I think IE actually lets you do either. I can see the benefit of right click 
in this case too. According to fitts law, the easiest pixel to click is the 
one your currently at, also targeting stuff is easier when the target is 
large, hence for users that are comfortable with context clicking, this 
method for accessing the history drop down in the back and forward buttons 
is probably faster.

I just commented on the egg bug about not supporting prioirity text, cuz 
that is plain stupid.

I don't see much use for a clean button, especially when there are other 
more worthwhile features we can add to the tbe (zoom control). I'd rather 
not bloat it with features that only are really useful to the minority of us 
who are addicted to primary selection (and i'm pretty addicted to it i might 
add).

address, damnit, address!!!! :) I agree with marco editting the address of a 
link is not something *most* people do.
