Feature request: Browser history beyond restart

Any chance of making the browser stateful beyond restarts?
I'm specifically thinking about back/forward navigation.

Thanks @richardaubin, done in v2.33.0: browser panes now keep their Back/Forward history across a restart.

How it works:

It covers both the side browser panel and browser tabs in the split tree. As a bonus, it also covers the case where reorganising panes reloads a browser tab, which used to reset its history as well.
It restores the stack and the page you were on. Back and Forward walk the restored entries normally.
What's kept is each entry's URL and title only, with up to 50 entries per pane. Scroll position and form contents are deliberately not saved, because Chromium's page state includes typed form values and those have no business in session.json. Only http(s) pages are restored.

If anything behaves oddly after updating, please reopen this with what you saw.
