Suggestion: Drag selected text to new tab to instantly search
-
Chrome has this feature but Vivaldi lacks it. Anyone use this at all or is there any alternatives?
-
Maybe I'm not understanding properly, but if the text is selected why drag instead of just right-click Search?

just right-click Search
So handy I use it all the time

The function is native to Google Chrome and could be intuitive to certain users. It's a slight UI/UX element, but isn't really necessary. Vivaldi already supports instant search if dragged to the address bar which could confuse a user if the other feature isn't available. -
That may explain why I was confused as I've only used Google Chrome for 1 day before abandoning it.
However, I don't remember this feature being mentioned before -

However, there are a lot of features being worked on by a small team of devs - so don't expect an implementation to be done "quickly". -
