basically title. it, seemingly random, reloads tabs beside the one that last got used. weird behavior to sign off on.
Well, when you close the browser, it ends the session and clears active memory. So when you reopen it with the “On Startup: Continue where you left off” option enabled, the browser restores your tabs from saved session data rather than keeping them in memory. This requires it to reload the pages to retrieve their content again.
As for why it sometimes reloads tabs beside the one you last used, that usually happens because some browsers try to pre-load neighboring tabs to improve performance when you switch to them. It’s not truly random — it’s a kind of predictive behavior based on how you usually interact with tabs.
thanks for the explanation but some browsers or not, it’s super annoying because truly it adds nothing, takes away agency and pollutes brave’s history that already is very foggy as is bc it doesn’t display URLs as opposed to Vivaldi or well Firefox.
