Description
Describe the bug
There is another button behind the SK. For this exact example, it is not a problem, however with other websites I have had to use a mouse because the button I need to press is hidden behind another button. For example,
The hidden button is SK, which I figured out because of guesswork and the K being visible. Unfortunately, no such luck on this;
I understand that this is a poor website design, however
a) this whole panel is clickable
b) the f buttons should have a proximity radar, to check if they are actually visible
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to URL

f

Research direction
Reproduce the problem by opening the linked Google search and pressing f in Vimium 1.67 on Chrome. Investigate how generated f buttons are positioned and determine how overlapping buttons can remain distinguishable and clickable; done when the hidden targets in this example and similar pages can be selected without using the mouse.
