Chromium was completely missing open-url-from-primary-selection-on-middle-click functionality. After some discussion they've implemented it when middle-clicking on ”new tab” button. It's half the fix – paste target was reduced from whole page into small button.

I'm slightly irked that middle click does *nothing* on ambient page content in Chromium, but I've used scroll wheels for long enough to know I don't want it to behave like a misclick in a shell window. It's one of the antifeatures I immediately turn off in other *nix browsers.

You should probably get a decent mouse that doesn't confuse the scroll wheel with the paste button. Unfortunately, those can be a bit hard (or expensive) to get these days. Still, worth every penny IMHO.

Well now that you mention it, I could swap mouse3 with the mouse4/5 side buttons on this one... but browsers hardcode *those* to unload-this-page actions too. Maybe I'd be better off with a USB touchpad.
