by Firefox user 13554175, 8 years agoLooks promising, but can't figure out how to disable it for specific domains, so it's unusable for me at the moment.

You can press `I` to get into ignore mode and to leave it.
We don't yet have any per domain settings, but we have just finished the user configuration back end that was blocking it, so it should come soon. Check back in a few days or a week!

- Rated 5 out of 5by skrewt, 6 days agoI like Tridactyl so far- it's my first foray into browser vim emulation and it does pretty well on most sites. I really appreciate motions like `gi` that let you jump to the main input field on a site.
I've found that it doesn't completely replace mouse navigation for me; several sites I use have nonconventional clickable elements (not buttons/hrefs) and so the `f` finder doesn't highlight them, and `;;` highlights so many things it's hard to find the right one.
I'm still solidly on the learning curve, but it's already made certain actions way quicker for me, and I love the command line- with some quick theming it's probably the coolest thing about my Firefox now!
The native plugin works seamlessly too- and the ability to edit text in my preferred editor (Shoutout to Helix!) has been great as well.
Solid work, highly recommended to give it a shot if you like modal editors. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17112212, 12 days agofantastique. tridactyl is the most thought out and perfected exploration of what is imo an important branch of browsers as technology.

- Rated 5 out of 5by TypicalUser128, a month agoIt works on more sites than Vimium. It's faster than Vimium. Tridactyl is simply better than Vimium. Only Qutebrowser is more effective than this. Wow.

- Rated 5 out of 5by v69777, a month agoI tried several keyboard-oriented browsers, but for now nothing beats Firefox with Tridactyl installed.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18524146, 2 months agoI have tried Vimium, Vimium C, Surfing Keys, and a few others; however, Tridactyl is the best. It is comparable in terms of raw power and capability to Qutebrowser, which is remarkable. I have yet to find a use case where a Qutebrowser solution did not also work in Tridactyl. My favorite features include the `:command` mode to execute complex commands (including chaining them), the ability to use custom JavaScript, the tridactylrc file (makes it easy to sync dotfiles), the ability to control other add-ons, and the ability to control Firefox itself (i.e., clear history, local storage, etc: by time or whatever). It is without a doubt the most feature-rich Vim-like browser add-on; as a result, it also loads the slowest. It also currently has issues with Google Docs/Sheets/Drive, so you may need to use an alternative (like Vimium) for those sites. Lastly, this add-on also requires the most learning and configuration to use efficiently, as it is the most complex. In conclusion, if you are a power user who strives to abandon the mouse entirely with full control over the browser, then Tridactyl is the add-on for you. But if you just want something simple, then Vimium or Surfing Keys are always an option too.

I just remove default Ctrl-f bind since it is burned into my muscle memory that it’s this to find on a web browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by Flat, dark and simple, 6 months agoAmazing extension, only lacking on the theme documentation

- Rated 5 out of 5by rev0kable, 6 months agoThis Vim modeled addon has the most features for a power user, it have more of a learning curve than say, Vimium if you want to utilize the additional capabilities.
