Do you use a keyboard to browse the internet?
On unfamiliar codebases a mouse with back and forward buttons can be quite a fast and convenient way to get the "lie of the land".
I often do this inside GitHub's browser-based editor.

Yes, using the vimium extension. My only problem is text inputs like this one, my muscle memory expects vim keys to work and I type a lot of jibberish that I have to clean up. I know there are extensions for that too but I can live with it.
Tridactyl has a native extension that lets you run external programs, such as popping up a gvim window for text inputs.
