This comes up every once in a while on HN. I've been using vimium for over 10 years now since I did an internship at the same company as the guys who created it. Can't imagine browsing the web without it. Works especially well with HN and those small link targets :)
I also recommended vimium-c ( https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c ). It's like vimium on steroid: with a bunch of additional useful features.
Edit: no, but tridactyl is: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl

Honestly, I don't know how you all stay so low, I'm down to 1172, and getting it even that low feels like a bit of an accomplishment.
Zen. And MaxTabs. I limit myself to 5 tabs by force. Anything more, it means I'm becoming scatterbrained and need to revisit what I already have opened and think more linearly rather than in a spastic manner. I tried saving tabs for reference material, but I prefer something simpler. I shutdown my PC at the end of the day. I have a dump.txt where every link that might get needed tomorrow gets pasted.

Holy shit... 500 tabs? I thought I was bad about accumulating tabs but had no idea ~500 was even possible. I'm trying to even but I literally can't--You might say "I literally can't even".
I have once went upto 1674 in Firefox.
I've been using Vimium for quite some time now, and while I like it, there are two things which annoy the hell out of me. Vimium disables the browser's backward-forward cache (by listening to the "unload" event), causing navigation to be much slower. There is also no way for a website owner to warn a Vimium user of conflicting keybindings. I run a website which implements Vim keybindings and several of my users compl…
As the website author, you can see which extensions the client browser is running, no? Wouldn't that make it your responsibility to detect then disable your custom keybindings rather than the users's?

At least in firefox, I'm not sure that's true. I go back pretty frequently (maybe you mean specifically with vimium back navigation) and get yesterday's cached HN front page, for example.
I've observed the effects on both Firefox and Chrome and it's like day and night.
On chrome you can even test it using Devtools > Application> backward forward cache

It's not possible to detect the presence of Vimium. https://github.com/philc/vimium/issues/2399
