Adding a web link to desktop? Please help.

Hi, In older versions of OSX it was easy to drag and drop (or copy and paste) a web link onto the desktop or even into a folder within finder. I am using Big Sur now and that feature seems to be missing. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Mac mini, macOS 11.3

Adding a weblink to the desktop in Big Sur, or to any folder works as it always has


as a tip, do the procedure slowly:

click once to select the text in the address bar

click on the icon on the left of the text

drag to the desktop or folder
