Firenvim
Description from store

This Chrome extension lets you use Neovim directly from your browser. Contrary to other extensions, it does not open a new OS window.

In order to install it you need:
- This Chrome addon
- Neovim >=0.4.0
- The firenvim neovim plugin: https://github.com/glacambre/firenvim
- Once the firenvim neovim plugin is installed, run `:call firenvim#install()`

Literally my favorite extension. Nothing better was created for vim enjoyers

Life changer for spoiled nvimers. It's just a pain to have to use arrow keys in browser and this is the painkiller. (Tips: some nvim plugins will cause trouble (e.g., snacks dashboard), you will need to set to not load them when entering from firenvim)

After 2 weeks of firevim, I've turned off this extension and gone back to viminium and w3m. I love the idea and I'd love to see firevim dev team to continue working on this. But for now this extension is getting in my way a lot. It's alternating one of the key workflows I value so I'm sorry I'm disabling firevim. This is definitely a dream extension to have. Thank you for developing this. May be I'll use it again for some automation hack in the future, but for now I gotta say it's far from production quality.

It seemed great at first, but it has a lot of problems. It doesn't load every time. The instructions at the GitHub repo are loaded with errors that you'll need to understand Lua to correct. Worst of all, it has a tendency to leave a lot "nvim --headless" processes running even after the browser has been closed. This is not malicious, but it's also not production quality.

Great extensions, works well. It has some hiccups when trying to run the nvim terminal, but it’s mainly for text areas, so that’s ok.

Awesome!! Excellent combination with Vimium and Grepper!! Just had a bit of trouble to configure it at first, but it was my neovim who was misconfigured...

It's just perfect and I can't believe this didn't exist earlier. Honestly this is what GhostText should've been.

A developer dedicated to improving the extension means it is constantly improving. If you are a hard-core vimmer, this extension is amazingly freeing.

After so many years of wanting this, it's actually happening! I've used so many poor-man attempts at this that try to emulate vim like keys in the browser or shuffle data off to an external editor window. This is different! This is a full blown real instance of Neovim being run with my usual init.rc configuration and all my plugins ... overlayed on text areas. Yes it has some rough edges and not all sites work seamlessly yet, but this is clearly a step beyond all previous attempts at something like this.
