Use KWallet. The only thing missing is auto-submit of forms.

It is (not sure if default). BTW - web shortcuts are much, much more
comfortable.

Isn't it default?

Yeah. Theoretically it exists but only with specific cache settings,
should be independent.

You can have it on the tab.

Two icons (close and icon) is too much for one tab.

It is (on the left side of tab row).

Present in Konq.

See above.

See above.

Not.

Khotkeys is the keyword.

Present in Konq.

Not sure.

There is gg default for Google afair (I changed it long time ago for g,
gg for groups and gi for images).

>  - Use cache whenever possible

Ugh. As default setting it makes no sense. Most people use web for
checking information, loading news.yahoo.com from cache could cause
funny efects. OTOH if Konq could separate loading of graphics (a la
Opera) and text...

Huh? Put KGet into tray and you will see only unobtrusive passive
popups.

Kde-addons.

AFAIK in big part it is Google problem. *They* are rejecting Konq.
