Bug Description

Webbrowser currently closes the whole application when last tab is gone. This is rather disturbing as a default behavior. It might be OK for mobile, but for desktop it is very foreign from the way that apps usually work.

This is by design, and consistent with what other desktop browsers do (chromium, firefox).
