      Hello all!
      Please add option of drag-and-drop links by hovering them horizontally to new tab w/o selecting text

      As an avid Chrome user since the earliest age (I'm 23 now) the only thing that keeps me from fully switching to Opera is the annoying hyperlink text selection when I pull it horizontally over to new tab.

      Maybe it's tad naive from my side to request something that may seem insignificant to veteran Opera users - but trust me: no matter how hard I try I am unable to un-learn that essential web-browsing gesture the way I've been doing it since forever.

      Since Opera is Chromium-based I think adding the option I'm requesting in /flags section or general settings menu in order to offers its users even more customization wouldn't be that much of a hassle for programmers.

      Thanks for hearing me out !! 🌹

          @vmic446 Do we really need this feature?
          I mean, you can just select the address of the website and click "Visit website" or whatever its called in english.

          Thats my opinion, but I like selecting the address alot better.

            Yes please, I do need this feature. It's complicated to speak from "we" point of view, but I'm certain many would find transitioning from Chrome light years easier with this simple "choose your preference"-kind of option.
            Programmers would literally need less than a minute to implement it since Opera is Chromium-based itself as I already had mentioned.

            Tl;sr I want to be able to drag links horizontally, vertically etc. without selecting text in the link. Like in Google Chrome @juniorwmg
