nickaugust··on Show HN: gleeBox, keyboard glee for your web
I use vimperator as well. it gives you the ability to follow links using the keyboard (same tab, new tab, copy link) as well as all the bookmarky shortcut stuff that gleebox does. Combine it with a keyboard based window manager (like StumpWM) and you can (almost) throw your mouse away!
