Drag n Go : Open Links In New Tab By Simply Dragging

Now Open New Tabs in Background By Dragging/Dropping

I was looking forward to a kind of extension whereby i can open links in the on a page in a new tab in background and without having to right-click and then selecting “Open in New Tab“. Ofcourse, we can always open links in new tab by pressing Ctrl + Left Clicking on the link to open in the background but hey that also requires both your hands right?

Today, most of my problems were solved by the release of a new extension on our forum called “Drag n Go” by no2song. Its a very small handy little plugin but is very useful especially if you like to open a lot of links on a page without getting disturbed by links opening on top of the page you are browsing.
