2023-05-26	Igor Lerinc	Wow, Amaizing. This is a must for every developer out there. It really removes pressure of always needing to use mouse. Like you have option to navigate faster with Vim keybindings, as natural way of using this. You can code faster, and check browser, if you just need simple scroll here and there on your docs etc. You don't need to reach mouse like a maniac, so you can save your hand and wristles from RSI as It really helps to remove hands from mouse when not needed (or keyboard as well, but this makes it easier)
2023-05-26	Younes Mdarhri Alaoui	Love it so far
2023-05-25	Johannes Innerbichler	One of the most useful extensions in Chrome.
2023-05-19	Billy Liu	Works well, improves my productivity and flexible customizations to chome. I just need help finding where I can pay or donate, it's well deserved.
2023-05-13	tabliqat chi	I've been using it for almost a day now, I mainly use the f key, and I'm pretty much satisfied with it, however, there's one small thing I wish you could fix. When using Google Keep, hitting "f" assigns letter combinations to everything except the notes themselves! So I had to exclude the letters j and k for Google Keep in my Vimium settings to get Keep's hotkeys back working correctly. Thanks.
2023-05-11	Иван Велинов	Its awesome!
2023-05-09	Peter O	Trop bien, juste dommage que Google le laisse pas fonctionner sur certaines pages Google. La fonctionnalité pour naviguer sur tous les boutons d'une page avec F est incroyablement bien aussi
2023-04-27	Olle Hellgren	Speeds up browsing when you can navigate links without taking your hands off the keys.
2023-04-24	Robbe Claessens	Awesome!
2023-04-24	amordo	I still use classic win keybindings in the editor but can't imagine life without vim layout in browser. Awesome experience. Moreover it can be considered as a productive path to jump into Vim.
2023-04-20	Atticus Sebastiani	I can use my editor with just my keyboard, and my terminal, and my desktop, this just completes things.
2023-04-07	Alex Pena	This thing is amazing. Saves you time and your hand! After using it, I've noticed my hands don't hurt/feel as uncomfortable as they did. Makes me wonder if I've been using the mouse wrong since I don't even need it as much anymore. I only wish there was a version that worked on programs other then chrome. Other then that, what are you waiting for? You won't regret using it! Unless you like using the mouse, then it might not be for you.
2023-03-27	TKY Inumaru	PCでも便利なのは違いないが、スマホOSでブラウザをPCライクに使いたいとき、Androidでkiwiやflowなどchromiumベースの拡張機能ありブラウザを使ったにしても、画面の小ささが難点となっていた。vimiumは物理キーボードを使えば画面の小ささというスマホ・タブレットのディスアドバンテージを解決できるかもしれない。その点をぜひ評価したい。
2023-03-25	David Gutiérrez	This extension is incredible!
2023-03-22	Avishay Zawoznik	This used to be fantastic, but recently hitting "f" shows less keyboard shortcut labels on the screen than what it used to show in the past. It's not that the links are not available, it's just that the labels are somehow hidden. Would be happy if they could fix it, since this is the main feature I've been using...
2023-03-17	John Smith	It's good, but I wish there was a way to customize what shows up with the Vomnibar. I do not like my history popping up every time I type in an url. I have the feature disabled from my browser, but this extension still insists on showing me my history every time.
2023-03-17	Luong Nhan	It's really cool. Thanks for your great work!
2023-03-01	Mira	So useless for me ;-; it make harder to see and use also not usefull it too much latency
2023-02-28	Gerry H	One of the most important commands is the f command, I use it to navigate the page without having to use the mouse. But looking at the help, the explanation for the f command is incorrect, f doesn't open a link. It should say "find all links on the current page"
2023-02-27	Chien Do	It's damn good! Thank you!
2023-02-16	Mack Lee	Awsome!!!!!!
2023-02-06	Malcolm Mccrimmon	Absolutely essential for keyboard-loving power users. The ability to navigate URLs with the keyboard alone would make it a must-have for me, but it does so much more! Using other people's browsers now feels like having to move piles of gravel around with a pair of chopsticks.
2023-02-03	Claudia	I don't know how I lived so long without it but I am never going back. Top tier extension!
2023-01-29	n	best extension so far for shortcuts
2023-01-25	Gaël Blanchemain	Vimium became indispensable in my day to day. It makes my browsing experience incredibly fast and efficient.
