I agree, we're aiming to optimize for the most popular websites first. No plans for supporting ALL websites.

Not yet, since we're first focused on an MVP. It's something we do have in mind for our roadmap!
How difficult is it to maintain both browsers compared to only one?

That looks awesome! Really similar to what we want to build for our users.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for mentioning that. I'm going to remove "for free", no plans to monetize.

I agree, it seems like a generic solution that doesn't work for specific problems. Macro tackles the problem first, and aims to provide a really good experience for specific websites .

We've implemented this with inputs and other Chrome extensions in mind, so it should work with Vimium. Our shortcuts mostly use modifier keys so that it doesn't interfere with anything else.

We also help users discover shortcuts that are already on the app, and centralize all of these shortcuts in our panel which can be accessed by Alt+/

Creator here.
Vimium provides mostly generic shortcuts for all websites. We find that there's a huge potential for better shortcuts on popular websites like Messenger and Google that are tailored towards the app.
For example, Cmd+Enter sends an emoji, whereas there's no alternative on Vimium iirc.

Macro is a Chrome extension that makes users more productive on the web through keyboard shortcuts.
Macro offers powerful website-specific shortcuts and instant keyboard shortcut discovery across many websites. Think Vimium and Reddit Enhancement Suite in one. Learning one website's shortcuts means you won’t have to learn it again for a new website.
