It would be great to serialize the back/forward list when closing the inspector, at least when the main frame resource is the same on close and reopen. For other cases it may not make sense.. ?

I agree. Remembering it for the last URL would be good. Assuming the cookies can be serialized too…

This would likely involve using NavigationSidebarPanel's cookieForContentView. And also a variant of its showContentViewForCookie that only makes the ContentView and doesn't show it. And add a way to serialize and restore the new position cookies or declare those cookies void and only restore ContentViews.

Back/forward cookies and content view cookies are now the same thing, so this should be straightforward (modulo discarding invalid states).
