Well, the "fix" of updating Chrome lasted about two hours before it started doing it again. I do accept that makes it unlikely to be a Plusnet problem, but I am no closer to finding a permanent fix. I'm now back to background tabs routinely hanging and being impossible to refresh.


 

How about using another browser....e.g. Firefox or Opera ?  and see if the problem still happens.

Not an option, unfortunately. It's an old tablet with only 32 GB of storage - nearly 8 reserved for system functions. I don't have the luxury of multiple installed browsers just for times like this. I got an expansion card for it, but you can't launch apps from it (presumably because it would be too slow), so it's only good for media files.

@TLM  OK.... I just googled this for you... "which is the lightest browser for Android Tablet"  

here is the first option in the results page

Something there should "fit" into a small space, just to try it out.
