  What part of "Are you sure you want to quit" Yes/No you find ambiguous?

  This has nothing to do with "this window", it's about the application itself being closed.

  Why is warning better? IMO Warning is for "you better pay attention answering here because if not something will be very wrong", nothing will happen if you answer wrong that question, worse case scenario you have to reopen some files.
  
  > - Standard do-not-ask-again message instead of custom message (also, "when closing more than one tab" does not correspond directly to the "quit" action the user initiated and thus might be confusing, as you cannot close e.g. 4 out of 5 tabs).
  
  Do not ask again is not what you want. Because if you say "No" and "Do not ask again" suddently you're fucked and you can't quit. That's why firefox wording that i copied is much better

  You press esc and then Ctrl+W ;)

  Sorry i don't see any major benefit in Dolphin's dialog.

  No, but that doesn't have anything to do with this, we have multiple "don't ask me again" already, so this can't be a blocker. You're welcome to implement that.
