what browser do you use for vim bindings?

qutebrowser as default for opening links, then I run Chrome(ium) with Vimium and Safari with vimari and blank command prefix. I've previously also used Pentadactyl (think there's one named Vimperator as well) for Firefox. Once you're used to it you'll never want to go back.

Pentadactyl/Vimperator will soon stop working, I believe at FireFox 57. Firefox is removing the ability to run XUL extensions, which will effectively be the end of the awesome VIM plugins for FF :(

I've recently made the switch to VimFX as a result of this and I have to say I couldn't be happier - it may not have some of the more powerful features (that I'm unaware of) but it definitely gets the job done.

I also switched to VimFX from Vimperator, and it blew my mind how much faster Firefox suddenly became! I used to simpathixe with my friend who switched back to Chrome "for it's speed" but without Vimperator, Firefox is waaaaay snappier than Chrome (on my machine). It made browsing a fun tactile experience again!

Is VimFX going to continue to work when Pentadactyl breaks?

Only if it gets turned into a WebExtension:
