> When you navigate via keyboard (by pressing "f"), Vimperator marks links with numbers, Vimium marks them with letters, from ("a to "zz'). Letters are much nicer when you can touch type and your hands are already on the keys.
I can't get myself to use Vimium. While I agree that it is in some ways a stronger navigation experience, the fact that it goes inert on un-loaded pages is a deal breaker. Not being able to cycle through my tabs all the way is not cool (i.e. as soon as it hits gmail it ceases to respond).
Also, while I do like the alphabetic link highlights, I dislike the size. Particularly here on HN, the links can overlap making it difficult to determine what the second letter in the sequence is.
