The addition of the visual mode is the best idea that could happen to Vimium. However, since the last update of Chromium (Version 41.0.2272.76 Ubuntu 14.10 (64-bit)) the command for opening a new tab in the background is not working any more. So that both openNewTab and openNewForegroundTab have the same effect. Would that be related to vimium?

I wish it is merged to the upstream branch

Why haven't they merged this to the main branch?
