ipadsafaritabs
Since upgrading to iOS 13.1 on my iPad (5th Gen, 9.5"), whenever I close the Safari app or turn off iPad, my open tabs are NOT restored.
This was working fine before the upgrade. Anyone else or any suggestions? I keep tabs open till I’ve dealt with them. This behaviour is a blow for me.
It's not a setting in Safari, but a general setting. Go to your System Preferences < General and make sure Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps is checked on.
But you can install some 3th party apps too.
I haven't any experience with neither of these apps, so please let me know if it works out!
Unfortunately the range of extensions available for Safari is pretty limited, and no one has written such an extension at this point.
Also having written an extension or two for myself in the past, there is no way to access the tabs and colour them in any way, so it would not be possible.
It may be worth looking at another browser such as Google Chrome, or Firefox.

While it’s not enabled by default, iPadOS has an option for Safari to automatically close open tabs if they’ve not been viewed for a while. Have you accidentally enabled that option and set it for one day? You’ll find it under Settings / Safari / Close Tabs.
