StayPut

StayPut is a Chrome extension that blocks form-triggered reloads and redirects for the current tab.

When enabled, forms can submit in the background while the page stays exactly where it is.

Load in Google Chrome

Use

1. Open the tab where you want forms to submit without page navigation.
2. Click the extension icon.
3. Turn on Enable for this tab.

The setting is per tab. If the tab reloads or closes, the extension turns off for that tab.
