the better way to navigate the web

🪝 nav - vim style keyboard navigation for the web

NOTE: Google does not allow nav to run on the Chrome Web Store page or the Chrome New Tab page by design. Unfortunately, this restriction is enforced by Chrome and cannot be bypassed.

NOTE: Chrome may display strong or alarming permission warnings when installing nav. These permissions are required so nav’s JavaScript can run on web pages and provide keyboard navigation features. nav does not collect, store, or transmit any of your data, and it does not communicate with external servers. Everything runs locally in your browser. If you're curious, the source code is fully open and available to review.

Take full control of your browser with nav — a fast, fully configurable extension that transforms the way you move through the web.
Stop reaching for your mouse. Scroll, switch tabs, open links, search pages, copy URLs, and navigate history — all from your keyboard. nav is built for speed, precision, and flow, giving you a smoother and more focused browsing experience.
Designed to stay lightweight yet powerful, nav adapts to your workflow with customizable hotkeys, URL-based rules, and fully adjustable hint styling.
