Users of Opera Browser (and perhaps other chrome-engine browsers?) -- Can't drag a URL? [View all]

I am using Opera a lot, especially since the wise-asses at Mozilla slipped in an update (which they later withdrew after an internet uproar) showing ads for some Mozilla service. This is a giant no-no in open source, and I don't trust them.

One thing that Opera wouldn't do was let me drag a URL, in particular, to a "webloc" file, so I could go back to the link later, without either bookmarking it (I have too many bookmarks already) nor putting it in speed-dial.

And files are easier to deal with than the other options.

This turned up, and hits the spot.



It takes some practice, clicking, holding and dragging upward, and then anywhere you want, but this saved me time today, and will do so going forward.
