I agree, but I would not mind if the security and copy+paste buttons 
stayed, as Leo pointed out. However I personally don't need them.

Please also remove the KGet button.
KGet is integrated in Konqueror anyway, one does not have to drag all 
files to a "drop target". And I bet 99% of all users do not use the "List 
all links" feature.

Furthermore, toolbar buttons which are in reality a dropdown menu serve no 
purpose, as one has to do two mouse clicks.

(Reading that sites generally gives the feeling KDE has indeed copied many 
bad design decisions from Microsoft)

Instead, KGet should be moved to the "Tools" menu, like all other tools. 
All the users who really want a drop target or need to list all links can 
then find it there.

Simply downloading files with KGet works without the toolbar button 
anyway, so it is not needed.
