Hi, i'm trying to read my feeds in akregator opening the ones i'm interested in the browser, open them all and then proceed to the browser to read them, but chrome keeps stealing akregator focus, i tried the per window and per application specific settings in the workaround tab to force extreme focus stealing on akregator, but the chrome keeps stealing the focus.
The only thing that works is to globally set focus stealing prevention to the max, but that messes with the whole desktop and is way more annoying.
Any tips on what should i do?

@gsiliceo: you can create a window specific rule just for chrome and set the focus stealing prevention to high for this app. It's a really annoying feature of most browsers and I am seriously considering fixing it in KWin for once and all.

Thanks it worked, i found the problem, in all my attempts i created many rules, i thought they override each other that you could have only one window rule per window, and i thought that you need to prevent akregator from getting its focus stolen it was getting chrome from stealing focus. It's not clear how does it work that option at first sight.
Thank you anyway, i researched a bit and it turns out its a chrome thing, there is a petition to change that behavior, we'll see if it gets done,
