Well if you are familiar with Vim learning Vimium was super easy barely any inconvience. I used an Anki deck to become familiar with all of the shortcuts and boom, off to the races.

The biggest keys to remember is f which shows all the links you can click on. I should add a disclaimer however that I ended up using vimium probably only 50% of the time, I've noticed when I am in the middle of working I use vimium more heavily, during light browsing I tend to use the mouse a bit more.

I will also say the other big thing that wasn't possible before Vimium is that I can now add a bookmark to pretty much any page I will visit more than once and then that page is only a 'Shift + b' and a couple of keystrokes away. Super efficient when dealing with giant bloated web apps that take 5 seconds to render every state change.
