I know the authors are in the comments so let me say: thank you!
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
Is there a Linux version? It looks very handful

Why in the world are those links side by side?
The "f" mode in Vimium is just wonderful. I wish that I could have a system-wide keyboard just like that. I seem to remember in Windows 7, there was some sort of voice assistant, that could similarly put a label on every visible clickable element. That was for voice command, but would be great for keyboard navigation, too.
Keyboard controls of Vim were one of the most atrocious things I had to endure as a sweng so it's sad to see a replication of this 70s tech derived from inflexible wooden keyboards making it to modern tech stack. Stockholm syndrome/addiction is strong...

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?
It's interesting, because i've asked many people who have massive tab counts this same question, and it seems the overwhelming answer is that bookmarks are harder to manage than tabs. It takes more time to bookmark a link, than it is to open it in a new tab. The positioning of the tab is an indication of approx. when that tab had been opened, and the other tabs near it is likely similar in subject matter, or is relat…
I have to shut down everything at the end of the day and start from a clean reboot the next or I get overwhelmed. I think it's sort of my way of unloading work stuff from my brain at the end of the day and loading up again at the beginning of the next.

Isn't that just stressful? Are you ever going to look at more than 20% of the things on your backlog? My approach is to bookmark things and then if I feel like it's time to read up on something or just a good time to work on the reading backlog, I'll just pick whatever seems suitable at a first glance.
> Isn't that just stressful? No, why would it be? It's sort of my curated list of things to check out when I have a free moment, just like HN is. HN curates the Internet for potentially interesting things for hackers, and I further curate from that (and other sources) for things that interest me, and have them as open tabs. It's no more "stressful" than knowing the fact that there are thousands of interesting HN link…
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/
Here are some of my headaches that force me to use Chrome/Firefox anyway sometimes, if anyone has answers to these I am very interested to hear them.
* Can't save passwords / autofill (for accounts I don't particularly care about)
* UI scaling in Windows (for high-res screens) is bad. The web page contents do not scale automatically.
* Does not resolve Teams "secure links" (workaround is to right click teams links instead and copy them, then paste in qutebrowser)
* Twitter videos don't work
* On linux (somehow this works on windows), "accept all cookies" sometimes does not get rid of that prompt. Stack overflow is an example where this happens. Another example is redhat where the prompt does not load for a while [0]
* Clicking something that spawns a box where text can be inserted does not bring me into insert mode. Example [1] (the searchglass). This causes me to close the tab by mistake sometimes by typing 'd'.

Vimium was my introduction to software engineering :) I contributed a bunch of code to it back in 2011-2012. Glad to see it still being in use! I'm quite proud of the little test I wrote to figure out which DOM APIs could be used to detect the visibility of different kinds of elements, in order that we could display link hints correctly: https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/test_harnesses/v...
