Chrome asks whether to reopen windows if it didn't exit normally. Safari appears to just YOLO it. Don't know about Firefox.

  It asks.

  What if you needed all of your other tabs? It enrages me that how the browsers all decided that my state and my history were worthless to me. You know what happens when your business is a browser and you gradually deprecate different functions of a browser, rather than refining and expanding on them?

    You're enraged by a popup that asks if you want to restore your tabs, given that it just crashed?

      I'd guess GP id enraged that you can't selectively choose, or that there is no option to have the tabs restored without auto-loading, so you can keep your list of open work without being forced to reload a freezing tab.

        On Firefox, when it reopens, it isn't actually running any tab other than the one you were looking at when it closed. When you switch to one of the other tabs, that's the first time they are actually instantiated and run. So if you had this tab in the background, your machine crashed, and Firefox reopened on boot, it would not crash again. Often, it will report "We are having trouble restoring your session", seemingly without reason, and that dialog has a very simple system for choosing which windows and tabs to recreate vs which to discard. I think you can change a setting to always use this dialog. I can't recall if chrome has the same interface.

  Can't websites install web workers for persistent full offline access these days?
