How can I stop Chrome from having its tabs Sleep/Hibernate? I'm running the "revolver" extension and I want the tabs to reload before I cycles to it.. however it seems that chrome's tabs are put in a state of hibernation so it doesn't reload until the tab is "active" and showing.

Is there a workaround for this?

From wOxxOm's link:

"you can turn this off by going to "chrome://flags/" and selecting "Disabled" under "Enable tab discarding"
