I used to use vimperator and/or pentadactyl back before the big firefox change that redid how the browser buttons/menus/etc were rendered and it was pretty ideal. The bar at the bottom, the ability to do bind any menu action, the quick addon management interface, the beautiful completion when opening a link.

Since eventually switching to Chrome, I've tried vimium every now and then and always found it lacking. It usually got in the way when I didn't want it to and I'd get sick of trying to figure out how to turn it off for a particular site/just for this one interaction and just uninstall it.

It's been a year probably, so I guess I'm about due for another go.

I've been using Tridactyl ever since Vimperator went belly-up. It's not 100% there yet, but it's getting close!
I use cVim and turning it off for a domain is a matter of clicking on the extension icon and then 'disable for this domain'.

The reason I switched to cVim was that I preferred its approach to the 'type keys to click link on page' feature.
