WebViews are instantiated on demand, when a tab is first activated. So when you start the browser and it restores 30 previously open tabs, it actually instantiates 30 lightweight tabComponent objects which are made up of just a FocusScope, hidden by default.

So I would expect the overhead to be really minimal, if not negligible.

It might still make sense to limit the number of tabs restored (given our data model in which tabs are always ordered by recency, this should be trivial to implement).

Adding an ubuntu-ux task to get design to comment on the idea.
