It's been interesting seeing tab persistence slowly become the default in recent years. I've never quite understood it. Maybe it's just my way of coping with some sort of mild undiagnosed ADD, but if I open my browser for one thing and something else pops up I tend to forget what the first thing was so I've always set my browser up to open a single tab to about:blank (or at least some sort of blank page. It's gotten more complicated recently). It's always interesting to see how other people's brains work, but also validating to hear I'm not the only one with a need for "tidier browsing habits".

there’s also different mindsets when browsing. I want my “junk drawer” of tabs to be automatically tidied but my more curated long term tabs in named tab groups to be persistent

But I never seem to use tab groups as much as I am theoretically excited to :/
