Accidentally lost all of my tabs using updated iPad search engine, DuckDuckGO.

Using updated IPAD search engine, DUCK DUCK GO. Accidentally lost all of my tabs

I accidentally deleted all of my tabs (at least 200) while working on a project. I was using duck duck go and they do not keep history. I was unable to bookmark the sites before I hit the fire button on the browser by accident. Would any of the browser information be on the iCloud server? This happened 4 days ago. Am I doomed?

Are you using the native Safari browser App, or a different browser?

If you closed a Safari Window - and all associated tabs - you can reopen a Recently Closed Window for a limited period of time…

Starting from a Home Screen, assuming that Safari is visible in the Dock, touch-and-hold (i.e., long touch) the Safari icon; an Action Menu will appear.

From the menu, select Show All Windows; you will now see a screen that closely resembles the Task Switcher - but you will only see preview windows for your open Safari Windows. At top-right (iPadOS15) or top-left (iPadOS16/17/18) you will see the Reopen Closed Window(s) button.

You should note that the Reopen Closed Window(s) button allows you to reopen a window for a limited period of time. If left too long, you may have lost the opportunity to recover the closed window - and with it the tabs and related tab history.
