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 …

So, to make sure I understand: you actually use a dotfiles repo and include your Tridactyl config there? I have some dotfiles repos I use, I just hadn't considered integrating it in yet. I was hoping that there was a way to JUST sync Tridactyl via Firefox or something.

Yup. I've had a dotfiles repo in my
$HOME for years. I'd share it, but it'd be too much work to audit it and clean it up. (Which I should do some day.) Here's my tridactylrc though:https://gist.github.com/BurntSushi/393546a65db38d57cedcfd72c6d89bf3 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Got it. I was unwilling to commit it to my `vim` repo (https://github.com/erichdongubler-dotfiles/vim/ …), but that feels silly in retrospect with branching in Git. I guess I'm just worried about being reverted to the defaults in some situation...and I don't like Tridactyl defaults. :P Have you seen VCSH?

Nah. I prefer to keep things simple. When it comes to my files, the fewer abstractions the better.
