How do you back/forward

I use the browser's toolbar mostly with an occasional nervous backspace when the google result I'm looking at is way off.

What about you?

I'm an avid "back" user. Whenever I'm surfing forums, news, etc.

On a mac I hit the back button on the browser toolbar, otherwise I use the "back" button on my mouse on my pc.

Buttons on my mouse. I've had mice with buttons for forward/back for years and now can't live without them.

I use the backspace key and CTRL+Right arrow or whatever forward. Occasionally I use the browser button if my left hand is far away.

In fact, I use the keyboard a lot. The page-up/down and home/end keys are very useful.

Generally I use the keyboard about 70% of the time for basic actions (back/forward/refresh/etc.) while I'm developing. Actually my fingers rarely leave the F keys.

I use a mix of toolbar and keyboard. I actually have the mouse buttons but I don't use them (for browsing at least... they're very useful in FPS games)

Most of the time I press one of the extra buttons on my mouse.

After that I mostly click on the toolbar buttons.

I use backspace to go back, and the browser toolbar button for forward. Mostly because I never learned the keyboard shortcut for it

Page up/down and the Home/End keys are useful, too.

I use a combination of mouse gestures, a back button on my mouse, and the backspace key.

Backspace, mouse gestures (if I have one plugged in), click in the browser.

In that order of preference

I click the back button, but now that I just learned about these buttons going back and forth, I think I'll start to use them. I mostly open things in new tabs though, so not many tabs go "back"

I had a blog. It sucked.

Backspace to go back and shift+backspace to go forward. Occasionally I use the toolbar.

I use the gesture where holding right mouse button and clicking the left mouse button takes you back and vice versa. Really handy.

Mouse button for back. I rarely need to go the other way, so it's the browser button for those times.

Because I don't have an mx510, but a somewhat older Logitech.

I usually use a combination of a little of everything but I mostly use my mouse's button 4 and 5 for back and forward. When I'm using a Mac at school those, I use the browser since most Macs only have one button :argh:

I can't stand to browse without a back button on my mouse.

At work, where I don't have a fancy mouse I really appreciate Konqueror's option to go back with a short right click.

I used to use mouse gestures religiously, but since then I haven't.

I've been using firefox lately, where I don't have them installed, but I suppose if I got into Konqueror again, I'd use them, since they're on by default.
