What happened?

Note: this also happens on Firefox but Zen should (I assume easily) add a workaround.

When I restart the browser and click on a pinned tab, it loads the cached page instead of refreshing and showing new content. Note this is not a typical caching problem because the page is not static and as soon as I hit the refresh button it will show the new content.

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

This very much in my interest to. But not only mine. That would be great to have pinned tab refresh to the state when it was pinned. For example for me it would be great that tab cnn.com refresh to that site and not on subdomains where I was when I was reading something and closed Browser.
And I understand that it is to much for anyone to go and satisfy everyone. But I really think this would be cool

There's an option in settings to have pinned tabs and essential tabs reset to their original urls on browser start up

Found it, thank you. I didn't pay attention to the setting due to the fact that after I start the browser tabs are empty. I Have to individually click one by one for them to go online and fetch content.
I was talking about that. I thought that starting the browser they would go immediately online and fetch content. That does not happen. Have to click one by one

Hello

Just FYI as far as Tabs remaining empty when you switch to workspace its the same behavior in Version 1.8.2b (64—bit)
So maybe its expected behavior but what I would like to see is forced refresh of the tabs when you switch to workspace.
Otherwise it is an awesome browser
