No, you can use hinting links and clickable links, but not with text selection.
qutebrowser has offered caret mode for a while, but without the hinting. You have to select some text with a search to initiate.
This is a new development in pointer-less and keyboard-driven browsing.
Also, the experience of a Chrome extension is pathetic compared to that of a browser where keyboard is first-class. With Chrome, even things like closing a tab or opening a new tab are inaccessible until the browser has parsed a page, the DOM has loaded, and the extension has injected and then run the JS into the page. (Which also means that you can't use it without also allowing JS in all pages you browse.)

That is not true. I use Tridactyl on FF and on pressing v it switches to selection mode very identical to the one shown. Then you can use hjkl to edit the selection.
