>- they keep sessions (a)live (audio/video, chat, where you stop reading)

in a way, yes. I'm one of these users. My 6000+ tabs with ~10 windows load in an unloaded state. I have addons that unload already-clicked-by-me tabs if I need the RAM or if some JS script is running wild on FF but I still might need that tab. I simply treat it as: I might come back to that topic later. 70-80% of the time I rarely do lol. or it takes me 2 years.

>they (at least on desktop) have better ux than bookmarks and history

it simply is easier to click on the list in the sidebar than having to go through a bookmark window and wait for the UI to load the tabs itself.

what's funny is, with Firefox, when I close a window with 1000 tabs and were to restore it, it takes Firefox way longer to restore that window than if I were to load my session from zero/Windows.
