> Restoring a session is 17% quicker, meaning you can more quickly pick up where you left off

I actually wouldn't mind if they throttled this a bit. I keep a tab or two (dozen) open to Hacker News posts I haven't gotten around to reading yet. I dread restarting the browser, as several tabs inevitably end up displaying the "Sorry, we're not able to serve your requests this quickly" page.

Not sure why you're seeing that, a tab shouldn't be reloaded until you click on it the first time in the reloaded session, just retested here to confirm that is the case.

not OP, but probably the tabs are pinned, that causes them to load at startup

I've found the Auto Tab Discard extension to be really helpful. It generally lowers the impact of having lots of tabs open and on startup only the visible tabs load.
