I'm actually looking for somehing a lot simpler: vi/Emacs keybindings and a better mouseless browsing experience in general.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm looking for such features in Chrome.

I use the Mouseless Browsing add-on in Firefox. It basically adds a number next to all the links on a page, for example you press ctrl + 21 and the link opens. It also can be turned on/off with a shortcut.

I could never get myself to use that; it's possibly because I refuse to remap one control key to the caps lock.

I usually navigate by searching for some substring of the link.

Have you tried the Firemacs extension for Firefox? I use it with Emacs bindings, but I think it should be able to do an approximation of vi bindings as well.

I'm really sorry for not making myself clear: I meant that I would start using Chrome if it had such a feature.

And yeah, Firemacs is awesome. As a matter of fact, it does allow for navigation using some vi bindings by default. Even though I'm an Emacs guy, I find using hjkl a lot more comfortable than C-b C-n C-p C-f. I've heard great thing about vimperator, too.
