called Vimium, and Chad Perrin figured out how to get it working on FreeBSD. But Vimium isn't Vimperator, and chromium disables extensions when viewing the home page or local files. So, for instance, vimium's key bindings don't work when viewing an HTML attachment to an email.

e chromium port does not require Linux emulation. Generally, I prefer chrome over firefox from the standpoint of performance and reliability, but the security issues in the port have put me off it. Meanwhile, I've become rather dependent on the Vimperator and GreaseMonkey extensions for Firefox, so I'm unlikely to change back to chrome even when its security issues are finally sorted. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://chipsquips.com | http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com pgpuch5MlEUp6.pgp Description: PGP signature
