I'm a long-time fan of the Wasavi extension for Chrome/Firefox/Opera, which looks quite similar in terms of user experience. Wasavi is a purely javascript implementation of the vim editing experience, so I believe ends up with a simpler executable model vs launching nvim locally & then bridging to it.

It doesn't have 100% compatibility with vim - no vimscript, for example - but it covers more than enough of the basic movement commands & mappings to be entirely productive for me. I don't know if I would write actual pages of code in it, but I gratefully use it to write long queries in the browser.

Looks like the last commit was in August 2017. I don't see it in Firefox's add-on search.

Yeah, and the Chrome store is warning about removing it from the store for some best practice violation (no doubt related to the years-since-last-commit).

It does, however, work great for me so :fingers-crossed: I can avoid re-shaving this yak for another few years.
