I would probably use Microb more if "Open link in new window" opened the window in the background.

It's either a CSSU/thumb option (or HildonDesktop), or I set it by typing about:config in the MicroB address bar. I can't find it now, though. Sorry...
BE CAREFUL with about:config. If you don't know what you're doing, STOP.
Edit: Well, I rechecked my MicroB, and it doesn't open new tabs in the background anymore. But I SWEAR I had that going recently (I reflashed about a week ago...)

One disadvantage of microb, at least for me, is that it doesn't handle USB mouse clicks; I can point but I can't click. Opera can handle that, as can Chromium (under Estel's Easy Debian).
EDIT microb doesn't handle clicks on the links, but clicking on the buttons in the browser interface, e.g. the back button, works. One exception is the maximize button in the lower right corner, that still needs a fingerstylus tap unless the address bar is visible.

My MicroB is opening new window on foreground (tested with just flashed device). And I hate it that way.

Yeah. Problem is that the internally tested patch was never shipped to end
users as it did not work reliably.
Plus as this part of the browser is closed source there won't be much more
happening either by any party.

Having more than browser (microb and Opera in my case) has helped me in situations where one or the other would not correctly show the Wifi authorization page (e.g. microb says "data transfer interrupted). I haven't looked into why that happens; meanwhile I just fire up the alternative browser and it works.
