alt Hacker NewsCtrl+f is a bad offender. No I don't want to use your contextual search. I want to search for this word on this page!

Half of the time those sites also lazy load anyway so whatever you're looking for isn't even in the DOM yet

Yeah, super annoying when that happens. A workaround is to click the address bar (or press ctrl+l unless that's been hijacked too) and then do ctrl+f.

Just use Ctrl+G - it does almost the exact same thing as Ctrl+F

Ctrl-f for page search and ctrl-k for website search[1].

If the page is lazy loading content then the local ctrl+f is not going to work, obviously.
If you’re hinting at an argument about whether lazy loading content should exist, that’s a separate discussion. In my experience, pages that override ctrl+f do it for a good reason
