Description
I really like Chrome and Vimium. However right now I am using Firefox due to Vimfx. One of the reasons is that I use visual mode quite frequently and I find the implementation of caret/visual mode much easier in vimfx than in vimium.
By hitting 'v', Vimfx first displays hints just like when you hit 'f', which allows to you go right away to the sentence, box, or sometimes word that you want to highlight in visual mode, which I find it extremely faster and convenient over searching for a keyword first and then enter visual mode in vimium.
It woud be great if you could implement this feature. Thanks in advance.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the existing visual-mode entry point and the hint behavior used by the 'f' command, then determine how pressing 'v' could invoke hints before selection; done means visual mode can jump directly to a hinted sentence, box, or word.
