I use tabs in firefox as my todo-list (with extra addons to make sure I

This is clear abuse of the web browser, not the common usage pattern. I'm
surprised that ANY browser supports that kind of abuse. (Especially Firefox
used to get criticized for excessive memory requirements by people like you
opening hundreds of tabs.) I don't think this should be a requirement for
our default browser.

I agree that so many tabs is not an usual use case. I mentioned it just to note that even if you abuse firefox, it works. On the other hand, fifty tabs is not that much, yet rekonq (and qupzilla) both used a lot of memory and crashed.

Anyway, I just voiced my opinion that people won't be happy with konqueror nor rekonq. All (mostly Fedora) KDE users I know use Firefox or Chrome. I personally do not know anyone happy with how konqueror or rekonq work. I will continue to use firefox. I will not (co)maintain any of the mentioned browsers. You will, so you decide. I just wrote to let you know what me and other present consumers of KDE SIG's work think and use (at least those I know, some may think differently).
