Add-on summary
Vimium C is an open source browser extension that provides keyboard-based inner-page navigation, browser tab operations, and an enhanced search panel, so you may take full advantages of your browser without a mouse or touchpad.
It supports all original commands of Vimium and some new useful commands (a full list can be seen in a help dialog in the Vimium C Options page). And it can map a same key sequence to different commands for different websites (and/or for different active elements in page).
For example:
- press
fto hint all clickable elements of the current web page - press
oto show a search panel ("Vomnibar", a safe iframe) to search in your history, bookmarks, opened tabs and configured search engines, and you can even remove a history or tab by selecting a search result and pressing Shift+Delete - press j, k, h, l to scroll down/up/left/right on web pages
- press "/" to search for text; press "v" to enter Visual Mode (just like VIM)
- press Shift+J, Shift+K,
g0,g$to switch to the previous/next/first/last tab - press
xto remove a tab, and Shift+X to restore recently closed tabs (sessions), and many other commands - command repetition: for example, pressing
5X(5, Shift+X) will restore 5 recent closed tabs - configure key mappings to bind Vimium C's tens of commands to other key sequences, and add options to switch command behaviors
- apply block lists and allow lists of key mappings on configurable special websites and URLs

User reviews
I much prefer the simplicity of the original "Vimium" addon.
The addon requires lots of permissions to do its job. Fine. But when I tried to audit Vimium-C for security, I found the code to be very challenging to audit, and gave up. That's a dealbreaker for me in terms of security.
Vimium original's code is far, far more readable/auditable.
