I am unable to use any Chrome/Chromium based browser due to one stupid and trivial characteristic. When you spawn a new session of Chrome/Chromium the resulting window/tab steals focus. That means that if you do so from some sort of terminal based program you are pointlessly left sitting there with the cursor still in the terminal window but with the focus on the browser window. If you were hoping to spawn more than one new browser session (say from a RSS reader), well, you are not doing that.
Firefox has an obscure option that can be used to turn off this obnoxious behaviour. So I must use Firefox.

At least on Windows there's a Win32 API to change window focus: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10898560/how-to-set-focus-to-another-window https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10898560/how-to-set-focu...
