Washington, December 20 (QNA) - Microsoft is adding a super drag and drop feature to the Edge browser. This new feature makes it easier to open links in new tabs by adding a small gesture you can activate within the browser.

With Super Drag and Drop enabled you now have another option. You can now hold down the left mouse button on a link and drag it a little bit in any direction. Once you let go, Microsoft Edge will detect this motion and automatically open a new tab with whatever you dragged.

If you perform the same motion with highlighted text or an image, it will search for it with your chosen default search engine.

The change allows you to save a few clicks by dragging and dropping a link with your mouse. It makes opening new tabs for further research a lot easier than right-clicking or dragging to the address bar.

Unlike mouse gestures, the new 'super drag and drop' feature in the Microsoft Edge browser does not allow setting up a list of exceptions for websites, it only allows switching to open tabs in the background while remaining on the current page or moving to a new page. (QNA)
