Just realised how I navigate websites.

I left click on a link to follow it through. If I want to go back (such as in a forum) I tend to right click and left click and that takes me back right click brings up the context menu, as im using a trackball that means a slight nudge with my thumb and im over the "back" item and a left click means the page goes back.

It also means that Ive just noticed how fecking annoying "anti-right click" javascript crap is... means I cant navigate through sites how Id like and I have to instead either hit backspace, or get my pointer to the top left corner.

Bloody novice web designers.

How do you navigate the WWW?

doesnt your wheel click??

Mine does but its broken, so I set up middle button emulation using both right and left buttons at the same time. Doesnt work for windows tho.

Love Linuxs highlight copy into buffer and middle click paste, soooo much easier than other OSs.

Mouse gestures for the win tbh

Use right click a lot, middle to close or doubleclick

Opera mouse gestures

Two buttons is soo last century. Get with the times

Five buttons FTW!

Yup easiest way by far, none of this right click back lark.

Course it does help if your mouse has 5 buttons...

Same here except its the a Logitech MX Laser (also got a application swiching button... but i havent enable it )

If I hold the RMB and click the left RMB, firefox goes back.  Dunno whether thats part of All-in-one gestures or whether its standard, but it comes in handy.  Doing it the other way round goes forward.

Or I use the standard gestures.  Or the back/forward buttons on my MX700.
