And cVim: https://github.com/1995eaton/chromium-vim https://github.com/1995eaton/chromium-vim Now how do they compare?

  As a long time cVim user I've found out that 99% of my browsing can be done with its scroll up/down and open link features. When combined with this switch to recent tabs extension, the mouse becomes almost irrelevant: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/toggle-switch-recent-last/odhjcgnlbagjllfbilicalpigimhdcll https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/toggle-switch-rece...

    Vimium has the `visitPreviousTab` built in for toggling between two tabs.

      There is something like this in Surfingkeys, B - Go one tab history back F - Go one tab history forward

  Surfingkeys has a couple of features over cVim that I really like: -pressing '?' on any page will open the list of shortcuts -searching through bookmarks / history ('t') is prettier -very useful feature of switching through all the current open tabs with link hints ('T') There's one shortcoming I noticed, however, is that when you go to the link hint mode, there are no indication than you entered it. On cVim there's a "follow link" notice in the lower right corner. I'm a fairly casual user though, someone else will probably find more differences and pros / cons for each extension

I LOVE the scroll with j & k, it's smoothest scrolling experience I've ever seen!

I've tried a bunch of these "vim-like" plugins and I always come back to Vimium (on Chrome). On Firefox I'm stuck with Vimperator, which means I don't use Firefox very often.

  Why so? Firefox is still my browser du jour mainly because of Vimperator. I also use Vimium when in chrome, but Vimperator is way more powerful, and plugins are trivial to write: https://vimpr.github.io/plugins-en.html https://vimpr.github.io/plugins-en.html

  you should check out VimFX for firefox, its modeled after Vimium but i like it even better.
