[email protected] : Is it possible to duplicate a tab without reloading it, like actually make a copy of it? (lemmy.world)

When I duplicate a tab, a new tab is created with the same URL and I have to wait for it to download again. Why wouldn't Firefox just duplicate all the data of the tab into a new tab?

Modern websites are so complex and dynamic now it makes saving their state next to impossible.

For a while I’ve been longing for something similar, but for going forwards and backwards in a tab. There’s been too many times when I hit back to look at something I missed, only to find it was some dynamically loaded element that changes when the page is reopened.
