Screenshot of Falkon UI with issues highlighted.

SUMMARY
Unlike virtually all other KDE applications, Falkon has not yet undergone the
Plasma 6 redesign (fewer frames, more consistent spacing, etc.). You can notice
this in the additional vertical line between the URL and search bar, weird
rendering of the tab bar, and the titlebar being visually separate from the
window (see attached screenshot). This makes Falkon look old and out-of-date,
and I wouldn't be surprised if this in turn makes people assume Falkon's engine
is old too, even though it of course isn't.

This probably also covers Falkon using a non-standard toolbar that's different
from every other toolbar in KDE (see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427620), the non-standard (old?) blue
gradient sidebar in the bookmarks manager, and probably a few other nooks and
crannies.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this as a "bug" or "request",
because I assume this isn't exactly news to you lovely KDE developers. Still, I
can't find any reference to Falkon getting a Plasma 6 makeover, so I figured
I'd make a report.
