I can’t imagine life without it, but I know there was a beforfore time.
For Firefox, Session Restore came in version 2 back in 2006 - Wikipedia
I’m not sure when Internet Explorer added the feature, but they removed the automatic restore in version 8 and made it manual in 2009 - Wikipedia. I feel like Internet Explorer 6 had this feature, but I can’t remember now.
Not sure when/if older browsers like Netscape Navigator had this feature.

Imagine the web without cookies man. There was nothing to remember, just caching pictures and history.
I’ve learned that it first came about as an explicit feature around 2006, I was not awake as a proper human at this point.
Regarding the privacy concerns.
Just now, my friend used her google photos AI to search for photos of me and my dead cat using my name.
I’ve come to accept that my information is readily available and that I am but a humble fish apart of a school surrounded by sharks, playing a numbers game for survival.
the Voyager lemmy app needs this SO bad. i want to google up something before i comment and then poof the whole post is gone.
That might be something with voyager, I agree with the other person that it sounds like the device itself is closing the app due to some sort of battery setting, but if it’s not that then it’s something at least. I’ve tried a handful of different lemmy clients now currently using eternity and none of them did what you were describing there.
That or operator error(less likely) such as using the back button to go back to the home screen instead of using the home button or something simple like that
i have several other apps like firefox that reopen where i left off just fine. i wonder what other people who use voyager experience?
long shot but, if its a samsung, and you installed the app then didn’t use it for awhile, it might have “deep sleep”'d it, basically deep sleeping apps can’t run in the background, and it does what you are describing on a per app basis.
thanks i have iphone. The Voyager app doesnt have a background refresh option in system settings.

Ironically, I prefer browsers that specifically do not do this.
Tbh I despise it, I want a fresh start every time
