About Vimium C

Vimium C lets you browse with the keyboard instead of the mouse. It started from Vimium and adds many more commands and settings for following links, scrolling, searching and working with tabs, plus an advanced omnibar for jumping to bookmarks, history and open tabs.

It is a separate project from the original Vimium, maintained by its own developer with detailed release notes and a Chinese-language README alongside the English one. It suits people who already like Vim-style bindings and want more control than Vimium offers.

Strengths

  • Many more commands and options than Vimium
  • Advanced omnibar for tabs, bookmarks and history
  • Actively maintained with detailed release notes

Limitations

  • The number of options takes time to learn
  • Keyboard-first approach does not suit every user
