Question

I’m currently writing an extension for Chrome (the way you can integrate jQuery etc is pretty awesome, just like greasemonkey) however I have stumbled upon a problem:

I would like to open a page in a new tab without actually focusing that tab (so stay on the same page)

Thanks!

Answer 1

chrome.tabs.create({url: "http://...", selected: false});

If you need this in a content script where Chrome Tab API isn’t available, you need to send a request to a background page.
