Created attachment 48232 [details] screenshot of whats currently possible already Version: 0.4.95 (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: FreeBSD It is possible to tune rekonq to resemble more of a chromium-like experience with Kwin. That includes a couple of non-intuitive ways right now. Maybe you could automate that. If user selects "Chromium"-Mode 1) Tell Kwin to always group rekonq-windows 2) Tell oxygen-deco to add window-specific rule to highlight active window title on rekonq-windows 3) in rekonq deactivate all tabbing stuff 3) in rekonq change hotkeys ctrl-t to open new window, ctrl-w to close current window That gives a really good experience (screenshot attached). What is still missing and would really be great to have: * [wish/bug?] actually multiple processes for different windows (I don't know why it uses the same process at all for different windows - tabs yes, but windows should be independent or not?) * [small annoying bug] mouse-middle-click still opens new tab, although I told rekonq in the options to always open links in new windows * [longterm-wish] (probably kwin-related): instead of forcing all rekonq-windows into a group, automatically group windows with their "parent" if they are spawned by another window. This way you could open a pdf in rekonq and it would appear as an extra tab, but in reality be okular :) And it would allow multiple window-groups. Thanks for your work and please don't see "chromium-likeness" as a criticism of rekonq's current style. Since rekonq resembles chromium in many other ways I think a lot users would appreciate it :) Reproducible: Always

Im my opinion, this has been fixed with 2.x. Feel free to reopen if not.
