qutebrowser: Restore a named session of a qutebrowser instance.
$ qutebrowser --restore ${session_name}
try on your machine

The command qutebrowser --restore ${session_name} is used to launch the qutebrowser web browser and restore a specific session.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • qutebrowser: This is the executable command to launch the qutebrowser web browser.
  • --restore: This is a command-line option for qutebrowser to specify that a session should be restored.
  • ${session_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the session that needs to be restored. It is typically replaced with the name of a previously saved session.

By providing the session name after --restore, qutebrowser will load and restore that particular session. A session in qutebrowser refers to a collection of tabs or web pages that were saved during a previous browsing session. This feature allows users to resume their browsing exactly where they left off, with all the tabs and their history intact.
