How to stop chrome from auto reloading tab when it stays open longer?

I've been using Window 7. It is just a bit annoying when tab is auto reloaded in Chrome browser when tab is kept open for longer. It always loses my data when page is auto reloaded.

Do you have any advise to stop this Chrome's behavior?

Thanks in advance.

As already mentioned in a comment the options is now called "Proactive tab freeze and discard" and can be found here: 

chrome://flags/#proactive-tab-freeze-and-discard

The available values are:

Enabled
Enabled Freeze only
Enabled Freeze and discard
Enabled Freeze and discard, heuristics disabled
Disabled

I have seen this option in Chrome 75 and Brave 0.65 Chromium: 75.0

You can control the details of the new Chrome behaviour playing with the different options for the setting #proactive-tab-freeze-and-discard.

This allows more control than the #automatic-tab-discarding flag.

Disable Automatic tab discarding at chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding.

If enabled, tabs get automatically discarded from memory when the system memory is low. Discarded tabs are still visible on the tab strip and get reloaded when clicked on. Info about discarded tabs can be found at chrome://discards. #automatic-tab-discarding

go to chrome://flags/ and set to "Disabled" flag "Only Auto-Reload Visible Tabs" and hit Relaunch browser.

That's it
