[citation][nom]smuggl3r[/nom]I tried to switch from Firefox to Chrome, but I went back to Firefox. The reason: when I open a link in a new tab in firefox there is an option so that it will get focus automatically. In Chrome I can't do this. I have to click again on the tab I just opened. I clicked on the f***** link so that I can view it, not to hide it. Is it really that hard to understand, google?[/citation]
Though I can totally understand your opinion and I think it is completely valid, I personally prefer when a page doesn't switch automatically.
My reason being that I often pull up a page with multiple links, like Tom's Hardware's main page, and find multiple links I want to read about.
If my browser immediately shifted to the page I just opened, I would have to continually click back to Tom's Hardware, open the next link I want to read about, go back, and repeat just to have a backlog of tabs to read.
This is partly because my computer can handle many tabs though so individual mileage may vary.
