Description
Describe the bug
Since I started using vimium, I noticed a weird behavior across multiple sites that goes as follows: whenever I press f, I would see that some parts of the web page have multiple hint (sometimes overlaying that you can't actually see the complete key sequence). See the screenshots below for examples. I am not sure if this is the intended behavior,
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to any YouTube Video URL 'https://youtu.be/jeRSReSbxjw?si=NbvmJiXL_r7y-MXN'
- Press
fto view the hints.
NOTE: I am not sure that it's reproducible or not because I remember using Vimium on a friend's machine I didn't have these issues.
Include a screenshot if applicable.

Compare the behavior with the GitHub example and determine whether multiple hints on one component are expected; done means the intended hint behavior is established and the reported overlap is addressed.
