I guess that different people have different browsing habits. Here are mine:

Whenever I read a webpage with several interesting links, I like to open each link in a separate tabs, while I read the parent page. This allows me to load the new pages in the background. I often end up with a queue of 30 tabs waiting to be read. My problem is that I lose history, whenever I close a parent tab.

Middle clicking on reload is a nice feature, but it requires me to make an active choice whenever I want to copy history. In comparison Galeon did not require me to make an active choice.

Furthermore  middle clicking on reload is slightly cumbersome, because I have to wait for the duplicate to load before I can press to open the link. Subsequently I have to click once again to return to the parent tab. This was easier in Galeon.

I realize that this feature may not be helpful to everybody, but it would be useful for me :-)

Kind regards
