    ...aaaaaand two of my favorite extensions STILL don't work! yay!

    Oh freakin' awesome. I'm glad I was a smartass, because otherwise I wouldn't've gone and looked again. I've looked so many times I'd just given up. Turns out Download Manager Tweak .6.6 just couldn't find any updates - there's already .7.1. HUZZAH.

    Also, Super Drag And Go is "hackable" to work right. REJOICE.

    Oh wow. Wowee wow. I totally missed dragging links to open new tabs. Such a relief.

    I can do that without any extensions. Or maybe I misunderstand what the extension is doing.

    This will let you drag a link. Like, if there's a link on this page that I want to open in a new tab, I can click, drag, let go. It's basically just a quicker way of right clicking "open in new tab".

    You know you can middle-click on a link to open it in a new tab. Or hold CTRL and click. Or, get the Linkification extension.

    you can do this by dragging the link to the tabbar with no extensions.

    But it also let you highlight a word or phrase, drag it somewhere and then it would open search for it in google or whatever your search engine is...
