Around ten years ago, I switched to Google Chrome from Firefox when it was released. I've gotten tired of Chrome's slowness, so I've been experimenting with Firefox again over the last couple weeks and have made the full switch over!

Also, kudos to Tridactyl for being my Vimium replacement. I love that it supports a simple config file. Here's mine:https://gist.github.com/BurntSushi/393546a65db38d57cedcfd72c6d89bf3 …

What made you switch to Tridactyl from Vimium? I'm a heavy Vimium user right now, never looked terribly hard at alternatives besides their extension summaries.

Well, I used Vimium in Chrome. When I switched to Firefox, I don't think I realized Vimium was available, and I heard others mention Tridactyl, so that's what I tried and I like it a lot.

After some experience with Tridactyl, here's my thoughts: 1) Tridactyl's config is REALLY great, lets me get parity with Vimium if I want and then branch out from there. 2) I really wish there were an easy way to sync Tridactyl config when working with multiple machines.

Oh, I solved (2) pretty easily. I installed its native messenger and put my config into a file that's tracked in git. It automatically carries over to all my machines just like the rest of my config. There's an example here:https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/.tridactylrc …

I did briefly try without the native messenger and rely on standard firefox sync, but I couldn't get that to work in a predictable way and lost all my settings at least once. Going the native messenger route has been rock solid. Also lets me keep my Javascript snippets organized.

Plus, native messenger lets you write in textareas with your favorite editor, and it actually works well. e.g., `set editorcmd terminal -e tmux -u new vim -S /home/andrew/.vim/tridactyl.vim`
