Web Search Navigator is a Chrome/Firefox extension that adds keyboard shortcuts to Google, YouTube, Github, Amazon, Startpage, and Google Scholar.

Note that this extension focuses on searching, not general keyboard navigation. For the latter, you should look into extensions such as Vimium [1], Tridactyl [2], and Surfingkeys [3]. Alternatively, if you are willing to use a niche browser, you should look into Qutebrowser [4], Nyxt [5], and Vieb [6].

I use it with Vimium C [7] and Firenvim [8], which are both excellent browser extensions that focus on more general keyboard navigation. This provides reasonably good keyboard-based web browsing in Chrome/Firefox.
