Angel Boybiu (ID: 00000033e0998f65) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/11/2021 Love this extension, great job on making it. The only undesired function that i find irritating, is that the extension treats selected texts the same way as a link. When I select a text, and want to drag that text (intended or by accident), the page wiil redirect to the domain appended with the selected text as the URL query. Would love to see this behaviour fixed. Otherwise still a great extension, worth of 5 stars!

Alex (ID: 0000000128992e32) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2020 Perfection! Thank you for restoring the functionality that I had gotten used to in my work flow. I felt crippled after Google decided what was best for its users, without giving us any options.

Steve Martin (ID: 0000001d77cd8c19) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/09/2020 Absolutely wonderful extension! Pretty sad that extensions like this even have to be written though. Google needs to stop making arbitrary changes like this to the browser without making the change an OPTION that users can select for their way of working!!! Once again thanks to the author of this and I highly recommend it to those who like TRUE drag and drop functionality
