Add to that proper session management:

When I logout a KDE session Konqueror opens with all stuff like before on next 
login with exact window positions and so on – this even works in Akregor tabs 
usually. It is that integrated experience that I loved so much.

And easily having each window in its own process. Rekonq doesn ´t do this I 
think (at least the 2.4.2 version I have here). One konqueror window could 
crash and burn while the others still worked, like in Dolphin and any other I 
think *sane* application.

Iceweasel meanwhile partly gets session management right meanwhile, but then 
on some occasions when I quitted it before logging out it opens empty on next 
start. At least it lazy loads tabs, which is a nice feature, which I ´d love to 
see in Konqueror.

Chromium: Uhm, I think it doesn ´t remember anything between sessions.


Well I bet you get the idea: This nice, lovely, and *integrated* browsing 
experience I enjoyed years ago as the term KDE named the desktop that is now 
called Plasma. This: It feels like a KDE compoment kind of feeling.
