They just replaced konqueror with dolphin for file management. Konqueror is still for web browsing

  Yes, but what i liked back then was how integrated it felt. Opening any html file opened inside Konqueror, opening a folder with an index.html file showed the page (with a toolbar button to toggle it), back/forward buttons worked seamlessly, being able to drag-and-drop files seamlessly, etc. Not even Win98/ME (which introduced those features) felt that integrated.

    Well, you're in luck because it is still there

      It isn't part of KDE/Plasma ever since KDE4 AFAIK. It is "there" in the sense that you can find it in KDE's website and some distributions provide it, but it isn't the KDE file/web/whatever manager anymore. Also the functionality i described above doesn't exist anymore in current Konqueror - doubleclicking on an .html file doesn't open it inside Konqueror (not even selecting "open in tab" does - even though it does open an empty tab that does nothing :-P), it opens it in Firefox (or whatever browser you have installed i guess). Index.html in folders is not handled anymore and the option to toggle/enable it is also gone. This is from a quick test i just did with Konqueror available from openSUSE Tumbleweed's repository right now. Also it crashed twice and the settings window had some missing icons and other weird glitches, both of which basically show that it barely receives any attention nowadays.

    And not just that, Konqueror (still) handles a lot of protocols. man://foobar will show you the man page for foobar with links to other man pages actually working. smb:// will browse a samba share. fish:// and sftp:// for remote ssh access. It really felt like a perfectly integrated everything viewer.
