Prevent Auto-Reload of tabs?

Hello,

so for a few releases of Iron now, it has this strange "feature" that a tab which was not looked at for some time, as it gets switched to, reloads the page it is displaying.
Accumulated, this generates an incredible amount of wasted time for me.
Can this be deactivated somehow?
I'm not afraid of hacks. I want this to stop.

Thanks!

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