2014-09-29 14:39:39 Giorgio Venturi description After killing the browser app, each subsequent restart will open it with the same set of pages open. In theory this might be a nice feature, but it's kind of a problem if one of those pages causes the browser to crash or lock up. The browser app then becomes unusable without manually removing its config. Could we make it ask on launch whether to re-open previous pages, and let the user choose to start fresh if desired? I've noticed this a lot lately, but the specific version I'm using now is from rtm krillin image 33.

Note: The above solution does not address the common use case of "I want a fresh, empty browser instance", or "I want to choose whether to restore my session", which is what many people seem to want.
