   "To open a link in a new browser tab and immediately switch to it,
    meanwhile, hold the Shift key while you middle-click the link.

    (If you're more of a one-hand-on-the-keyboard kind of person, you
     can also do this with the good ol' left mouse button. Just hold down
     the Ctrl key while you left-click a link to open it in a new tab.)"

In Win11, mine has the focus on the new tab, after clicking via middle-mouse.

If I do ctrl-middle-mouse, a new File Explorer opens and it has focus.
