  • vimium

    The hacker's browser.

    Searching using Vimium-FF was broken for me for almost an year. I kept waiting for it to be fixed until my patience ran out and I switched to Vimium C and it worked fine.

    The author of Vimium C also raised a PR and it looks like it was finally merged but I don't think I'm going back to Vimium-FF now.

  • VimFx

    Vim keyboard shortcuts for Firefox

    > But instead we get “Colorways”

    Yeah, the browser situation sucks and it's getting worse by the day.

    > I remember being upset for months when they killed XUL.

    You know what, still a week does not pass without me mourning the death XUL...

    I'm currently use Waterfox quite a bit. VimFX is still somewhat maintained[1] and works with Waterfox Current!

    It should be added that this browser is owned by an adtech company called System1. But my only alternative at this point is surfing in a straitjacket (without VimFX) or use Waterfox. Haven't really found any apparent wrongdoings by System1 yet, but I guess it's a question of time...

  • python-adblock

    Brave's adblock library in Python

    FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0

    > Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.

    You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

  • Vieb

    Vim Inspired Electron Browser - Vim bindings for the web by design

  • Surfingkeys

    Map your keys for web surfing, expand your browser with javascript and keyboard.
