    A browser extension to enable Vim-like keymaps on the browsers!!

    By sheer statistics, it seems like the only Vim-like Firefox addon still actually living is Tridactyl (there's also vimmatic, the descendant of vim-vixen but it is very young, very small user population and is still officially experimental).
