Reopen browser windows in their dedicated virtual desktops in Windows 10

I'm an ex-user of Opera and I wanted to get back to it because I like many things in this browser. But currently lack of virtual desktop support is a deal-breaker for me.
In currently used browser I can have many windows scattered along multiple desktops and browser will reopen all windows on their dedicated desktops after system restart. Also, reopening last tab will pop it up in the same desktop/window where it was previously closed.
Usually I have separate desktops for work, home furnishing (new flat - my big in-progress project
) and for entertainment. That's my minimum, sometimes I open more desktops for other dedicated tasks. I context switch between those desktops several times through the day and at the end of the day I shut down my PC and start it the next morning. Sometimes I need to restart it in the middle of the day (update). It is essential for me that browser will recreate full state including proper placement of multiple windows. -

Recent post about that at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/wgmvno/multiple_desktops_win_11_opera_on_startup_open/.
What browser does that work in for you? It doesn't even work in Edge for me.

@burnout426 It works for me in Edge.
At home, Edge 104.0.1293.47 on Windows 10.0.19044 works decently, although in quite recent past I had cases where Edge (not sure if exactly mentioned version) was stubbornly reopening some window (or two) on wrong desktop - and it was the same wrong desktop throughout few restarts - to be specific. But mostly it is very useful.
At work, Edge 103.0.1264.49 on Windows 10.0.19042 reopens perfectly. Some topics take days for e-mail/IM ping-pong, so I often have a dozen of desktops with multiple windows/tabs in each. I have to restart my virtual machine every week or two as part of update and I have every single window in the correct desktop afterwards.

Okay. It's not working for me in Edge. But, I'm on Win11 and maybe it's broken there.
