At the very least you need the ability to show the browser when you send a link to it. And if that overlaps the window you were clicking the link in, then it'll now be under the mouse. Are you happy with that indirect focus steal? If not, I don't think there's a way to align your preferences with the average user.

That's a situation where the focus doesn't need stolen at all, the focus could be delegated by the active window itself.

Yes that's being included under "stolen" in this conversation, at least how I'm interpreting it. Done without explicit user action.
