      On Mac, if I Command click a link to open that link in a new Tab, I am not taken to the new Tab but on still on the page I clicked the link on, I have to go to Tab bar and clock this new Tab. Extra steps.

      Anyway to have this new Tab be the active window?

        Install this extension:
        https://addons.opera.com/pl/extensions/details/classic-tabs/?display=en&reports
        Enable: 'When opening a link in a new tab - Focus the new tab' (in the extension preferences)

          On Safari (Mac) you use "Command + Click" to open a link in a new tab in the foreground, like you mentioned; in Opera you can use " Shift+Command+Click" for the same behaviour!
