chrome tabs are tedious

multiple tabs open in chrome or moving back and fourth between chrome and other apps is just tedious its always reloading the page is there a way to force it to have the chached or saink?
 
that annoying reload is part of Chrome and cannot be turned off. alternatively whenever i'm reading things in multiple tabs i use Opera Mobile (NOT Mini) which doesn't do that. you have to change a setting though but i don't recall how it was done. some about:config hack
 
Have you tried the Desktop option? I have had 5 tabs open and can skip between them instantly.

Spikes
 
I think it is RAM related. If I switch tabs, I see the page as I left it for only an instant then it reloads. I think Google Chrome only allocates enough RAM to keep the view in one tab at a time.
 
perhaps either trying another browser or contacting Google and pray they listen (unlike Apple or Microsoft)
 
infact chrome is stakko on a tablet, twice now i had to leave a forum post half way through to uo a pic or check something in another tab and twice now its lost the dialogue in the open box again an android fail.
