Special mentions to the github actions log output, which not only overrides ctrl+f with their own search, but have a completely broken search. Which means logs are unsearchable. Thanks a lot.

Unless they're doing something wonky like hiding content that is not in the viewport (thus reimplementing scrolling), you may be able to work around that by using ctrl-f from the URL bar, denying them the opportunity to hijack ctrl-f. So ctrl-l ctrl-f.

A Firefox extension I want (or maybe I'll make one day) would be one that prevents javascript from detecting any key input while holding right ctrl or left ctrl specifically.

Does it open the browser search if you press ^F a second time?
