UI - ignore disconnect on network timeout to prevent query/data loss

I'm often running query workbench via VPN and I turn my VPN on/off throughout the day.  I'd prefer to pick up where I left off with query workbench but when I lose network connectivity I eventually get the old chrome message "172.23.120.22 took too long to respond."

Is there a way to keep me on the cached page instead? I need to see what I was doing but can no longer see it when this happens, sometimes pretty frustrating. 

I'm not assuming we can do anything if it's chrome's fault though...
