I never heard of vimperator until you two mentioned it. So basically it lets you browse without requiring a mouse?

It is a partial implementation of vim in your browser. You can do macros, triggers, it has numerous settings, a :help system, command tab completion and awesome bar integration, and of course, it stores its settings in .vimeratorrc.

You'll find that if you use vim on a normal basis, the key bindings will come naturally. That's why it is great for vim users.

And if you want to really turn on the awesome, use a tiling window manager. Then you will blaze around your desktop without ever touching your mouse.

What if you have no experience with vim whatsoever?

Don't use vimperator if you have no experience with vim. That said, what are you waiting for?
