Well, for firefox as well. Although on both it lacks the flexibility it used to, due to browser limitations.

- calvinmorrison 5y agoIt mostly works still, navigation, scrolling and link jumping work fine and cover 90% of what I do
- alpaca128 5y agoNot sure about Chromium, but in Firefox Vim plugins only work if a page is loaded in the current tab. It doesn't work while the site is loading(e.g. to switch tabs), it doesn't work if the page failed to load, it doesn't work in an empty tab, ... A Vim-based browser doesn't have any of those issues because the whole UI is focused on those controls.
- szszrk 5y agoCorrect, that is exactly what I was referring to. Back in the old days of addons to Firefox it used to be possible there as well. Vieb looks cool, but I've already learned Vimium and likely won't switch. Same as with screen and tmux. Maybe tmux is better, but why do I have to learn a tool every 15 years, right? UI of Vieb is gorgeous. So slick, restrained. Love it.
