Here are the plugins that can cause Google Chrome tabs to refresh frequently and related causes: 1. Ad blocking plugins: such as Adblock Plus, etc. These plugins may conflict with the ad code or scripts of certain websites when filtering ads. When the visited website contains ad elements blocked by plugins, and the website’s script tries to dynamically load or update these ad contents, it can lead to pages constantly reloading to adapt to the plugin’s ad blocking operation, resulting in frequent tab refreshes. 2. Privacy protection plugins: such as Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, etc. They protect user privacy by blocking trackers and malicious scripts. However, some websites may rely on scripts that are considered tracked by privacy protection plugins to function normally, and when these scripts are blocked, the website may appear abnormal, causing the browser to constantly try to reload the page to restore normal display, resulting in frequent tab refreshes. 3. Performance optimization plugins: Plugins like Webpage Test, Pingdom, etc. are used to test website performance. When performing performance checks on a web page, you might send a message to the serverSending a large number of requests or performing frequent operations on page elements can interfere with the normal loading and rendering process of web pages, causing browsers to mistakenly believe that the page needs to be refreshed to get the latest data, leading to frequent tab refreshes. 4. Script execution plugins: For example, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, and other plugins that allow users to customize scripts. If the installed script conflicts with the script of the web page itself, or if the script is not standardized, it may cause the JavaScript code of the web page to be executed incorrectly, making the page unable to display normally, and the browser will automatically refresh the page to try to reload the correct content, resulting in frequent tab refreshes. 5. Security plugins: Password management plugins such as LastPass and 1Password, as well as browser security plugins that come with some antivirus software. In some cases, these plugins may over-check the security of web pages, misjudge normal web page elements as security hazards, and prevent them from loading or running, resulting in the web page not being fully displayed, and the browser can only try to solve the problem by refreshing the page, resulting in tab refreshes frequently. 6. Theme and style plugins: For example, some plugins for changing the appearance of the browser or the style of the web page. If the plugin’s theme or style file conflicts with the CSS style of the web page, it may cause the page layout to be confusing or some elements to not display properly. To fix these issues, the browser may constantly refresh the page to reapply the correct style, resulting in frequent tab refreshes. In summary, frequent refreshes of Google Chrome tabs can be caused by a variety of plugins, including ad blocking, privacy protection, performance optimization, script execution, security, and theme style plugins. These plugins may conflict with web page code or interfere with normal loading, causing the browser to misjudge the need to refresh the page. To resolve this issue, you need to troubleshoot and disable the relevant plugins one by one to restore the normal display of the page.
