Wasavi – VI editor for any webpage

> Come to think about it, I don't think it works as an "editor" in HTML text fields?
There was "itsalltext"[1] (sadly defunct) - but there's an alternative (i just discovered - so I've yet to try it) : ghosttext https://github.com/fregante/GhostText

Vimium - Vim extension for your browser

I used to use the itsalltext extension that did exactly that, but sadly it's not compatible with newer versions of Firefox anymore. The readme recommends GhostText which I haven't tried.

I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.

Am I correct that this is not fixed until this issue is closed (I tried building from source the 3.3.0 release and master branch but both have the exact same issue)?
