HSLinkDrag

Open links, images and selected text in a new tab by click & drag – the drag direction decides foreground or background.

Open links, images, SVG graphics and selected text in a new tab with a short mouse movement. How it works: press the mouse button on an element, drag a little to the right or left, release. • Drag right: new tab in the foreground • Drag left: new tab in the background – you stay on the page (both directions configurable, including "do nothing") FEATURES • Open links – including links in SVG graphics and embedded frames • Open images and SVG graphics, even when they are not linked • Linked images: SHIFT on release decides whether the link or the image opens • Drag selected text to search with Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing or Chrome's default search engine • If the selected text is a web address (e.g. "www.example.com"), it is opened directly • Email links and selected email addresses open your email client • New tab position: right or left of the current tab, or at the end • Several tabs line up in the order you opened them and stay in the tab group • A hint next to the mouse pointer shows what will happen on release • Press ESC while dragging to cancel • Adjustable minimum distance – no accidental opening • Exclusion list for websites with their own drag & drop • Turn on/off with one click on the toolbar icon • Input fields are left alone: dragging text into search boxes works as usual PRIVACY HSLinkDrag collects no data, has no ads or tracking and loads no remote code.
