I think most development has moved onto the fork, Pentadactyl: http://dactyl.sourceforge.net/pentadactyl/

For Chrome users there is Vimium: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dbepggeogbaibhgnhh...

For what it's worth vimium (and the other chrome alternatives) aren't quite what vimperator is.

It's really the only thing keeping me from using chrome, since I hear the developer tools are as good as firebug.

Thanks. Due to your comment, I tried vimperator for the first time.
