If you are using vim, you should definitely try using cvim or similar for chrome. You’ll most probably stop using mouse when in browser. If it’s about tools, I would suggest trying out i3 and emacs. I’ve used vim+tmux for a couple of years. Slowly I’ve migrated to Emacs. Somehow, I like it a little more than vim. I still heavily use tmux. For tmux, having a startup script with pre configured windows and panes can be helpful as well. Having a dual monitor setup can also be very productive. I personally try to avoid using mouse. Most of my hacks are targeted to achieve this.

Using vimium on Chromium and vim-vixen on Firefox I always found those extensions quite limited and buggy.

So far so good - Letters positions are not as accurate as let's say, qutebrowser, and sometimes when you open a link it's not the right one, even if the letter was indicating it. For a clear illustration of what I'm trying to say, try to browse stackoverflow and use the reviews queue. - When the page is saturated, letters start overlapping, you find yourself with one link hovered by 'A' and another 'AA' maybe a couple of links labelled: 'AB', 'AC', ... and in this situation it's impossible to select the link 'A', you have to do it with the mouse. You'll be better off using qutebrowser instead.
