Right, I'm not talking about finding unlinked URLs in web pages... I'm talking about applications... a dragging and dropping is not terribly fun in Windows applications.
I'm not saying that there is no other way to accomplish this task. Not at all. Here's the thing... copy a URL... then right-click in the address bar. See the two options? One is "paste"... the other is "paste and go". Why would they include "paste and go" when someone could just paste and then hit enter, or click the button to the right of the address bar? It's a very minor addition... but it's one that saves a step, so it seems worthwhile. It also doesn't take up any extra space in the "chrome" since it is just an addition to the context menu. So, likewise... I'm not suggestion an addition to the chrome... and I'm not suggesting that without this feature, the browser is broken. I can live without it, certainly. However, I could have also lived without the tabs being able to be dragged out into their own window. But, it IS a nice touch. I could have also lived without the "paste and go" choice... but it IS a nice touch. I'm also suggesting that if one could right-click on the "new tab" button and be able to paste a URL into that so that, in one step, it opens a new tab and visits the pasted URL within that new tab... that it would also be a nice touch.
