Description

Describe the feature/enhancement you need

I need to persist WebView2 states when the application is restarted.

The scenario/use case where you would use this feature

For instance a web browser with multiple persistent tabs would need this. At the very least each tab should be able to persist its navigation history, including URLs and scroll positions.

How important is this request to you?

Critical. My app's basic functions wouldn't work without it.

Suggested implementation

Take a look at how this is done on Android WebView saveState and restoreState.

What does your app do? Is there a pending deadline for this request?

This is a showstopper. Can't release the app without that feature. We'll need to look at alternatives to Microsoft Edge WebView2.
