It's a shame that this extension disables the function to copy and paste the text when I drag any text link and drop into text input areas such as Web-browser's search area. It forces to open the link at that situation.

Very good plugin, do the intented job. A recommendation would be to add as option the posibility to do not "switch" to the next link and leave the new tab not selected. A nice to have
