I use it vimperator occasionally with firefox and consider it an excellent piece of software :). If only firefox weren't such a bloat, I would happily start using it as my main browser.

No, obviously this would be usuless if you had to touch the mouse. If you look at the links, they have little symbols like [aa] [ab] [ac] and so on. You just *type* the symbol and the link gets opened. If you type with shift it gets opened in a new tab. Wish I had this kind of link selection in Opera.

Re: [dwm] [OT] vimperator
The web is full of visual bloat. That's why your web browser must be compatible, thus be bloat, too. Vimperator is no big win. If you want a better web, provide mountable interfaces to the important services... And regarding firefox: I tried to print ten pages from firefox yesterday. It slowly grew to 200mb in ram, and used all the cpu power, before i killed it and instantly installed opera. Congratulations to firefox and all those oss fine arts suckers.

I totally agree, unfortunately. I'd just like to have Opera with the frontend interface of vimperator. Which doesn't seem likely :). Best, -- [a] signature.asc Description: Digital signature
