1. I use middle-click often (virtually all of the time);
2. I click on links virtually all of the time (I use Tab key to cycle 
between form elements);
3. Some link text or images are small, so sometimes I miss it;
4. Most URLs in web pages (like "www.debian.org") I see are already links;

So, sorry, I regard that feature as useless and annoying in browsers. 
Maybe it's more useful in mailreaders...
