Since I updated the newest version of Google Chrome if I leave some tabs open for a while and click on it after some time it refreshes which is very annoying. How can I stop that?

What you can do is to disable Tab Discarding in the Chrome browser settings. Before following the solutions below, make sure that you are not running Google Chrome version 75 and up as these methods only work on versions before that.

On a new tab, type chrome://flags and press Enter.
On the search box, type Tab Discarding and press Enter.
Look for Automatic tab discarding and click to open.
From the drop-down menu on the right, choose Disabled.
Click Relaunch Now to save the changes.
You can also disable auto-reloading of visible tabs.

On a new tab, type chrome://flags and press Enter.
On the search box, type Only Auto-Reload Visible Tabs and press Enter.
Click Only Auto-Reload Visible Tabs to open.
Choose Disabled from the drop-down menu.
Click Relaunch Now.

Final Thoughts!:
There may be some good opinions on Tab Discarding while other people wants to have more control. It all depends on what you need at the moment. So, best to test out both sides and see which ones work for you.
