I thought I already suggested something like this ages ago. Anyways...
Chrome has these "toast" popups for when you copy a link or add a page to reading list.
What I like about this is that you get confirmation/feedback that the browser has done what you asked. It would be especially handy when opening a link in a new tab - if you have too many tabs open you can't really tell if a new one actually opened. Firefox for Android actually does this well!
