Full Version: [Suggestion] Open tab in foreground/background
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
In Cent Browser is implemented excellent management tabs, but not enough of one function - Open tab in foreground or in background.
This feature has in Extensions that manage tabs, for example: SimpleTabOrder (screenshot), Tab Nullpo+ (screenshot), Tab Position Customizer (attachment here, screenshot).

How does this work?

Open tab in foreground - when you middle click on link or from context menu "Open link in new tab" opens tab in foreground (by default, browser opens tab in background).

Open tab in background - by default, when you left click on link, browser opens tab in foreground, if link on page has attribute target=_blank. This option opens tab in background, for example, from search results baidu, yandex, etc., many users prefer to open multiple tabs in background.

If you implement this feature, users will get rid of excess Extension.

P.S. In Cent there is an option that opens always new tab when you click a hyperlink, but it does not work properly when you need to open a link in current tab (eg. link with anchor), and creates a duplicate of current tab, or in some cases, can create unnecessary blank tab.
With proposed function of this problem is not present.
Nice suggestion.
But we have a better idea already, that is super drag enhancement.
For example, You can drag to left to open tab in foreground, drag to right to open tab in background.
We are working on this feature now.
PSTongueressing SHIFT key can also shift foreground and background tabs(almost in all cases).

Nice idea!
Many users will be glad of this function, but I have not got used to super drag Blush
I also use user script to selection part of link. So, for me personally, left/right will not do. Up/down only.

Yes, I know about Shift/Ctrl, but it's additional movement... and we are lazy Biggrin
