Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Lovely extension, one query: Is there a way to open several links on a page in private tabs without being immediately taken to each one? I'd like to stay on the page while I open several links, then browse to those I've selected.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.1.7.1-signed). 

By default Private Tab respects browser behavior: browser.tabs.loadInBackground (Options – Tabs – When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately) or browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (for bookmarks) from about:config page.
Or you can change extensions.privateTab.loadInBackground, see
