please explain. the goal is not to have no features, but to not include 
binaries which do not work or are not used.

this is the plasmoid, not the browser itself.

btw, as for "Rekonq" active ... how much life is there from the rekonq side? 
so far all the work has been done by sebas and marco with some pitching in 
from me. 

i'd LOVE to see the browser component contributed to in a meaningful manner by 
the rekonq team, in particular being able to share larger and more complex 
pieces, or to apply expertise with QtWebKit for things like responding to new 
window requests, etc.

so far, that effort is missing however. and it isn't fair to use the name 
"rekonq" without that project's involvement (ignoring that "rekonq" is not a 
very marketable / memorable / understandable name to start with :), so it is 
currently called "active-browser"

all of that lives in the networkmanagement git repository. the bits that are 
in workspace ought to be there as well.
