I am having a problem. A couple days ago, in Brave Browser on my laptop, I closed the browser while some tabs were still open. But then there was also this other thing where I had two windows open at once: one with 2 tabs and another with 10 or more tabs that I closed both of them hoping they would all come back when I reopen it tomorrow. It only came back to the 2 tab window though not the 10+ tab window.

I just left it alone for a while, but now checking my task manager showed me something else. Whenever I open Brave again, those 10 or more tabs come back along with my new browser window. Obviously I can't close them. I tried to end tasks on some of them, but they came right back after a few minutes. Is there any other way than uninstalling Brave and closing those never-restored tabs? Also, since Brave uses Chromium, the link here https://imgur.com/1ELXuk0 looks interesting: View: https://imgur.com/1ELXuk0

It's probably not just tabs, but instead each browser creates its own little program to keep things safe and secure.

It might not be tabs. Most browsers make a new process just to work so they stay safe.
