For Chrome you can use the chromeTouch extension.

Firefox has an equivalent addon, Grab and Drag.

For Opera I believe you can configure this internally by going to opera:config#Scroll Is Pan and ticking the "Scroll is Pan" checkbox.

A lot of mouse drivers let you use the middle button/wheel-click for this, with the benefit that it will work in all apps, not just web browsers. I know Logitech's have done this for years.

If you're using a non-OEM mouse have a look through the mouse applet in control panel, you may well already have this on your PC.
