Vimium in fact heralded the downfall of Chrome for me. At first, I loved it. Finally, I thought, no more context switch between browser and editor! Then I realized due to Chrome's design, when a page doesn't load and an internal error page appears, Vimium is never called. Then suddenly I've got to resort to ctrl+w and friends some of the time. After dealing this for a while it eventually became too annoying to even bother with. Looking for alternatives, I stumbled across Pentadactyl[1]. Tried it for a few minutes and realized it was time to make the switch back to Firefox. I've learned that in the end, for basic software like browsers, window managers & editors, consistency by far the most important attribute; Pentadactyl/Firefox really delivers on that end. Further, in regards to the issue you describe, Pentadactyl offers the ^v command which enables pass-through mode, which sends all keys except escape to the site you're browsing.
