Either browsers have locked things down too tight, or for some other reasons these Vim like plugins are skeletons of their past. And websites are also keen to grab key strokes, e.g. "/" on Github. Some nice people have kept one alive for Safari as well https://github.com/televator-apps/vimari but there's only so much they can do. It's almost useless. I tried Vimium-FF (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/vimium-ff) and many other Vim like add-ons in last 2-3 months (after I decided to give Firefox another try after Pocket; and the possibility of ditching MacOS in my personal usage), but no, these plugins are nearly nowhere as useable as they used to be.

qutebrowser as default for opening links, then I run Chrome(ium) with Vimium and Safari with vimari and blank command prefix. I've previously also used Pentadactyl (think there's one named Vimperator as well) for Firefox. Once you're used to it you'll never want to go back. Update with links: https://www.qutebrowser.org/ https://vimium.github.io/ https://github.com/guyht/vimari https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/pentadactyl/?... https://addons.mozilla.org/sv-SE/firefox/addon/vimperator/
