    You really want to memorise different shortcuts for search? What if you’re on a web app like discord? Ctrl+f isn’t gonna be as useful as a built in search solution that has access to data that isn’t visible until searched for. I get the issues on disabling the features but if they’re replacing browser behaviour with something that suits the site better I think that’s alright as long as it’s not s downgrade.

      All too often it is a downgrade though. A lot of those webapps have terrible search and I only want to search for what is on the current page anyways. For example reddit search has been notoriously bad for a long time. Half the forums online seem to be using the exact same open source software with the exact same terrible search. When all too often I just want to find what is on the current page anyways.
