Real multitabbing for browser?

Unfortunately, when you open an address in a new tab, it is not really a new tab that is opened, but only a new page loaded. If you close or change the tab it must first be loaded again.

Is planned that one day the pages remain in the memory and does not need to be reloaded?

tl;dr Tab behaviour (reload on tab-switch) and breaks informal standards (typical user expectations). Please passively save previous tab state to disk if there's space, or fix it if it's there and tweakable.
