is there any way to disable autorefresh for pages?
thank you
If you mean some sites in particular that auto-refresh for whatever reason (I haven't encountered one in years!), then I don't think there's anything to stop it without installing an extension.
Now, if you mean the browser autorefreshing inactive tabs, then disable this: chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding
thanks, I've got the second disabled,
but I was referring to the first,
I don't have a problem to install an extension,
but I don't think there's a decent one,
I tried one some days ago and it didn't have any effect on the page I needed it to,
because, as I've read in the comments, it wasn't able to block all the types of refresh pages do,
so this is why I opened up this topic,
if anyone knows/uses a good one, let me know
Seems window.location.reload can't be hooked.
So there may be no perfect solution.
What a pity, I'm looking for the same feature

Can you provide the URL that you want to disable autorefresh on?

This looks like Tab Discarding.
Have you enabled "Purge memory at intervals of" chrome://settings/cbOptimization in or chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding?
