'f' stopped working in most recent versions of Chrome

[geg-mopo3]

After recent updates of Chrome 'f' key stopped working. Links don't get highlighted and numerated after pressing the key.

My current version is:
Version 80.0.3987.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

[artem-nefedov]

Not just f, but also q, mf, and so on - anything that requires highlighting.

[artem-nefedov]

Weirdly, it does work on YouTube for me, but not on other sites.

it doesn't work from my chrome as well, f. here is the version what i using.

Version 80.0.3987.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)

without f function that's quite complicated for me.

Same here. With Chrome
Version 80.0.3987.106 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)
only YouTube is working with f - no other page works.

[vmakarenko]

Same to me for cVim: 1.2.99
Chrome version 80.0.3987.106 (Official Build) (64-bit), Ubuntu

See @dcchambers fork here

Side note: I've migrated to use the 'vimium' extension - it provides an equivalent set of functionality and seems to be more actively maintained.

Press f to pay respects.

Just kidding, wanted to say this is happening for me too on Arch Linux Chromium 80.0.3987.87 (Official Build)

The latest version of chrome broke this because it deprecated Element.createShadowRoot. A fix has been submitted but has not been merged. For now you'll have to manually install the fix. Instructions here.

We're discussing the posibility of forking this into a maintained project as right now this project appears to no longer be maintained. See discussion here: #723

This is a dup of: #716
For a fix, see PR #719 or #724

lucky me, i just debug the code and solved this issue with just one line of code.

@robin521111
would you mind sharing how to do that?

@DavidGretzschel
check #724 and click on the link "832c0b6", at line 727.
good luck

Same here, waiting for update

Don't expect an update any time soon - this project is abandoned

Do you have any other recommendations?

Have already uninstall cVim...
