No Tabs Auto Discard in Chrome with OffiDocs

DESCRIPTION

Not all domains or web applications benefit from Chrome's tabs auto-discarding feature, in an enterprise context many of those are state-rich, always connected mission critical applications (e.

g.

CTI applications, monitoring applications, etc.

) which can be negatively impacted by such Chrome feature.

This extension has been developed to deal with Chrome tabs auto-discarding feature by providing a way to configure its behaviour over the tabs of a Chrome instance.

The extension monitors your tabs and can be configured to: - turn off the extension (Chrome default behaviour) - disable auto-discarding on all tabs (already opened and new tabs) - disable auto-discard for specific domains (already opened and new tabs) The extension's configuration can be provided in two ways (in order of precedence): - by Chrome Policies (for enterprise Administrator/Users distributed via Windows Group Policy) - by local configuration file Configuration Parameters ------------------------------------ This extension can be configured with this two parameters : - DiscardDisabledMode This mandatory parameter controls the extension behaviour: - EXTENSION_DISABLED Disable the extension - DISABLE_FOR_ALL_TABS (default extension mode) Disable auto-discard for all tabs - DISABLE_ONLY_FOR_DOMAINS Disable auto-discard for specific domains (FQDN, e.

g.

medium.

com, www.

google.

com) - DiscardDisabledDomains This optional parameter is specific for DiscardDisabledMode=DISABLE_ONLY_FOR_DOMAINS and contains the list of domains for which to disable auto-discarding: - e.

g.

[ "medium.

com", "www.

google.

com"] If DiscardDisabledMode=DISABLE_ONLY_FOR_DOMAINS but the list is empty, the extension will behave like DiscardDisabledMode=DISABLE_FOR_ALL_TABS Configuration Providers ------------------------------------ - Chrome Policies (for enterprise Administrator/Users distributed via Windows Group Policy) The extension configuration can be provided machine-wide or for specific users by applying enterprise policies or GPO to the device registry under the following keys: - Machine-Wide HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\ndpjhokgnpdcldkklhhklkgabnjehfap\policy - Specific User HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\ndpjhokgnpdcldkklhhklkgabnjehfap\policy Depending on your choice, under the key create the two configuration parameters: - DiscardDisabledMode (string/REG_SZ) - DiscardDisabledDomains (string/REG_SZ) IMPORTANT!!! Chrome Policies have precedence over the local configuration file.

- Local configuration file The extension can be also configured by its local configuration file (config.

json), located under the extension's installation folder (e.

g.

on Windows) : - C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions\ndpjhokgnpdcldkklhhklkgabnjehfap\<extension version>\config.

json The configuration file has this structure (the json below shows the default configuration) : { "DiscardDisabledMode":"DISABLE_FOR_ALL_TABS", "DiscardDisabledDomains":[] } - Configuration Refresh ---------------------------------- The extension's configuration is refreshed: - manually - by clicking the "Refresh Configuration" button on the extension popup - automatically by the extension: - when Chrome starts up - every 60 minutes - when the device is locked or screensaver is active for more than 2 minutes
