Yes, there is, to block this by default, set 'permissions.default.shortcuts' to 2.
I just found out that doing that does not prevent shortcuts from the extension to work contrary to what I just posted although I'm sure that when I tested this yesterday it did...:) So this is a step in the right direction.
Then I'm still left with sites stealing focus preventing shortcuts to work. Even though Vimium has an option to prevent sites from doing it, it is not fool proof. YouTrack/Upsource for example insist on stealing focus, so when I'm happily switching tabs using shortcuts as soon as I stumble upon YouTrack/Upsource I have to grab the mouse again :'(.
I loved VimFX and am in the same boat - It was really the best browsing experience.
I remember being upset for months when they killed XUL.
Wish Mozilla would finally start being their old self again and create a browser that is truly customizable. Call it Firefox Pro, I would happily pay for that. But instead we get “Colorways”..
Yeah, the browser situation sucks and it's getting worse by the day.
> I remember being upset for months when they killed XUL.
You know what, still a week does not pass without me mourning the death XUL...
I'm currently using Waterfox quite a bit. VimFX is still somewhat maintained[1] and works with Waterfox Current.
It should be added that this browser is owned by an adtech company called System1. But my only alternatives at this point is surfing in a straitjacket (without VimFX) or using Waterfox. Haven't really found any apparent wrongdoings by System1 yet, but I guess it's a matter of time...
And, since plenty of other people are name dropping similar extensions/addons to Vimium (like Tridactyl, Vimari, Vim Vixen etc.), I might as well add they all suffer from the same shortcoming as Vimium C and Vimium-FF because they're all WebExtensions. VimFX is not.
How to learn reverse engineering... Good question.
First of all, nowadays, free interactive tools like Ghidra drastically accelerate the reverse engineer process. Ghidra's decompiler is able to produce actually reasonable C-like source code in many cases. So, if you want to jump right into the water, do the following:
- Write a small C program and compile it
- Install Ghidra
- Load the binary of your program into Ghidra
- Try to make sense of what you see :)
That's a quite cumbersome way to learn, though, although there are several Youtube videos that follow that approach. Modern decompilers are good, but they are still far from perfect, especially when applied to highly optimized machine code. Often, the output of the decompiler only makes sense when you have the assembly code next to it. Therefore, I highly recommend to first learn programming in assembly, which includes understanding how code and data are represented in main memory, how the stack works, how OS functions are called, etc. The good news: once you have understood how a particular CPU and computer architecture work, you can transfer that knowledge easily to other architectures. Therefore, maybe just start with x86 if your computer has an AMD or Intel CPU: http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/pgubook/Pro...
Once you can read and write assembly language, you can go back to Ghidra and disassemble some programs for which you have the source code. That will teach you a lot about how compilers translate high-level languages to machine code. You will later discover that hand-written machine code sometimes look very different from compiler-generated code.
There is also what I call the platform specific part. That one really depends on the type of programs you want to reverse engineer. For example, if you want to reverse engineer a text adventure written for MS-DOS, the only platform-specific things you will encounter in the code are the four or five BIOS calls necessary for printing text, reading the keyboard, etc. That's something you can easily look up in the Internet without any deeper knowledge of MS-DOS or IBM-compatible PCs. On the other hand, if you are working on an Amiga game, it helps to be familar with the hardware and to be able to recognize the typical series of instructions that are needed to query the state of the mouse buttons etc.
Whenever I read these kind of salaries I feel like I’m doing something fundamentally wrong.
30yo, European based with lousy 60k/year. With the rising real estate prices I probably won’t even be able to afford a house in my lifetime.
(Except maybe with a working SO - but even then until I’m too old for work)
I’d say if it’s it just about earning more money maybe work overtime for a little salary boost. Hard to beat that $/h.
Ya totally all of these "idiot" devs with the patience and drive to grind Leetcode and that now have the skills accumulated from working at a FAANG will be jobless. Lol.
I would, but what address should I use? I mean, I could just write to [email protected] or whatever, but I would be amazed if that would return anything.
They do not announce an official mail contact anywhere. Looks like they don't actually want to really get in contact with their (potential) users.

I don’t work as a Designer but I do dabble in web development and design in my free time.
Would gladly take a look at some designs and lend my eyes for some critique/advice.
