Ctrl F doesn't help you navigate links.

If you're in Gmail - all you have to do is type "inb" and push "enter" and it will take you to the inbox.

Ctrl F will only show you matches on the page that match "inb". It doesn't focus on links, and it doesn't help you easily navigate to that link.

There's a video demo that explains this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7wGtyeEoKQ

Ah gotcha, thanks for replying! I think I'm seeing how this ends up being useful in a lot of sites for navigation. That's a pretty "simple" change to normal searching that feels like it can do a lot, which is really cool. I'll give this a try at some point soon.
