    Some websites autofocus on input fields as you open a page. That makes some Vimium functions difficult to use because you have to quit the input field first.

    Is it possible to disable autofocus at all from Vimium or another third-party Chrome extension?

    You can disable javascript autofocus in Chrome using extension TamperMonkey. (Firefox's GreaseMonkey for Chrome)

    Once you've installed it in chrome, you can download this user script:

    It works fine with Vimium and lets you use mail.google.com with vimium extension.

    Okay, it does not work 100% of the time, but it sure helps.

    Other scripts (if it doesn't work for a specific website)

    • Unfocuser extension from the same website...

    • custom@earthwithsun and add it to the extension manually.

    At the moment it is not possible to disable 'autofocus' with Google Chrome. I could see it being an annoyance, but it's going to have to remain that way for now.

    Maybe you could be the one to build the extension :)

    I don't want some extensions running all the time taking up all my RAM but I don't want to have to enable them from the extensions page all the time. Anyway to disable them but keep their icon in the bar for quick reenable?

    As far as I can tell, you don't either they are running or they aren't.

    Well I decided to install the Extensions Button which leaves them just one extra click away.
