You know I have a hard time taking this kind of calls serious.

It is, rip off your middle mouse button and there you go.

No, I and many others don't want that at all so it won't become a default ever.

Middle mouse button clicks always pastes the clipboard content, and your browser is 
your window to the whole wide internet world. Why would you want to use middle click 
pasting into the window to the whole wide internet world if you don't want it explicitly? 
Because you are still stuck in your "internet explorer autoscroll" expectation and resist 
even to try to know better, to know that you a using a completely different system, 
completely different applications, altogether with a completely different history? Sorry, 
your kind of arguments doesn't make any of the widespread mmb paste users a 
convert. I suggested quite some solutions which I'm sure would satisfy most people's 
remaining concerns. But you keep pushing full force for drastic changes, and I'm 
already pretty sure this is leading nowhere since everyone gets fed up by this topic 
even before touching it.
