No, iPhone backups do not save open Safari tabs. While an iCloud backup includes Safari data like bookmarks and browsing history, it does not store active Safari tabs. However, you can use the iCloud Tabs feature to access tabs open on other devices linked to the same Apple ID, but this feature requires all devices to be signed in and connected to the internet.
