Brave Loses All Tabs When Closed with Multiple Instances Across Workspaces on Windows

@chbox

About the Brave Browser Memory and Energy Saver control switch - including the effect of the control re using Tabs:

Brave Support - Brave Help Center article, “How do I use the Memory and Energy Saver features in Brave?” ← I reposted that, at:

Cannot access inactive tabs - #2 by 289wk

Maybe, for some as-yet-unknown-reason, that feature effectively crosses over what are supposed to be barriers between virtual platforms, workstations, workplaces, workspaces?


The usage of the term “instance” (as used in a wide variety of reported issues, here at the Brave Community) may mean any of:

  • an open tab
  • an open window
  • a running process
  • an Internet browser user Profile
  • a Brave Browser stable release installation
  • a Brave Browser Beta release installation
  • a Brave Browser Nightly release installation
  • a ______ -type of workplace / workspace (there are many types)

A virtual platform may mean:

  • a virtual platform
  • a virtual workplace
  • a virtual workspace
  • a virtual workstation
  • a “virtual instance”

. . . again, depending upon who is doing the reading / writing.

Better to describe in specific details, for example:

I have a Windows OS 11 PC, on which, I have 3 virtual platforms - 1: VMWare, 1: Parallels, 1: Windows Virtual Machine.

Brave Browser v1.76.82 is on my Windows OS 11 PC, the browser is a system level (not a user level) installation.

On each of the 3 virtual platforms mentioned, I have Windows OS 11 installed.

On the VMWare platform, I have Brave Browser v1.76.82 installed - a system level intallation.

On the Parallels platform, I have Brave Browser v1.63.169 installed - a user level installation.

On the Windows Virtual Machine platform, I have Brave Browser v1.76.82 installed - a user level intallation.

Thus, I have 4 Brave Browser installations:

  • 1 BB installation on my Windows OS 11 PC platform
  • 3 BB installations, 1 each per virtual platform, of the 3 virtual platforms on my Windows OS 11 PC

I use multiple Tabs for each Brave Browser user Profile of each Brave Browser installation.
