I find Surfingkeys to be much superior to vimium. Works consistently in all sites. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/surfingkeys/gfblio...
I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.
I once used Vimium and some bug caused the extension to permanently close my hard-earned ~500 tab collection. So while I feel like I lost a lot, I've never felt so much at peace since either.
is this some kind of modern-day hoarding? how would you even find that useful? why don't you use bookmarks for the earliest ones?
There's also a free, open source vim style browser called Qutebrowser which you can control like Vim if that's your thing. It works well, also with complicated web sites. https://qutebrowser.org/
I have been using qutebrowser for some time now and it's pretty nice if you can accept having a browser without UBlock Origin and other extensions ranging from nice-to-have to obligatory. The main advantage and the reason and I can't get myself to switch to Firefox is that it's vim-UX is just flawless. It works amazingly well and is just magnitudes better than any Firefox or Chrome extension that adds vim-UX on top s…
Vimium has a lot of other great functions, but I don’t use them often enough to remember them, maybe I should.
However, I have to exclude it for a lot of webapps and websites where keybindings are used to trigger different events, which is sometimes annoying if you don’t know or forget about it.
For those looking to replace the mouse at the OS level on macOS (similar vibe), Scoot is pretty good for that... https://github.com/mjrusso/scoot
I also recommended vimium-c ( https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c ). It's like vimium on steroid: with a bunch of additional useful features.
Any specific things you do with vimium-c that are must have features to switch over?

Also, I think the other mentioned alternatives look quite similar to that regard.

Tried it before, long long time ago, but found it to complex. But now after using Vimium for a while Qutebrowser actually seems very intuitive and not hard at all.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
How do you find a specific tab out of those 1172 though? I assume some might be quite old and any tab-finder isn't going to search inside the tab itself?
I keep my tabs low and there's no way I'd find anything with that many tabs open but thought I'd call out the feature given the context of this discussion.
