Just like swiping the trackpad to go back/forward, user can wheel-click then drag horizontally to go back/forward. (Drag to the right - Go Back a Page, Drag to the left - Go Forward a Page)
User has options to change the drag threshold length (in pixels). (e.g. if user wants dragging to be shorter, they can change settings in options page)
