Today, let's learn how to browse websites without using the mouse. This works on internet browsers through extensions. If you are using Chrome, there is an extension called Vimium, by which you can surf the internet without touching the mouse. It works by using keyboard shortcuts for web navigation.

If you want to go to a link, see which letter is shown over that link and press that letter on your keyboard. By doing that the browser will redirect you to that link.
Step 3 - You can customize many things in Vimium, like custom key mappings, adding custom search engines and so on.
