As KB suggested, GNU Screen or tmux are both really useful for
maintaining your session if you lose your connection.
It also might be worth trying out the Mosh remote shell
(https://mosh.org/). This leverages SSH to make the initial connection,
but is much more robust when dealing with timeouts and IP address /
network changes.
All three of these packages are likely to be packaged for whatever
distribution you use.
Best regards,

The work requires frequent visits to various web sites, and searches

Please tell me about the timeout intervals which are customary in
Ubuntu Linux, in Bash, and in ssh: I need to extend them.
Not an answer to your question, but a suggestion, and you might
already be doing this: use "screen" and you can at least resume your
previous session and pick up where you left off.
It has a bunch of features but the minimal you need to learn to fire
it up and reconnect when disconnected isn't too bad...
