I looked over the docs -- seems very similar to Vimium, and doesn't come close to Vimperator.
My one feature that I prefer in Vimperator is how it handles link-clicking.
To click a link in Vimperator, you type `f`, then start typing the text of the link you want to follow. Once your search only matches a single link, the Vimperator clicks that link or button for you. You can also type a number, which selects that match.
In Vimium, Saka Key, etc, you type `f`, and then type a short, unique code, which is assigned to each clickable element in order.
So, for a page like Hacker News, to follow the third "comments" link in Vimperator, I type `fcommen3`. In Vimium, I type `f`, then squint my eyes and parse the labels it applies, and them maybe type `sw` or something random.

Once your search only matches a single link, the Vimperator clicks that link or button for you. You can also type a number, which selects that match. You can do that with Vimium too. The setting is called "Use the link's name and numbers for link-hint filtering". IIRC "Require Enter when filtering hints" is selected by default when you enable the previous setting, so the link is only highlighted and you have to press enter to open it.
- jitl 9y ago> Use the link's name and numbers for link-hint filtering Well, that's what I get for trying something once and never looking again... Thanks for the tip!
