This is fairly established: Chrome uses the traditional tab style for its user-manipulatable tabs, while using a different style for non-manipulatable tabs. Firefox does the same, as well as Falkon. elementary on a platform level uses traditional tabs for manipulatable tabs and a different style for static tabs. macOS does the same thing. Using editable-style tabs when the tabs are non-editable is a misleading affordance, hence why this patch doesn't use them. I feel like this needs discussion rather than being presented as a truism. We use tabbed views for non-editable views all over the place throughout KDE software and to be honest I don't see a problem with it. If we're going to declare this to be a bad thing and move towards changing it, we need to first start that discussion, agree on it, and agree on a solution. Would you like to open the Phab patch for this?
