That is the way that it is supposed to work, as in Firefox, but currently under Linux at least you can only drag legitimate URLs to a new tab. Although you can drag a text-based address to the omnibar to replace the current tab.
You can also highlight any text and drag it to the omnibar to perform a google search, presumably this is also meant to work in a new tab the same way as Firefox. Drag-and-drop is such a clicksaver I will be sooo happy when this works again. 2009/10/28 dhhwai <[email protected]>: > > Have you tried selecting/highlighting the link that doesn't have the > <a> tag and then dragging the highlight into the tab strip (at the > top) ? > > When you drag to a blank area, it will open that link in a new tab. > > On Oct 27, 9:05 pm, norn <[email protected]> wrote: >> Problem: From time to time I see web links without <a> tag, so I can't >> click on it.
