And, since plenty of other people are name dropping similar extensions/addons to Vimium (like Tridactyl, Vimari, Vim Vixen etc.), I might as well add they all suffer from the same shortcoming as Vimium C and Vimium-FF because they're all WebExtensions. VimFX is not.

I'm coping by suppression. ;)
Haven't looked to much into the alternatives like Waterfox/Pale Moon et al. How are they security wise? Do they offer patches immediately?
Yeah, the browser situation sucks and it's getting worse by the day.

You know what, still a week does not pass without me mourning the death XUL...
I'm currently using Waterfox quite a bit. VimFX is still somewhat maintained[1] and works with Waterfox Current.
It should be added that this browser is owned by an adtech company called System1. But my only alternatives at this point is surfing in a straitjacket (without VimFX) or using Waterfox. Haven't really found any apparent wrongdoings by System1 yet, but I guess it's a matter of time...
