VimFx too - It's basically a clone of Vimium for Firefox, meaning it alters Firefox far less than Vimperator/Pentadactyl. There was previously a Firefox add-on that shared the name Vimium, but it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore.

Also KeySnail for Firefox: https://github.com/mooz/keysnail/wiki

It calls itself Emacs-like, but true to Emacs form, one of the default configurations gives Vim-like bindings instead of Emacs ones.

IMHO pentadactyl is the most usable of the lot. Webkit has some awful quirks with certain websites. Duolingo doesn't play audio at all.

pentadactyl seems to be dead these days(hasn't worked in the last several Firefox releases), so for Firefox i moved back to vimperator.

And vimprobable.

If you're looking for just some great keybindings, and the ability to choose links on a page with your keyboard, I suggest checking out Vimium for Chrome. It changed my life.

[therealdrag0]

Thanks! I have a friend that raves about Vimperator for FireFox. But I use Chrome and hadn't got to looking for an analog yet.

I'm working on a new JS framework that using a heavily modified Vim to allow you to write programs using only punch cards. But for it to work you have to be wearing a t-shirt that's one size too small and a scarf. It's not even done yet I'm already working a re-write in GO and Rust.

I just installed it. This might become my replacement for dwb, which sadly seems to no longer be developed.

I also use Firefox with Vimperator and I've tried Vimium on Chrome, but both are obviously tacked on.

[hsitz]

Tacked on, yes, but I'm not clear on what vimb does that Vimperator doesn't do, or couldn't do, in Firefox. The integration of Vimperator is pretty damn good.

[dredmorbius]

Just wanted to thank provaz for this. I was hoping my recent emacs-based browser submission might turn up other similar projects.

[Ideka]

I see a lot of talk about Vimperator here.

Vimperator's pretty good, but you people really need to check out Pentadactyl.

[recuter]

I was using Pentadactyl about a year ago but I don't remember why it was better than Vimperator.

A few days ago I switched back to Firefox and Pentadactyl wasn't available for FF36. So I'm back to Vimperator + Tree Style Tab + Toolbar Autohide. Its a terrific setup, can't recommend it enough.

[farresito]

I gave another try to pentadactyl the other day, and, to be honest, I expected way more from it. I prefer vimperator by far.

[navait]

Pentadactyl is dead with the last several versions of firefox.

[changs]

Anything similar for OS X?

[wging]

Have you tried this? It runs on some BSDs, so I expect there's a chance it'll run on OS X too.

[joe_developer]

I use the Vimperator add-on for Firefox.

qutebrowser is my favourite now since it uses qtwebkit. https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser

Reading from a socket is exciting!
