Chrome extension mouseless software#
Open-source software isn’t inherently secure, but the fact that anybody can inspect the code provides some protection against misuse and violation of privacy. (It’s a necessary evil of keyboard capture.)

The add-ons I recommend are all open-source, which is important, since as your browser will warn you when you install them, these add-ons have full access to everything you type. If you want the best possible mouseless browsing experience and are willing to put up with a level of inconvenience, qutebrowser is for you. If you’re a power user and/or Vim user, you might also consider Surfingkeys. If you use Firefox or Chrome, you should use Vimium C. If you want more features, you’ll have to switch browsers. If you use Safari, your only option is Vimari. If you’re here for recommendations and recommendations only, here you go. Note: I don’t use Chrome or Chromium-based browsers, but the add-ons I recommend seem to have feature parity across Firefox and Chrome.
Whichever you choose, you’ll see an increase in your browsing speed and general web productivity, and your wrists will thank you. In this article, I’ll distill months of experimentation and recommend several options that make the mouseless browsing dream into a reality. I’m a fan of Vim, to put it lightly, and I’ve spent too much time researching and testing mouseless browsing methods. Out of the box, your options are to forgo speed and keep your hand fixed on your mouse, or risk RSI and dance the mouse-to-keyboard-to-mouse-and-back dance.īut there’s hope.
And the modern web is built on making users click on things. Modern web browsers have built-in keyboard shortcuts, but those shortcuts fail when you need to click on something. Surprisingly, browsing the web falls into the category of tasks best handled without a mouse. Heaven or hell, depending on who you ask.
