Please don’t tell me to set any dconf settings. I’ve already tried all of them and they do jack shit.
I’m on Debian in 12, which has GNOME 43. I never want Windows to steal focus for any reason. Is there an extension or something that can do this?

I think you need to use Wayland, focus stealing protection set to strict, and no Xwayland apps. Xwayland apps can bypass the focus stealing protection.
Also incorrect. Wayland apps still steal focus.
Did you set focus stealing protection to strict? And verify the applikation isn’t running through xwayland?
Yes. Should I restart my shell? Disable Xwayland temporarily
As far as I’m aware, Wayland apps can only “steal” focus by going through the proper channel, the xdg activation protocol.
Or maybe it’s a bug with Gnome 43?
That’s still stealing focus. I want it to literally never happen.
And it doesn’t do it properly for me either. Starting from the command line with a delay (how I test it) still steals focus when I’m focused on a completely different application.
