I use Qutebrowser. All links and interactions are keybound. so if for example I want to "click" on your user name I hit "F" which pops up a link hint and then hit whatever two letters are over the link. so for your profile it would be f + ll. that's it. everything that it's on a webpage that you would normally use a mouse to interact with can all be done with keybinds. It's great, it's quick.
Browser navigation is also keybound. if I want to go back I hit shift+h. forward is shift+l. to switch tabs it's shift+j or k. closing a tab is just pressing d.
there's also extenstions for chrome and firefox that will do the same thing like vimium and tridactyl.
If you've used Vim for an extended period of time then navigating the same way in a browser is actually awesome. takes a bit to get used to but once you do you won't go back and trying to use a browser with a mouse just feels slow.
thank you for your elaborate guide! i ended up installing vimium, as i am restricted in my vrowser choice at work.
Qutebrowser is great for document style sites. I use it for tutorials and tech sites. Great for reading.
