As a part of my goal to create something weekly in 2020, I made Drag to download in Week 3.
Drag to download is a browser extension that allows you to drag a link from the browser unto your desktop to download.
It uses a little-known drag-and-drop feature in Chrome as described in this article. Unfortunately this feature works only in Chrome (tested on Windows).
Get it
You can try the extension by installing from the Chrome webstore.
View the source
The extension is open source and available on GitHub at https://github.com/JosephusPaye/drag-to-download. See the README for details on the design and how it works.
Contributions, questions, or feedback welcome!
