Adam Reichold proposed the following answer:
Hello Benjamin,

the main reasons for tabs, bookmarks and per-file settings being stored
in a database instead of a configuration file are that there could be a
unlimited number of them and more importantly that they are not just a
list of values, but rather a list of entries with several properties.
For example to restore a tab, you need to know the file path, the
current page, the scale mode and factor etc. And a list of entries with
several properties is pretty a much a table. Anyway, you can very much
remove a single tab by using the sqlite command-line tool to edit the
database whose format is hopefully self-explanatory. (E.g. just use the
"DELETE" SQL command to remove a specific entry of the "tabs_v2" table.)

Best regards, Adam.
