Is there a browser for Android that won't constantly reload tabs when switching between them? I'm using Chrome on a Nexus 5 (lollipop). And even when there are no other apps running it will reload any tab that I switch to. Even if I only have two open.
Or, I'm browsing a page. Open a link in a new tab and continue reading the current page. I can see that the new page has loaded, but when I switch to that tab it gets reloaded. And then switching back to the original one it reloads that one too.
This makes reading on the tube impossible as I can only pre-load one tab :/
I should note that I've factory reset my phone a couple of days ago and this is still happening every single time.
Answer
Turns out the problem is (it seems) a memory leak in Android lollipop. The OS was using well over 1GB of RAM, which caused all the tabs to constantly reload. I got suspicious when I noticed that apps also got reloaded immediately.
After restarting the phone, the problem is no longer there. It seems it's a known bug, but I don't know when it's going to be fixed.
