Writing efficient user interfaces is the main maxim, here at Vimperator labs. We often follow the Vim way of doing things, but extend its principles when necessary. Towards this end, we’ve created the liberator library for Mozilla-based applications, to encapsulate as many of these general principles as possible, and liberate developers from the tedium of reinventing the wheel.´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. For example, it has a special Hint mode, where you can follow links easily with the keyboard only. Also most functionality is available as commands, typing:back will go back within the current page history, just like hitting the back button in the toolbar.
