Sometimes, when I open a page and quickly click to another tab, that page will load in that tab instead; how can I stop this?

This is so irritating! I like to fast browse! If a page is loading on one tab and I'm reading the tap next to it, I don't want the loading page to take over the tab I'm currently looking at. I hope this makes sense.

A new tab will always open at the end of the current open tabs. In order to load a tab in the background try to right click and select "Open in new tab" (Note you may need to turn off the Tab preference that switches to it immediately)
