Sometimes doesn’t save the active tab correctly when quitting Brave

[A-t-s-u-s-h-i]

Description

I found the user feedback says that Brave doesn’t save the active tab correctly when quitting Brave(So it shows the unexpected tab when relaunching). I could reproduce the same issue as below. Often reproduced, but not always. It was reproduced on all versions Stable/Beta/Nightly. I might quit Brave in real quick after changing tab for the test and it might cause the issue…

@A-t-s-u-s-h-i confirmed that the issue is reproducible in Chrome, we just wait for upstream fix with that.

@A-t-s-u-s-h-i To temporarily fix the issue, you can use the OneTab extension. Before exiting your browser, use this extension to save all your open tabs. Then, when you relaunch the browser, simply reopen all the tabs using the OneTab extension. This allows you to manage and restore your tabs efficiently every time you start a new session.
