    I think you can use it for side-scrolling or page-moving(???) or so.
    Somewhat exotic, I don’t think I know anyone who uses the middle button for anything other than the standard mouse-wheel vertical scrolling, which has nothing to do with pressing the middle button.

      Due to the way my browser is laid out I do need the scroll right-left, I miss a chunk of info on the right of some pages making me use the ity bity scroll bar at the bottom of the page. I did stop trying after my 3rd time in a month clicking the wheel now I just don’t do it. A toggle would be better than changing an action so many of you have ingrained, I can’t see myself ever getting used to this action as I prefer to hot key my way through copy/paste/etc. Don’t mess with the old guard to gain new users, you will only lose
