Select text inside a link like Opera

Build Status

By installing this script, you can select text inside a link without dragging them around if the cursor was moved horizontally.

Installation

Greasy Fork

Compatibility

This script supports Firefox and Chrome. However, things become tricky in Firefox.

In Firefox, we can't detect the movement of the cursor after the mousedown event, so we actually use the movement before the mouse click. If you move the cursor vertically to a link, stop, then drag the link horizontally, the script will detect the movement as vertical and it won't prevent the link from being dragged.
