Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed Visual mode steps in Chrome: select text, press P, open the new tab, then return with J. Trace the handling of the P action, the new-tab transition, and the origin tab's keystroke handling; done means Vimium keystrokes work again in the origin tab.
