I know Microsoft Edge lets you reopen the 20 most recently closed tabs and windows, but does it store/retain info about stuff that was closed further back?

Microsoft Edge usually allows users to reopen the last few tabs that were closed, typically around 20 tabs in recent versions. However, once you exceed this limit, the older closed tabs may not be readily available through the built-in browser history function.
If you've closed tabs beyond this immediate history cutoff, you can still access them through your browsing history. Here's how you can view additional recently closed tabs in Microsoft Edge using browsing history:

Remember that the length of time and amount of browsing history stored locally can impact how far back you can retrieve closed tabs. If you need to access older closed tabs or history items frequently, you might want to consider using bookmarks or extensions designed for managing and organizing browsing history and tabs efficiently.
