"Seems like on restart Safari wants to revisit previously opened pages" I've always found that behavior annoying. If I want to revisit the last page, I can find it in history.
I'm sure you're in the absolute minority. Most people want all apps, including the browser, to stay the way they were when they closed them, even after a reboot

#75I tried it on my iPhone X and it triggers a kernel panic (agxk_mmu.cpp) when trying to allocate memory for WebKit. It seems it exhausts the memory so fast that it triggers an assertion error somewhere?

#79Don't most security researchers wait until it is patched before posting the details of something like this?
Most people that call themselves security researchers will notify the vendor and give them some amount of time before publishing it. He waited 1 day.
My best guess is that since it's just a OS crash, he felt he could release it. But for something that is easy for any website to do, seems like he should have given them some more time.

I sure as heck want my tabs back. But I'd settle for "restore tabs" as I have to do that a lot in chrome on my MacBook Pro. On my Android, the tabs are just there and I really appreciate it. I have over a dozen tabs open on my phone and two dozen on my laptop.
