Chrome Testing Drag-and-Drop Link Opening in Same Tab
Google is reportedly testing a significant change to Chrome’s drag-and-drop behavior that would allow users to open links directly in existing tabs. The feature, currently available in Chrome Canary, addresses long-standing user workflow frustrations with tab management. This development comes alongside other Chrome improvements including enhanced audio recording capabilities and security warnings.
Google appears to be addressing one of Chrome’s longstanding user experience quirks with a new experimental feature that could fundamentally change how people navigate the web. According to testing observed in Chrome’s development channels, the browser may soon let users drag links directly into existing tabs to open them in the same window space.
