With the new google search result layout on Chrome, the hint doesn't appear on each sites' links.

- Go to any google search result page with Chrome for example 'https://www.google.com/search?q=test'
- Press 'f' key to start "Open a link in the current tab"
Browser and Vimium version

Reproduce the issue at https://www.google.com/search?q=test in Chrome 87.0.4280.67 using Vimium 1.66, then press f on the Google results page. Compare the behavior with another search engine and Firefox. Done means hints appear on each Google result link in Chrome without breaking the existing cases.
