In online browsing, clicking on the link seems simple, but in fact it contains many skills. This article reveals the little-known link opening method in Google Chrome browser - drag and drop links. This technique can effectively improve the efficiency of multi-tab management, especially for users who are used to opening a large number of tabs at the same time, it can be regarded as an efficiency tool.

What is the use of drag and drop links?

Usually, clicking on the link will open on the current tab or on the new tab (located to the right of the current tab). Right-click to choose to open in a new window or invisible window. But this can cause confusing tab order when managing many tabs. The drag-and-drop link function perfectly solves this problem, allowing you to freely control the location of the tab page.

Computer drag and drop link operation guide

Windows and macOS users will benefit a lot, because the computer operation is more convenient than the mobile phone. Simply click and hold the target link and drag it to the top of the browser window. At this point, a semi-transparent link preview will appear, and a green plus icon will appear. Drag the preview to the target position and the white arrow indicates where the new tab page is opened. Release the mouse to complete the operation.

Unsure about the content of the tab page? Hover for a moment to preview. While dragging the link, you can view the contents of each tab page at any time. If you drag and drop a link to a non-text editing tab (such as Google Docs), the new tab opens to the right. You can also directly drag and drop the link to the address bar (which Google calls omnibox) and press Enter key to replace the current tab.

Tip: If you cannot drag the link, right-click the link and select "Copy link address". Make sure it's a real link - drag and drop plain text will only do Google searches.

Mobile drag and drop link operation guide

Unfortunately, Android phones do not support this feature yet (at least we have not found a way yet). But iPhone users (including Safari browser) can use this feature.

Long press the link, after the pop-up menu appears, continue to drag, and the link will become a floating preview with a green plus icon. (Occasionally, it may not be successful, close and re-open Chrome to resolve). Then, click the top address bar with another finger to open the Chrome menu option. Keep holding the link and click on the tab list icon at the bottom of the screen with another finger. This will display all open tabs, you can drag and drop the link anywhere, including the Invisible tabs or other devices.
