VimFx Alternatives
VimFx is described as 'Mozilla Firefox extension which introduces Vim-style keyboard shortcuts for browsing and navigation, significantly reducing the use of mouse, and allowing your hands to rest on the home row' and is an app in the Web Browsers category. There are more than 10 alternatives to VimFx for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Firefox and Google Chrome. The best alternative is Vimium, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like VimFx are cVim (Free, Open Source), Vim Vixen (Free, Open Source), Vimac (Free, Open Source) and Vieb (Free, Open Source).
- The Hacker's Browser. Vimium provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Vim . Vimium helps you navigate the web without touching the mouse.
- Vim bindings for Google Chrome. Why is this different than Vimium, ViChrome, or Vrome? These extensions do a wonderful job of adding Vim-like keybindings to Google Chrome, but they lack many of the features that the Firefox add-on Pentadactyl have.

No screenshots yet - Vim Vixen is a Firefox add-on which allows you to navigate with the keyboard on the browser. Firefox started to support WebExtensions API and will stop supporting add-ons using legacy APIs from version 57. For this reason, many legacy add-ons do not work on Firefox 57.
- Stop using your clunky trackpad/mouse now. Vimac is a productivity application that revolutionizes the way you navigate macOS. Click on buttons with hints. Activate Hint-mode and type the hint-text to perform a click. Trackpad-smooth keyboard scrolling.No screenshots yet

- Shortcat is a keyboard tool for Mac OS X that lets you "click" buttons and control your apps with a few keystrokes. Think of it as Spotlight for the user interface.
- Vimperator is a Firefox browser extension with strong inspiration from the Vim text editor, with a mind towards faster and more efficient browsing. It has similar key bindings and you could call it a modal web browser, as key bindings differ according to which mode you are in.
