Browser Development • Disable "Close the window when the last tab is closed" by default

Hello, I would like to suggest changing the default behavior of the setting: Preferences → Tabs → "Close the window when the last tab is closed" Currently, this option is enabled by default. I think it would be better if it were disabled by default instead. Many modern browsers keep the window open after the last tab is closed, which helps prevent accidental browser exits and provides a more convenient workflow for users who often reopen or create new tabs. Of course, users who prefer the current behavior could still enable the option manually. Thank you for considering this suggestion.
