Prevent unintentional scrolling while dragging in Safari
Drag-and-drop into the tab bar isn't something I use all the time, but there are some cases where it really does come in handy, and the lack of a delay has been pretty annoying for me.
Here's an example. Sometimes on forums people will post a link without bothering to make it a link, like this: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn/tn1031.html (I had to post in HTML mode to get this too-clever forum software not to auto-link it :-) ) Frequently I want to check out their link, but not immediately--I want to open it in a new tab but not switch to that tab. If you limit yourself to what you can do with cmd-click or ctrl-click, you have to do something like this: 1) Select the URL and hit cmd-C to copy it 2) Create a new tab 3) Paste the URL in and hit Return 4) Switch back to your previous tab With the power of drag and drop, all you have to do is: 1) Select the URL and then hold the mouse button down long enough that Safari knows you want to drag it 2) Hold down the Shift key and drag it onto the space to the right of the rightmost tab, or, if you have a lot of tabs, onto the ">>" symbol Now the URL has been opened in a new tab but you haven't been taken away from the page you were reading. It's pretty handy!
