How to STOP safari or chrome from closing all open tabs upon quitting the app on my mac?

How can I STOP safari or chrome from closing all my open tabs upon quitting the app on my mac? I have adjusted the settings to Safari: open to all windows from last session and on chrome to resume where left off but upon quitting, all tabs r closed again! Is it something related to the macbook settings? I am running macOS ventura 13.

Any help?

NB: Clearing all data, restarting, checking malware, profiles, etc. did not work.

Thanks

Make sure "Close windows when quitting an application" is disabled in System Settings > Desktop & Dock.

Thank you for your support.

Unfortunately, it is still closing all tabs (safari and chrome). When ever I close a browser, I loose all open tabs.

I tried editing all settings, restarting, etc. nothing is working :(

Are you clicking the red close button before you quit the apps? If you close the window you will lose all your tabs. You have to quit the browser with the window and all the tabs still open.
