Annoyances
CTRL-F misuse
When pressing CTRL-F it is expected the browser search is activated. However more and more websites catch CTRL-F and use it for themselves. More often then not keybindings can not be changed on an individual level and need to be changed for everybody by the administrator of the server the website is hosted on. This is almost inpossible get accomplished for visitors and it is not always a desired solution
A workaround is to first click in the addressbar, so it has focus, and then do CTRL-F so the CTRL-F is not chatched by the website and you can search as you are used to in the webpage
