Long running Snap! tabs might get closed

Help with Snap! Snap! Editor

Just seen this article

It says chrome will close "unused" tabs in order to save memory. The tab will still be visible but its only a placeholder - the site behind the tab will get closed and re-opened when you click on a tab

I already battle with browsers/OSes that want to put things to sleep so I feel this might cause issues for long running Snap! browser tabs - we'll have to see but something to watch out for

FYI - If I want a Snap! project to run 24/7 - I run them in their own browser instance (e.g just 1 tab) on a Linux machine

E.g, I have a project that uses MQTT to monitor cheerlights and also forwards it onwards to a NodeRED flow that makes my Alexa speak out everytime it changes

To avoid any issues while developing projects - make sure you save often! :slight_smile:

I don't use Chrome (except for testing) myself but lots of people do - especially the Snappers on school Chromebooks
