Vimium chrome

Lynx, who needs graphics anyways right? Also, you can switch tabs (ctrl (shift) tab) while loading. There is also an equivalent for pdfs, dont know what more would be required? Vimium-FF was among the first Vim extensions for Firefox post-XUL, and is by far the most popular. It's from the same author (and has the same codebase / github repository) as the Vimium extension originally released on Chrome.Vimium C was forked off of that in 2014 and seems to be targeted towards Chinese users, with added support for the Chinese language. The Github readme does hint towards performance improvements, but doesn't provide much more detail. It also seems to have a new tab override feature, and a vimium-compatible fork of the Firefox PDF viewer, and a few other miscellaneous features. Searching using Vimium-FF was broken for me for almost an year. I kept waiting for it to be fixed until my patience ran out and I switched to Vimium C and it worked fine.The author of Vimium C also raised a PR and it looks like it was finally merged but I don't think I'm going back to Vimium-FF now. I have been using tridactyl for the better part of three years now and it's pretty great. It has a feature similar to DDG bang search, where you can add your own search prefixes to search any site. The "hinting" is also very powerful and scriptable. I have used vimium in the past and it never clicked with me as well as tridactyl. Yes, I agree. I'm still using Tridactyl on Firefox. I also have Vimium on Chrome, but I don't like it as much. My issue with it, as others have pointed out, is the lack of extensions ecosystem. It's painful how locked in we really are. I have

The whole vimium experience pretty moot.Also many modern websites have weird scrollbars, or the scrolling content is not the actual body but some div inside the page, and vimium doesn't seem to handle that well Not a solution to your problem, but tangential. Have you tried Okular? I used to hate working with PDFs before I discovered Okular. It is the KDE PDF reader. Will give it a look, thanks! But my guess is I will still stick with the browser inbuilt pdf viewer because most pdfs I view are accessed via url and are not downloaded. It would be too large a context switch to have 2 separate pdf viewers > My browsing consists mostly of pdfs so it makes the whole vimium experience pretty moot.This is so strange, what are you doing that is mostly in pdfs? As the other person said, universities publish majority of their notes as pdfs, very little academic material exists in html. Also papers are still entirely accessed as pdfs through e-libraries got it, makes sense. For this usecase, it almost makes sense to use IE because they still have the adobe acrobat plugin which imo is the gold standard of pdf reader, annotating. Have been using Vimium C for some time and even sponsored because I cannot imagine using Firefox without it. I love the way you can customise everything, although am not sure how that compares to other Vim-like extensions. The developer is also very responsive and helpful, providing work-arounds and quickfixes when needed. I always had a way better experience with the tridactyl plugin for FF. Because of my corporate machine I was forced to use chromium/edge and tried Vimium C but it does not compare in terms of features/keybindings. Sadly there seems to be no alternative for chrome/edge.

Been using vimium-c for the past few months, it was game changing for me. It is true though that sometimes I need to hit the occasional ctrl-w to close an unmanaged tab and f5 to refresh a page the plug in didn't load on. The best feature for me is the omnibar though, shortcuts like ctrl-b to search through bookmarks. Can't imagine using the browser without it. I wish for a Firefox fork that support Qutebrowser style navigation natively instead of those barely functional extension... I love the vi approach to text editing and have been using it in my daily work for 20 years now -- 10 years in Vim, 10 in Emacs, thanks to evil-mode -- and I have no intention to switch to anything else. However, I tried Vimium and other vi-like UIs for web browsers on multiple occasions but surprisingly it never stuck even though it seems so logical to use it for that as well. Eventually I realized that I actually enjoy taking an occasional break from the vi system and using the mouse for a bit. It's relaxing. The other thing is that web browsing as a task is so different from text editing than many vi concepts do not translate 1-to-1 and there's just too much new stuff that one needs to learn to make it work for web browsing. As a result the cognitive and muscle memory savings are really not that big. I use vimium (or was it vimium C?) on a chromium browser. My biggest bugbear with vimium is that it doesn't work in the browser's native pdf viewer. PDF viewer for vimium C exists but its definitely not as good as the native viewer (better rendering, allows annotating and saving etc).My browsing consists mostly of pdfs so it makes

Is surfing in a straitjacket (without VimFX) or using Waterfox. Haven't really found any apparent wrongdoings by System1 yet, but I guess it's a matter of time...[1] And, since plenty of other people are name dropping similar extensions/addons to Vimium (like Tridactyl, Vimari, Vim Vixen etc.), I might as well add they all suffer from the same shortcoming as Vimium C and Vimium-FF because they're all WebExtensions. VimFX is not. > still a week does not pass without me mourning the death XUL...I'm coping by suppression. ;)Haven't looked to much into the alternatives like Waterfox/Pale Moon et al. How are they security wise? Do they offer patches immediately? Quite a lot of sites break in Pale Moon. Waterfox Current works just as well as Firefox. FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.You just need optional dependancy Yes, but uBlock Origin is not only an adblocker. I can enter the element picker mode and remove parts of web pages that bother me. I use this a lot. Also, I have a hard time surfing without Tree Style Tab. I'm using Vimium, there are some limitations but everything is much much faster than not using it and makes for a much better interaction with the browser. I use Vimium too (when I'm not using Waterfox with VimFX) but any vim shortcut addon will be a shadow of its former self as a WebExtension. Then just use
