DragIt!

DragIt!

Drag & drop links or selected text to open/search in new tab. Drag right for a new, focused tab. Drag left for a new, unfocused tab.

What is DragIt!?
DragIt! is a handy Chrome extension that allows you to quickly open links or search selected text in new tabs through easy drag-and-drop actions. The extension allows you to dictate how new tabs behave when you drop links or text. Dragging to the right opens links or searches in a focused tab, while dragging to the left does the same in an unfocused, background tab. The extension is regularly updated for bugfixes and improved usability.

This is a very useful tool and seems 'almost' perfect for me, but it seems there arised a bug that sometimes temporarily drag and drop doesn't work. That is, select some text and drag and drop for search, there's no response, but drag and drop again, then it works. This problem really is really annoying me. I hope this issue is fixed soon.
