How to prevent Chrome Android browser from closing current tab from app switch?

[Qianlin Luo]

Hi group!

We have a use-case of supporting app switch from Chrome Android browser but we need the chrome browser to not close the current tab when app switch. Wondering if we could pass/configure something like canCloseTab through Chromium's ExternalNavigationParams potentially from our URL or custom-configure to prevent Chromium from closing the current tab during app switch.

Code pointer for closure detection: InterceptNavigationDelegateImpl.java - Chromium Code Search.

Thank you very much!
Any help would be appreciated🙏

Chromium does not support extension on Android. You may have better luck on chromium-discuss.
