Every morning / day across multiple machines. I don't leave them sleeping or hibernated.
Don't think I'd notice a slightly faster browser start; a 50% faster start would be nice though.

When all my windows are in one big stack (Windows, macOS), then multiple windows just get in the way and I’d agree.
But over the last couple months using better window managers like sway or niri, I tend to open new app/browser windows next to the windows they are related to.
It’s pretty nice for mental organization.

Personally, around 5 times per day, every day. When I don't browse, I close the browser
Unless you are regularly using all your RAM, there is a very good chance the browser's files are going to stay in disk cache and be effectively instant to load. 100MB is an imperceptible load time difference on a modern system where memory speed is 50-100GB/s or more.

It is also a moot point with modern processors and modern OSs.
Even more so in Orion's target macOS market where you can leave an app open without any windows open (not minimized, I mean not open at all) , so its ready to go at a click.
