True, but I've lost data in 'magically closed' konsole tabs much more often
than I've accidentally closed browser tabs with unsaved form data. (There isn't
data loss on simple web pages, at least not with FF, because you can simply
re-open the tab. For that matter, I can even see loss of form data being
considered a bug.)

I also can't say I've "accidentally" closed a browser tab (meaning, I didn't
intend to close it, as opposed to intentionally closing it and immediately
deciding I shouldn't have done that :-)). I've accidentally closed konsole
tabs, when trying to paste, on a number of occasions. (IOW I agree with dfaure
that you're more likely to mis-click in konsole than in a browser. Especially
since konsole provides 90+% of the screen as a target, such that one does not
need to aim nearly so carefully... or wouldn't, if not for needing to carefully
aim AWAY from the tab bar.)
