When Chrome kills ad-block (something that Google seems to be working on), then probably more people will come back to Firefox. Only some ad-blockers keep Firefox alive. It is worse chrome-like browser than Chrome.Īt the moment Firefox is a memory and processor hog (Chrome sometimes seems to have improved now). I use both Firefox and Chrome (and Opera too) - and I can tell you that the current version of Firefox is not only a 'Chrome clone'. It still works in Waterfox, but who knows for how long…

* It routinely and unexplainably fails when browsing some pages. The ugly way around it is to install the New Tab Override add-on and set an HTML document as your new tab URL. So, effectively, opening a new tab using the Vimium-FF shortcut t disables Vimium-FF. Both of these options will focus on the address bar and focus can’t be reclaimed using Vimium-FF shortcuts. Firefox can be set to show either “Blank Page” or “Firefox Home” when opening a new tab. It can access your bookmarks and history but sorts them in strange ways and it does not understand bookmark keywords. In Vimium-FF an HTML/CSS/JS input box opens in your viewport. With VimFX you press o and you can immediately begin to type your URL in your current tab. * Focusing on the address bar is only possible if you open a new tab. Imagine, in age of 5 MB web pages, not being able to go back because the page is loading. With VimFX I press the h key to “go back one page” and the l key to “go forward one page” and it works while the page is loading, in Vimium-FF it does not.

* Vimium-FF does does not respond to input when a page is loading. Here are some things that won't work with WebExtensions… And yes yes, Vimium-FF and all the other extensions that attempt to do this are broken. Real keyboard navigation is impossible to implement with WebExtensions. VimFX uses it for keyboard navigation that works. It has been used under the radar till this day.
