For Firefox, I'm using Tridactyl[1] and am very happy with it, hint mode is an absolute god send.

I'm still a little sad Vimperator – the precursor to all of these – does not work in modern browsers because it was so good but Tridactyl is certainly as close as one is allowed to get with WebExtensions.

Same here. I've never been able to stick with any extension post-Vimperator. They've all just felt too clumsy. It's led to my tinkering with qutebrowser from time to time because it is seamless.

I had a lot of problems with that. The "disable on some domains" functionality was broken for years. Probably they fixed it by now. Vimium worked and works better.

You can almost totally disable Tridactyl on a domain with `:seturl [URL] superignore true` now for what it's worth.

`:blacklistadd [URL]` remains a much better option for most people for most sites because it lets you easily re-enable Tridactyl temporarily.

Glad you're happy with Vimium :)
