None of those do anything for me on this page.

Wat. How do you select links?

How does that even work
You mean you don't use your mouse to scroll up and down? If you're going to tell me that you use tab to select links etc. then you are a nutter.

Yep. The multi-touch trackpad is one of my favourite things about switching to OS X.
I'm on Windows w/Chrome. What are you using??
This is actually a great idea. I don't have mousewheel tilt though.
I will never use a browser without the FireGestures addon.
Hold right mouse button + scrollwheel to navigate between tabs.
Hold right and press left to close tab. Left then right to open a tab I closed accidentally.
And then I have gestures to go back, forward, Home, End, reload, minimize, history, open options, and I do like squares for specific sites, with each additional line taking me to a different site (like Up Right Down to the first site, URDL to a second, URDLU to another, and so on.).
Keyboard seems archaic and doesn't have the precise control of a scrollwheel, and requires two hands for a lot of the shortcuts.

Gestures is fantastic. I used to use them all the time but uninstalled the extension once when it was running like shit. I should get it back.
And Home and End buttons are amazing. I don't know why so few people use them. I hate watching people slowly scroll to the bottom of a long page when they could just hit one button.

How do you click links?

It should move up the page (as opposed to just spacebar which goes down [or at least that's what it does for me*]). If you attempted it at the top of the page, that's why it didn't appear to do anything. If you weren't at the top of the page and it didn't do anything I'm unsure as to the cause.
EDIT: *on Firefox if that has an affect.
Well, I mean browsing a page, not navigating links. Still clickin' those.

I had a terrible experience with that. It's like a gimped touchscreen, it's not even a mouse to me.

I thought you were gonna say that you use a controller to browse the internet because I use it sometimes too. When I want to be far from my computer and browse the net or my hand gets tired from using the mouse a controller is a good substitute.

I never use a mouse anymore either....
...Because I use a Magic Trackpad on my Macs exclusively (Even for games) and touchscreen on my phone and tablet.

Honestly the greatest way to scroll everI raise you

Both excellent options. I use both at work, only the touchpad at home. Program a couple gestures, and it's fucking awesome.

I own one of these and hardly ever use it. It's kind of a piece of shit. MB trackpad for life.

I use mouse gestures that map to "scroll to top of page" and "scroll to bottom of page, " and pretty much everything else.
.
Everything with my mouse.
Cycling through tabs with your mouse is Godlike. I mean wow....

Give up the scroll wheel? Never.

Yeah, autoscroll is the best. I set it to a slow scroll, then sit back with both arms behind my head and read the whole page as it scrolls.

You're proud of using arguably the worst Apple mouse of all time (and that's saying a lot)?
Opera mouse gestures > keyboard shortcuts
