    Editorial Review

    The internet squeezed into the society a few decades ago. From being merely a platform for a few dozen pages, it has become one of the largest digital databases, in this fast paced technology controlled era. The internet is a big place, and no one is sure to find what they are looking for. Still, individuals, the digital warriors as well as the brick and mortar titans have availed the opportunity given by the internet, to show their online presence to the rest of the world. Only a bunch of different professions today do not demand an internet connection, to run their matters of business. The internet might seem like a dream come true for forward-moving companies, but for individuals, it can turn into a nightmare. Most people give up while searching for what they need. The internet needs to be scanned properly in order to get the best possible information. This has made surfing over the internet a daunting task. This is where Drag and Drop Zones can help you.

    The Drag and Drop Zones is an easy-to-use extension, which provides the users with an innovating and new way of surfing the internet. It helps you to drag a search engine, drop it in one of the drop zones and link them. After doing this, you can drag some text from any link and any website, which will eventually activate the drag and drop zones. After you have dropped the required text in one of the drop zones, you can search the internet in the way you use to. Above all, the Drag and Drop Zones is automatically assigned to all your Firefox tabs, when you are using this extension for the very first time.

    I would recommend this add-on to everyone, especially people who are looking for a new way to search for information, over the internet.
