On slow sites I use to open 10 to 20 links in a new tab. 

But to do that, I have to switch back each time I opened a new tab to the main
page (after finding it first between the other 11 just opened "tabs". 

It would be nice if there would be a setting in Preferences called "Keep focus
on main page when opening a new tab".
That way i could first quickly open all the pages I want to read in one go.
Without going back eacht time to the main page (index).

That option already exists for years.

Edit->preferences->Tabbed browsing->Load links in the background
