I can understand your frustration that it comes back on the table. However, 
please do consider the following point. The most used browsers are:
- IE
- Firefox
- Chrome a distant third

Based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

IE only works on Windows. Firefox and Chrome are multi-platform, but clearly 
focus on the platforms where they have the most users.

My point being, none of these browsers are Linux-centered. Rekonq is 
intrinsically linked to KDE, and will for the foreseeable future have most of 
its users on a Linux distribution. So, with regard to copy-paste, given the 
difference of platform, it is perfectly legitimate NOT to look at what the most 
used browsers, which are built (again, with regard to copy-paste) for different 
needs, do.

Cheers,
