Mac: “Open web pages in background in browser” no longer works in 7.0.1

[vdxz]

I have “Open web pages in background in browser” enabled in the settings. It used to work, but after updating to version 7.0.1 it suddenly stopped working. Links are now always opened in the foreground, with the browser window being activated instead of staying in NetNewsWire.

macOS 26.3.1

Are you using Chrome or a Chromium browser? It’s a bug in those browsers, unfortunately.
