3 weeks into using Kibana, I started to have this weird issue... Everytime I switch tab focus into a Kibana page, the whole page reloads. It is quite frustrating and also data and time consuming. Do you know what's wrong? ![kibana_reloads](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/4/6/46c8aa6749753f59ad05377cd1f95338340d65f0.gif) ---

What is your browser? I'm wondering also what the Kibana URL is when you are switching from one tab to another. May be your browser is sending a refresh operation as it tries to minimize the memory usage and offload the website in the tab? ---

That's a very good lead, I have just tried with Edge and I don't have this issue. I use Google Chrome Version 125.0.6422.142 (Official Build) (64-bit). First I've whitelisted Kibana in the performance settings. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/3/5/35b87d9fcbaacb3fdc8c2f857585e4a8a17eb723.png) Then I've deactivated both _Memory Saver_ and _Preload Pages_ in Chrome settings and yet the same reloading issue happens. Anyone else ? At least now I know it's a browser related issue, thank you. ---

I have Version 125.0.6422.141 on MacOS and no issue on my side... My Kibana tab is using 440mb apparently. ---

Found the solution, one of my extension was causing the issue. I cannot post link, but this topic from Google Support helped me. > Does this occur while using Incognito?
