IME this breaks paste functionality in some web apps (eg. certain terminal emulators or text editors)
Who’s using terminal emulators and text editors in their browser? Actually, don’t answer that. I’m afraid of the answer.

Bookmarklets are seriously undervalued. This is a simple and more importantly readable fix for the issue.
I wish firefox would let the wonderbar '*' search feature work with bookmarklets... As it stands I have a few I'll never use because they're 4+ clicks away with no typeable shortcut.

Is there a way I can tell my browser to always force draging over text to secelt that text, regardless if its a hyperlink?
By disabling user input the application security actually gets worse. Users that can’t copy e.g. passwords will use less complex passwords to overcome the trouble of typing in their initially good passwords. But also user experience is degrading when applications enforce complex input and users generate that input like a chad as they should. But now they cannot paste…
I'll add to that systems that require particular characters to be used, like "must use capital, number and special character". I prefer to generate longer passwords but using only regular characters because I find it easier to type on the occasions I do have to do that. Even worse, there are some that restrict what kind of special character you can use. So even when I've generated one I still have to edit to remove o…
Even worse, there are some that restrict special characters, but don't tell you which!

Well, for Ctrl+F there is sometimes a reason. Many websites uses technique called virtualization of lists. That boosts performance, but standard Ctrl+F doesn't works anymore properly
I know of 2 websites that do this. 1. Confluence It's super annoying and takes up a lot of screen space 2. Nexus It simply kills it. You can use ctrl-f but it simply will not find text right in front of you.. Really i see no valid case
