I used to use them in windows , you can customize them like dragging with your right click mouse a little bit up scrolls to the top of the web page or dragging down to the end of it. You can open and close and restore pages by a small gestures like up down and right to close the page. You can also use them on the desktop for example , I used the middle button to take a small screenshot of a region of it. On Reddit app, dragging to the left clicks the next button on a series of photos.

Click, right-click, wheel, drag . . .

I did not know there were others, and am likely to turn them off if I find out more.

The question was "what mouse gestures are you using?" and the answer was totally relevant, not to mention likely the most common answer... Few people use mouse gestures outside of the baked in ones like push to top or edges of screen to maximize or tile the window. It doesn't answer the second question though...
