Uh, how?.. It’s a conversation window with a contact list to the left, with GNOME-standard (libadwaita) look and feel. If you want separate conversation windows (like ICQ or Pidgin), then I understand the desire, but it’s pretty much orthogonal to web-view-ness (also very rare these days regardless of protocol).

Maybe Adwaita looks like that, I don't know. But there is a ton of whitespace, lots of clickable UI elements that look just like regular text, that kind of thing.
