You have to have an unusual reason to want to use these keyboard-navigated type browsers, and I found one for myself.. so that I can create automated scripts without a recorded macro or mouse clicker. Vieb has easy installation for windows, but the window resizing is so difficult (no upper right corner square for collapsing/resizing), that I'm ready to jump through the hoops to use a different Vim keyboard.

You have to have an unusual reason to want to use these keyboard-navigated type browsers, and I found one for myself.. so that I can create automated scripts without a recorded macro or mouse clicker. Vieb has easy installation for windows, but the window resizing is so difficult (no upper right corner square for collapsing/resizing), that I'm ready to jump through the hoops to use a different Vim keyboard. Put site in address bar and go. Type “f” you will get the funky icons on the website and if you type what's in them it will take you where you want to go. Window isn't sized, no buttons on the upper right. F1 for cheatsheet No prior page buttons etc.. navigating will be a challenge. Altogether, I appreciate Vieb's uniqueness for a specific task, but wouldn't use generally.
Only just discovered this but already excited about it.
