| Opening links in new tab - bring to front | DreamGuy | 09/08/05 20:27 | One thing I miss in Chrome that I liked lots with Firefox was that when you open a link in a new tab it would be switched to right away without extra clicks. Is there a way to make this happen in Chrome? I can open links in a new tab but I have to ma |

| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | DreamGuy | 09/08/05 20:47 | Yea I knew about the keyboard shortcuts but in Firefox you can set this option as a default...ie: when I open an link in a new tab switch to it immediately. I'm very used to that feature and have been a years long Firefox user so I do miss it lots. |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | calebegg | 09/08/05 22:38 | It's not possible in Chrome currently. Sorry. If the link is written to open a new window normally then it will open in a new (active) tab when you click on it. The dev builds recently tried switching this behavior experimentally, and everyone compl |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | DreamGuy | 09/08/06 0:23 | Dumbfounded that others would not like or use this feature...maybe they did not like it set as a default or something? If it was an option for right clicked links I'd be very happy. For me it makes sense because when I right click on a link as an ope |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | jonathan.wade | 09/12/28 9:34 | I also found this very annoying, as I use tabs a lot when I know I'm going to want to return to the previous page. So it looks like Command + Shift when clicking on a link bring the new tab to the front. Too bad there is not a user preference setting |

| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | lunatoons | 10/01/16 11:19 | In Firefox it is an option... How about doing an experiment with the feature as an option? It is very useful... If one is opening a new tab, it seems like the intent is to see it immediately. |

| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | jsb5717 | 10/07/26 7:47 | I don't know about everyone else, but there's no way I'm going to even try to remember all of those keyboard shortcuts. For me the reality is that if the functionality is possible via keyboard shortcut, it should be available as a default option. A |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | Xieon | 10/09/05 14:18 | Chrome currently has "tabs to the front". Is there anyway to disable this feature so when a new tab is opened, say via "open link in new tab", it stays on the current page, and a new tab loads in the back? |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | saabman | 10/09/06 3:06 | If you want a new tab to open to the front there are two ways of doing it. Using your left mouse button, drag and drop the link onto an empty space on the tab bar. Or, hold down the Ctrl + Shift keys and left click on the link. Both of these methods |
| Re: Opening links in new tab - bring to front | Xieon | 10/09/06 10:37 | @Saabman: My tabs were automatically going to the front, not that I wanted them to, infact I didn't want them to. I'm running the dev version of chrome 7beta, and there is an extension installed called "tabs to the front". I disabled it and now tabs |
