I'm sorry: Safari 5 should be FAIL as well. Using 'Open With > [Browser]'
works for all of them, but none do drag & drop correctly.

I just checked, and this is still not handled correctly.

If you try to drop the alias onto the tab bar, the drop isn't accepted
there. Ideally, it should work the same as dropping the actual html file.

If you try to drop the alias onto the web content area, Chrome tries to
download it. Ideally, it should also work the same as dropping the actual
html file.
