Since IE11 I switched back (to IE)
But I have one remaining issue... 
From chrome I can drag an URL into a folder and voila, I got a link on disk!
From IE(11) I drag an URL to a folder and... I got some link vaguely related to the URL, but NOT the URL!
This is particularly frustrating with CodeProject! I want to save the article URL in the folder where I download the source, but I have to copy the URL, paste in Chrome, drag the URL from Chrome, so tedious.. 
Any idea on how to improve this workflow?

You do know that people are going to suggest the improvement is not to use IE don't you?

Haha, I know!
It's why I strongly specified that I was keen on it! ^^

Yeah use anything other than IE.

I see what you mean...just a shortcut, no URL, not even in the properties although the URL does show up on hover.  So, just let the shortcut do it's job. Clicking it still gets you where you want to go right?...and you get the nice favicon graphic to boot!

A shortcut.. to the home page!
I would like a shortcut to the page I was viewing please!!!
Worse thing, sometimes it does it! What's going on? I dunno!

You're a code-monk[ey], write an app!

mm.... Embed IE11 eleven in my own app (after all there is a WebView in WPF) and manage Links and Favorite the way I like?
Mm... you know what? You might be onto something!!

Create a folder called Whatever in your favorites. Find something you like, click Ctrl+D to save it as a favorite in that folder. Browse to C:\Users\YourUsername\Favorites\Whatever. Enjoy.

Good idea!

Never mind the story; love the design of the web site.

Then you're in the minority.
I had always been a fan of this site - until they changed it. And from what I can see, most people don't like it either.
The format is horrible. Giant pictures instead of links intermingles with relelvent photos. Also, damn near everything is a video - which means sitting through countless ads just to see some news.
Another thing - it's REALLY slow. It used to be a decent site, now sucks

How odd: don't see it like that and has plenty of snap on my browser.

One of the local radio personalities had a daily crazy news item from Florida. He called it the "Dong of the US". (Just look at a map.)

Florida, California, Texas; in that order, the three crazy states.

I would put CA first and FL second but that's because I lived in FL for 27 years.
I would agree TX is getting there, I was stopped on my way back to FL through TX and me and my vehicle searched for drugs because I have very long hair. The probable cause was my GPS, located under my mirror was distracting my view. I traveled 6K miles in one month through a dozen or more states and had no problems.

I still find it astounding that in a land with so many "freedoms", including police who can draw firearms and handcuff people to simply speak with them, that the police still lack a basic right to randomly intercept people without inventing some kind of "probable cause"... Fascinating on so many levels.
