Chrome also uses a private window, not private tabs. You just can't restore closed private tabs, which is probably how it should be.

- atrotors 11y agoThe thing is that chrome sandboxes every tab, but firefox doesn't and it's easier for firefox to restore tabs than for chrome is to do.
- Spellman 11y agoChrome fires up a separate thread for each tab. So any information about that tab is lost once the tab, (and thus sandbox) closes. No information specific to the tabs is stored in the window unless explicitly done (like bookmarking). Thus, the session history is stored inside that sandbox, so it's gone once it's closed. Firefox is maintaining a window with tabs within it. So it can still keep your session info for each tab stored at the window level and restore it even after a tab is close.
