    Imagine the web without cookies man. There was nothing to remember, just caching pictures and history.

    I remember Session Restore from Firefox 2.0 times, I think. Back then people would crash the browser on purpose to have it remember the tabs.

    So I guess this sort of feature is, like, ~two decades old or so.

      I remember doing similar. I would intentionally kill my browser/computer without gracefully shutting down the browser. Literally everything else I would go and shut down normally, browser needed to be crashed.
