I'm working on a 100+ pages google doc in chrome.

Each time I open it, I need to wait for all the pages to load (I see the page increasing when I hover the scroll bar on the right). The problem is that it takes a while (several minutes) to reach the last page where I need to go. And I can't do anything else: when the tab isn't active, it stop loading. So I really need to wait for the page to load.

And since on chrome the pined tab aren't protected from closure or changing URL, it often close or goes to another page. So I have to wait again for the document to load to work.

Is there a way to make this document load by itself, without having to wait in front of it?
