please. please. i am begging you. i am on my knees. stop intercepting / and ctrl-k for website search. they are default fucking browser shortcuts

@eevee in case you didn't know, at least in Firefox setting keyboard shortcuts is a privilege you can revoke on a per-website basis

@noiob @eevee Where is that setting? because I, too, am really frustrated by sites that think that overriding / as search-in-page to mean "focus our search box" is fucking asinine

@noiob @eevee Hm, I found the per-page "override keyboard shortcuts" permissions and it has no effect on youtube, which is one of those sites where I'm constantly annoyed by this

and apparently there's bugs where blocking shortcut overrides also makes text input boxes stop working right, because apparently backspace then becomes "go back" instead of "delete character"

@noiob i know but i don't want to disable ALL of them i just want to not have my STANDARD FUCKIN BROWSER OPERATIONS TAKEN OVER
