Do you use the middle mouse button?

[Lonyo]

Or in any other web broswer.
A review of Opera9/FF2/IE7 said the middle mouse button for tabs was not used by many people.
I use middle mouse every other click at least, either for tabs or scrolling.

One peeve: Why isn't there still a one-click button (by default) for adding a new tab? You can use the middle mouse button if you know about it?and if your mouse has one (laptop users need not apply)?on new links, but sometimes you want a new empty tab, which in Firefox requires going through menus, or double clicking on the empty space to the right of the last tab (if you knew about that?usability is about making needed features obvious).

Well, I don't have a middle button since I use a touchpad.

I didn't, I got FF, now I do. All the time.

I don't have a middle mouse button, so no.

 

[Furyline]

I use it all the time in Opera

Are you talking about the scroll button? Hell I use it all day long!

I never press it so that the circle comes up on my screen though.

Scroll button here also!
Rarely though, do I use the "Press & Drag" feature.

I use it frequently in Firefox.

I also use my side buttons on my intellimouse explorer like crazy when browsing... I'd be lost w/out it.

I used it with my old mouse, but ever since I got my g7, I can't.

The tilt wheel makes it too hard to press down on the middle button without tilting the scroller (which accidently forces the back command).

To remedy this problem, I made the side button as my middle button.

So... does that technically qualify as using the middle mouse button or not?
