Description
Vimium's link hints feature is a lifesaver for me. Unfortunately, lots of websites use links that aren't really tags. This makes Vimium not see these links as clickable, and therefore not support them in link hints. I really wish that Vimium's configuration had a field where I could put in a list of CSS selectors that will always be seen as clickable by Vimium, and therefore usable in link hints.
