Description
I disable JavaScript for pages a lot.
I use Chrome built-in functionality for that, but I tried ScriptSafe as well.
With both Vimium does not act on the page if JavaScript is disabled.
Since Feb 2012 extensions should work even if JavaScript is disabled on a page,
as per Chromium bug 90843.
Chrome 25.0.1364.5 (Official Build 174090) dev on Linux
Vimium 1.42
Perhaps it's something about the way you choose to inject content scripts?
I really like Vimium and I really want to use it. :(

Research direction

Done means Vimium responds normally on pages where JavaScript is disabled, including when ScriptSafe is used.
