> can you even get a decent vim extension like we had with vimperator
Just FYI, Qutebrowser[1] is a wonderful Vim-like chromium browser inspired by vimperator, VimFX, and the like. It is not extensible, unfortunately, and the web's worst websites will break its functionality. But it has Adblock built-in, and running in Firejail[2] it's about as secure as a browser can be.
I used to use qutebrowser, actually, because I (obviously) found the vim integration to be best in breed. I still had to use both Chrome and Firefox to fill the gaps, though, and for working on our own pages.
Currently I use Tridactyl for FF, which is decent. There are some annoyances and it seems to me to have some performance issues (using it on BitBucket's pages seems to be particularly bad sometimes...?) but it's good enough and certainly better than I've had in Chrome.
On top of that, my qutebrowser usage had to be complemented because of the other extensions like tab containers and tab groups. I use tab containers for when I want to sandbox certain tabs into their own little bubbles which is particularly useful for work (logging in on two completely separate sessions alongside eachother, for example).
