Optimize open tab storage and tab switching in IAB #24192
Description
What is this about?
Currently:
- We reload each page each time the tab is switched
- We reload the active tab when you move away from browser and back to browser
Both of these are contributing to feeling of slowness/clunkiness
Previously, we've kept the connection open for each open tab, spending a lot of device resources - and the number of open tabs was limited to 5 to keep resource utilization at bay
Scope:
- Explore the possibility of caching the active tab and several last visited tabs without significant impact on device resources
- Implement the caching solution identified during the exploratory phase
