InfluxDB

I just did. There's an .xpi file in the releases page: https://github.com/akahuku/wasavi/releases/tag/v0.7.737
If you like Vim, you should also check out Vimium - an extension, that enables Vim-like navigation in the browser. Never put your fingers off the home row!
I made Homerow, it's the same idea as Vimium, but for the entire macOS user interface.
If you like Vimium, try qutebrowsers or Luakit, where keyboard is a first-class citizen that works everywhere and is not dependent on JS injection. May have a learning curve (took me about 3 days to get functional.)
There's also the nyxt browser https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt
See also Vime, which is Vim as an Input Method Editor, supposedly works with any X11 app. I haven't used it though. https://github.com/algon-320/vime
> 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

This looks very similar to shortcat https://shortcat.app/, can you tell me what your program offers that the other one (free, but also not OS) does not?
On an unrelated note, I made the same thing (barebones), but for Linux and theoretically also Windows: https://github.com/phil294/vimium-everywhere
When I'm using Safari I've found myself using Vimari: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vimari/id1480933944?mt=12
It's also available on GitHub if you're not interested in the Mac App Store: https://github.com/televator-apps/vimari
It works pretty well, but I've strayed away from using Vim & Vim bindings for everything after getting into using Emacs on my Linux box at work.
Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".
A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.
I think you've misunderstood, "native messaging" allows the tridactyl extension to interact with the filesystem and native applications: https://github.com/tridactyl/native_messenger
Check out win-vind! It also comes with a tiling window manager but I've never used that.
