Why do my Chrome tabs always reload when I switch between them?

This is something that has always happened on my Android phone, so I assumed it was a mobile thing. But now I'm noticing that it does it on my Chromebook too. But it does *not* do it on my PC.

Is this some kind of Android/mobile Chrome type thing? Every time I move between tabs (maybe after a few minutes have passed), the tab always tries to reload rather than just simply being where it was when I last left it.

Thanks.

Thank you! I guess that also explains why it doesn't happen on my PC...a lot more memory.

Edit: Hmm, I went to where the article said to go: chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding

But I don't see a flag to disable called "Automatic Tab Discarding" :(
