*** Bug 163432 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 241010 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I realised that this is a feature, not a bug. It is very useful if you open each site in separate window. Much more useful than having all sites in one windows with multiple tabs. Now I use tabs only when opening several pages on the same site, and I like the way it works. So I removed my vote from this request. Instead, I think it would be usefull to have default behaviour to open different sites in different windows, and to open pages from the same site in same window. I would appreciate to be able to change the settings as well. The favicon makes it difficult to find konqueror with Alt + Tab and display list while switching set to display large icons (option as found in KDE SC 4.5, in windows behavior). Cheers, Alessandro *** Bug 280713 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'd like that feature too. Very confusion in alt-tab and taskbar to have konqueror always change its icon. I vote for this feature as well. I can understand some people might prefer to get the favicon in the taskbar, but for some other users, it's quite irritating. Did you know some users don't even know which favicon was used in the website they'd just left when switching to another program? When they go back to the website, they just want to switch back to the browser they know (konqueror), and don't confuse with "which icon is different from the one I'm used to?". Konqueror has a bunch of options for selecting how tabs behave (I think half of them are not that useful), it should at least get an option to disable the favicons in the taskbar. I don't use much Konqueror because of this, otherwise it's a good browser :( Go to https://www.mozilla.org/ Now Konqueror has a firefox icon!! ;) Honestly, this "feature" is annoying as hell... No other browser is doing this. They all "protect" and advert for their brand by displaying it in the taskbar. And the Konqueror icon is good-looking, what a pity!

I even patch plasma5-workspace to get this feature back (the rendering of favicons in the taskbar got intentionally banned from code by Eike Hein) because it is "annoying as hell" not to see just with a glimpse of an eye which of the many browser windows I must have open in parallel contains which content. So - just speak for yourself. Other workflows, other priorities. I keep using konqueror despite all of the flaws of its current state because it is the only brower doing this. |
