Open a new tab with javascript but stay on current tab using javascript

html, javascript, tabs

Solution

As confirmed in both: source1 source2

there isn't a function that works throughout all browsers. There are options for popups, but this isn't a good idea as many use popup blockers.

To reiterate the first source, it's a browser setting for each user to decide to open a new tab in the background, or not. And because users decide this in their browser settings you will get inconsistent experiences.

Problem

Is it possible to open a new tab in browser using the `window.open("http://www.google.com");` function, but open it in the background and remain on the current page? When i Click in hyperlink the page will same but link will open in new tab... I try this solution but it work only in Firefox link but I want to do in all browsers.
