This part begs a couple more questions :-) What you're essentially saying here is that when restarting the browser, you will also restore history data, correct? For tabs that were open when the browser was closed, this will mean that these will reappear after restart with full history, being able to go Back and restore state on previous pages? But for pages that were explicitly closed, and then navigated to in a "new" tab, will you restore the full history in these as well? And is that really desired from a user pov? (It seems you will be haunted by the same page history forever, even if the corresponding server state expired a long time ago.) And if there has been several sessions in parallel on that URL space, which one do you respawn for a navigation to a related page in a new tab? Best regards Mike
