> firefox should ship a 'power user' edition

If you have Firefox-Sync enabled. You will get all your extensions anyway. so it is a one time setup for all those extensions that you need.

First time hearing Tridactyl! I'm using Vimium. Does it have any advantage over Vimium?

Related to the GP - Tridactyl has container support with `tabopen -c [container name] url`, for example.

Generally we're much more happy to add features. Vimium cares much more about looks and stability (although we do have a Vimium-style theme with `colours shydactyl`).

Yes, but it's still annoying to set up the containers and set up that certain sites only open in certain containers.

Also if I'm on a work device I may not want to sign into Firefox Sync for privacy reasons.

Same reason as mine- separation of work and private profiles

Sorry never used it but one advantage of tridactyl is that the creator lurks here and is extremely responsive and kind.

I will tell you what 3-fin can and can't do-

Can:

Js, key bindings, can show alpha and numeric hints. In numeric mode, behaves like vimp- type char of link text. ;; for link info. ; for hover. C-d/C-f et al work. H, L navigate history. Edit in vim. C-i

Cannot: Self limitation -

No way to stop page load I think. Very painful :)

No shortcut for search. No readline bindings in text editing regions.

Webext limitation- takes a while to load.

That's all I use right now.

You can stop page load with `stop`, bound to x, provided that the page has loaded enough for Tridactyl to be running.

Search - we actually have our own find mode now. Instructions on how to set it up are on the changelog. The default Firefox one has find next / previous bound to Ctrl-G / Ctrl-Shift-G.

You can add readline binds to text regions if you want. It's mentioned and linked to on the help page somewhere near the top.

You'll have to pardon me for not finding time to read the manual and spouting nonsense! I'm going to get around to it real soon, just too much backlog!
