Ha, different strokes for different folks I guess.

Usually when I'm reading something, my hands are off the keyboard and I use one hand to scroll with the mouse. In this scenario, it's so much easier to double-click to select a word and drag it to a new tab instead of reaching for the keyboard.

I totally get that. I had to check what my muscle memory would do in that situation. (Apparently) I select text, right-click, and then choose "search for <selected phrase>" from the context menu.
