Can someone please tell me how to disable whatever function Chrome employs wherein if I have a "Page Cannot be Displayed - No Internet" tab open and connect to a network source, it automatically updates the tab(s)?

I guess Chrome is trying to help...somehow (does it think I don't know how to refresh a page on my own?), but this is seriously annoying when you have a particularly hefty session re-launch, have wonky wi-fi connections, or work with a VPN.

So many times Chrome will jump the gun and try to refresh all my tabs upon connecting to a network before I can run a proper test, or will try to simultaneously refresh EVERY tab at-once and murder my RAM.

I just want to have it so Chrome does NOT do ANY sort of Refresh on its own. Is this possible?
