How do I disable Chrome from timing out / killing a tab?

I know I'm coming late but the answer is in Chrome menu (the three stripes): Go to settings -> Show Advanced settings -> Privacy: uncheck the option that says 'Predict network actions to improve page load performance'. Hope that helps.

    A user is reporting that a certain screen of our Flex app times out in Google Chrome and IE. I can reproduce this problem, but I don't know what is causing it. I cannot reproduce it with Firefox.

    I was wondering if there is a way to temporarily disable this feature in Chrome because I know that in Firefox(at least in v3.6) when a Flex/Flash app executes for too long I get a stack trace from the Flash runtime pointing me to the problem. example:

    Error: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
        at TimeoutTest/___TimeoutTest_Button1_click()[/TimeoutTest/src/TimeoutTest.mxml:5]
    

    I think that Chrome is hijacking this process and denying me that information, so I would prefer to prevent this behavior for now to see if the runtime will detect the timeout and provide a similar trace.

    Any thoughts?

    I am in Flex and while there is a scriptTimeoutLimit you can set at the Application level I have found that it is not strictly enforced. I am looking for a way to disable Chrome from timing out a tab.

    I did some looking around like i am sure that you did they said that its a flaw within the system. google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/… says that a lot of people had to reinstall it and or pull the tap out into a new window for it to work.

    Thanks -- I am aware of everything that you are saying and I may have to resort to the profiler. Just wanted to find out if anyone is aware of a way to disable the feature in Chrome. I am not trying to find out how to disable the feature for all users, just myself in this particular instance as a debugging tool.
