I use the Vimium addon (https://github.com/philc/vimium https://github.com/philc/vimium) for Chrome/Firefox to do this. As a bonus, I get to use the standard Vim keys for navigation. At first glance the primary benefit of Link Hints would be performance? And it seems like recognizing links might be more robust. Vimium and other addons like it can be insufferably slow sometimes and just bearably slow much of the time, so that is appealing. I'd be missing Vim's navigation though.
