I use to have keyboardr.com as my default home page. keyboardr.com was website that acted as a interface to google searches, but allowed the user to browse the searches without having to use the mouse. But a few weeks ago, keyboardr.com started to simply redirect to google.com. I use vimium now, but it's not as fast.

Are there any sites or extensions similar to keyboardr?

You want a search engine where you can navigate between searches without using the mouse?

Try google.com.

Use the tab key, the enter key, etc. Shift + enter to open in a new window; ctrl + enter to open in a new tab. Alt + left arrow for back.

If this is missing your point, explain your point again!

Tab navigates between links on the page and enter opens that link.

Yeah, but I have to click Tab 19 times before I can navigate to the first link! Then 4-5 to navigate to each subsequent one!

You could always just use a mouse. I get the point of doing more with less but seriously? You're complaining about using not wanting to use a mouse?

I do find it odd that I'm able to google "gay cry baby ass mouse users" and be able to press tab once to take me to the first result, then able to use the arrow keys.

Here's the first link......https://theawl.com/a-complete-histor...5fe#.n9sotnm3c

One press of the Tab button for me too.

Try disabling any add-ons in Chrome, see if they are interfering.

People have different needs, the world doesn't revolve around you.
