Drag links in Safari to view target URLs Web Browsers
Kind of related to the Safari status bar note earlier (and maybe why it can be disabled by default), when you click and drag on a link in Safari, a new info popup appears that contains the name of the link and the target URL ... and it follows the link as you drag it around!

[Editor's note: A very nice touch, and and easy way to see the URL if you don't want the Status Bar visible.]

You can store these dragged links as bookmarks in a Finder folder. Add the finder folder to the Dock. Then all of these links are located like bookmarks in the Dock. You can then click on them or drag them to the address bar from the finder folder. You can drag any link from a site to the address bar and it is automatically loaded. You can also drag pictures from a web site directly to your finder. Just click/hold a pic and drag it over to your finder folder. It automatically downloads the image for you. Just one more neat thing in case it has not been mentioned yet.

Best.

When dragging links from the finder you don't have to drop them on the address bar. Just drag and drop on the open browser window and viola!
