    I want an option only found in Firefox.
    That is, in Firefox, in the Options you can choose to Switch to the New Tab Immediately.
    That way, when you're on a web page and you right click on a link or URL and chose 'Open Link In New Tab', the New Tab is open for you and you're transfered to the link you chose. That saves a mouse click and gives an uninterrupted flow of operation.

    Alternatives are:

    • Hold down ctrl and shift and left-click.

    • Drag up on the link and drag it to the tab bar.

    • Drag down on the link with the right mouse button.

    • Install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/ and in its options, select "Focus the new tab" under the "When opening a link in a new tab" section.
