You can't be serious. Browsers can't even remember the most trivial of things - a tiny html page, retaining reading position, forcing a reload. Of course many apps are no better (though some do try, just like on the desktop) And it's especially worse with user input that just gets lost

Ctrl+Q to close and a shortcut to open or is a faster and more convenient than swiping around. As is typing an app's name on a real keyboard. Tapping "desktop" icon is arguably better, though, that a mouse click
