Details

This is a feature request for an option in the config screen that would allow
you to open a new tab without jumping to the newly opened tab.  

Described another way...

If this option were enabled, it would allow you to, say, CTRL-click on a link
and that linked page would open in the background in a new tab and you would
remain viewing the current tab.

Thanks!
This already works. Control-click on a link or middle-click will open the tab in
the background for the default settings. Perhaps you have overridden them with
extension ?

Okie...
id10t error.

I definitely find the wording "Select new tabs opened from links" unclear.

To me, that means "Open a new tab when a shortcut is opened from the 
desktop" ...or something along that lines.  It would be more clear if it were 
more like "Open new tabs in foreground"

Thanks anyway!
