## What it is
Vimium C is a browser extension that enables fully keyboard-driven web browsing, including link hints, scrolling, tab operations, and an advanced omnibar. It works on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge as a WebExtension written in TypeScript.

## Use cases
- navigate the web without a mouse
- vim-style keyboard shortcuts in the browser
- switch and manage tabs with the keyboard
- quickly open links using keyboard hints
- search bookmarks and history from an omnibar
- reduce reliance on mouse for browsing

## When to choose
- you want vim-like keyboard navigation across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge
- you need an enhanced fork of Vimium with an advanced omnibar and more commands
- you want fast keyboard-only tab and link operations

## When to avoid
- you prefer mouse-driven browsing or minimal extensions
- you need a non-browser desktop automation tool
- your browser doesn't support WebExtensions
