Erdős problem 302

Let f(N)f(N) be the size of the largest A{1,,N}A\subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\} such that there are no solutions to 1a=1b+1c\frac{1}{a}= \frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c} with distinct a,b,cAa,b,c\in A? Estimate f(N)f(N).

Stijn Cambie has observed that f(N)(5/8+o(1))N,f(N)\geq (5/8+o(1))N, taking AA to be all odd integers N/4\leq N/4 and all integers in [N/2,N][N/2,N].
