I find that more webpages are blocking drag n drop links - is there a tool to prevent this behavior?

[hal]

I've always liked large monitors so I can read one webpage while another loads. But I find that more webpages do nothing at all when a link is dragged and dropped to that page.

Is there some way to counter this behavior?

They probably aren't links in the traditional sense. In which case, no. They require a click.

I've run into this on occasion, and they do appear as full links. They just won't "stick" when dragged as bookmarks.

I notice this because I've mostly given up on browser bookmarks, aside from a standard set of most frequently visited sites; for others, I keep the pages I want to retain for reference on projects as .webloc/.url files in the folders along with the other docs.

Just as an aside, hal, consider using the 'open in tabs' functionality of bookmark folders to load a whole set of URLs at once.

Also, use command-click on links that catch your eye to open tabs in the background.

Using those two techniques means I never have to wait for a page to load.
