iPadOS and Safari forgetting tabs

[LastStarfighter]

Hi All,

I tend to keep a set of tabs open on my browser on my mobile devices and sometimes don't go back to those pages for a while (days sometimes weeks). I like Safari but over time it seems to forget what page was open in a tab and you just end up with no page open in it which I really don't like. I tend to keep pages open for various things I need for work, as well as articles I plan to read later and would rather they stay on the page I leave them on.

I've gravitated towards Firefox as it never seems to forget what pages you have open. I don't know why this is such a difficulty for Safari

Now we have "desktop Safari" does anyone know if this behaviour changes?

I’ve never had this happen UNTIL 13.1, so...

So far I’ve not had this happen on iOS or iPadOS 13.

Yes and there is some other bug (or bizarre hidden ‘feature’) where pressing on a link fills the browser with just that one page and all the other tabs disappear. Not cool

Yeap I’ve had this happen, I had a window with loads of tabs open. And it just vanished!!.. keeping a second Safari window with only 3 tabs on it. I also don’t like the split view as it’s nigh on impossible to make it take half the screen up.
