Well, for Ctrl+F there is sometimes a reason. Many websites uses technique called virtualization of lists. That boosts performance, but standard Ctrl+F doesn't works anymore properly


I know of 2 websites that do this. 1. Confluence It's super annoying and takes up a lot of screen space 2. Nexus It simply kills it. You can use ctrl-f but it simply will not find text right in front of you..

Really i see no valid case


DOS emulator and Vim emulator, and that's almost all I can imagine. Maybe games that would use the control key as an additional input---but in the browser???


github code editor is a big one


The good sites allow you to hit ctrl f twice to get browser's find feature.
