That’s an interesting suggestion, I’m adding an ubuntu-ux task to the
bug so that the design team can have a look and comment. Thanks Dario!

Good point. Maybe it only need a little blinking animation at the bottom
of the browser, where you see the number of the open tabs (see my awful-
five-minutes-attachment). And in the desktop view, the new background
tab could blink for a two seconds.
** Attachment added: "Blinking browser tabs"
Allowing popup windows to open in a foreground tab is probably not a good idea,
think aggressive advertising and phishing.
What we really need is a UI animation when a background tab is being open so
that the user knows it happened, and knows where to look for it. This is
partially related to
"On a phone, this would be the expected behaviour."
On a phone, I think it would be better if it opens a new tab (OK), and
your focus is on that new tab. I think it's better, because if you're on
your phone, and you click on the "twitter button", you can't immediatly
realize if your click was ok.
