Features & Capabilities

Yet Another Hints Extension allows you to click elements without using your mouse. Pressing Ctrl+m generates hints for each clickable element in the current view. Each hint has a character code. When you type a code, a hint gets highlighted, and you can "click" the corresponding element by pressing the return key. You can also add ctrl, shift, alt and meta modifiers when you press return to simulate ctrl+click and so on.

About permissions: the extension requires access to every page you use the extension in. All this extension does is generates hint elements based on existing elements in page. There is no logging or any other shady business.

You can customize the keybinding and hint characters in the extension's options page.

I like Vimium but wanted something simpler that just gave me link hinting. This does that job perfectly.

Is Yet Another Hints Extension Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Yet Another Hints Extension requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
