About Chrome vimium
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.
