DeadMouse

Ditch your mouse. Surf the web with just your keyboard.

What is DeadMouse?

'DeadMouse' is a unique Chrome extension that aims to improve user experience by enabling web navigation through your keyboard. It allows users to find and follow links just by typing the text of the link, with features like fuzzy-matching, opening in new tabs via a simple command, and tab-cycling through multiple matches. The newest update even includes an option to blacklist DeadMouse on certain domains.
