            Yep, thanks.

            I discovered that I am not the only one asking for it 🙂

            As said, it would be nice to have this as an option only: I also noticed other users prefer to have tabs opened in the background, so they can read the stuff later.

            Ah well...

              @mopw69 yes its clunky having to use an extension I agree a simple option for it is all thats needed.

                  With this extension you can choose for foreground.

                  (In options).

                    Thanks to all for the feedback.
                    (Sorry for the delay)

                    BTW...,
                    I noticed that Opera on Android, when selecting 'open link in tab', does show the tab in the foreground...
                    For Opera for Windows, for the same habit, one needs a workaround.
                    Anyway, thanks again.

                    (I'll submit a feature request - in case such request has not yet submitted in the past)

                        @Ceedee Thank you for the link. I had to uninstall Opera and remove all data and settings due to malware and couldn't remember how I had gotten new tabs in the foreground.
