What I’m Missing in Google Chrome: Mouseless browsing

In Firefox, I have the Mouseless Browsing plugin installed, which lets me hit a key to label links with numbers, then type the number to follow the link. But even without MLB, you can browse mouselessly with the typeahead search – type ‘/’, then start typing the text of the link, and when the link you want is highlighted, hit enter. In Chrome, you can only tab between links, not jump directly to the one you want (even with the search function). That is, you can search for link text, and it will highlight it, but you cannot then select the link without tabbing to it from the beginning.
