Open new tabs in background by default
-
@UtkarshVerma Vote for the existing feature request.
Maybe you mean the Open Link in New Background Tab item on the menu.
Allow Editing of Menus is still far away.
There is currently no option but to use one of the many suggested workarounds.
This is one of the FAQ
- Right-click, Open in New Background Tab
- Ctrl+click
- Middle-click
- Mouse Gesture, Open Link in Background Tab (Over a Link)

@Pesala Ok, I'll upvote in the meantime. However, I think I'd switch back to my old browser until this is implemented.
I still don't expect much because those requests are ancient if you ask me

Allow Editing of Menus is now done, but Allow Editing of Context Menus is not done yet.

How is this not implemented yet? Just HOW?
It is the default of other browsers. Why make it different and not even give an option to change when you have so many useless options implemented already compared to this one... -

Read the Feature Request Thread from page one, especially the reply from the Community Manager that I quoted, and you might understand. It is now tagged as Pipeline, which means that is planned, but not currently being worked on.
With nearly 2,900 feature requests, and a small team, those needed by few users or difficult to implement may have to wait for a long time. Wherever you see that a feature is tagged as In Progress, it may get done this year rather than next.

How about the other browsers being wrong? many people prefer to open link in foreground as default. You already have multiple ways to open tabs in background. It's not that you can't. Just learn how THIS browser works.

If I right-click a link, the item at the top of the context menu is "Open link in new tab".

you are making this quote up, I never wrote that in this thread.
If I right-click a link, the item at the top of the context menu is "Open link in new tab".
I don't see what this has anything to do with what I actually wrote.

That’s an exciting development.

In Opera 12.18, the default for the link context menu is:
- Open Link (reuse current unless the target is new window)
- Open in New Tab
- Open in Background Tab
- Open in New Window
- Open in Background Window
I customised the menu to remove the first item because it just duplicates what happens with Left Click.
I removed the Open in New Window items, because I rarely open new windows
I added an item to open links in a Private Tab
I added a series of items to open the link in other browsers: -
