Right up there with hijacking Ctrl-F.
And overriding Ctrl+K without even being so good as to give way when you type it a second time. Assholes.
Is there a way I can tell my browser to always force draging over text to secelt that text, regardless if its a hyperlink?
Hold alt and then select text with left-click drag. It works most of the time. Enjoy :)
like when you get trolled by Atlassian's crap tier website where the wiki/jira-pages do not allow selecting some text blocks (and makes it even harder to tell somebody to browser-page-search for a particular string)
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…

'Find in page' is now so broken on modern websites that the keyboard shortcut is the last of our problems.
"Find in page" will only show a result if it is visible on the page (even though the scrollbar indicates the full vault has loaded, and even after scrolling down to the desired result and then back up).
They have a "Search vault" field that works fine, so it's not a major inconvenience, but the first few times I've Ctrl+F'd a newly added site and gotten "Phrase not found" when I know I added credentials? That's a mild anxiety I'd rather not have.
I could be convinced there's a security-related reason for this---in fact, I never really thought about it until now---but then I'd assume anyone able to get access to your vault can use Selenium and fill in the "Search vault" input field.

> Even worse, there are some that restrict what kind of special character you can use Even worse , there are some that restrict special characters, but don't tell you which! Now you've got to go trial and error to find out which of the special characters in your password is not acceptable to that precious §("/$& website!

Who’s using terminal emulators and text editors in their browser? Actually, don’t answer that. I’m afraid of the answer.
Never heard of Jupyter Notebook? And services like AWS also have editors and terminals, just like countless other sites.

Stripe’s API documentation does this and it gives me the shits, because it seizes up my M2 MacBook Pro for several seconds. I can’t believe that it’s 2024, and I can’t simply grep some documentation.
The Vimperator/Tridactyl (Firefox VI shortcuts extension) search / is not hijacked on the Stripe API documention.
It's possible to write your own user script to do it (you just need to add a keypress event handler that does preventDefault() and maybe stopPropagation()) with no need for Tridactyl :)

Even worse, when on top of all these they add an arbitrary length requirement: It can't be less than 8 letters OR more than 12. :|
Do we really have to put up with vulgarity even on HN? It's bad enough to see it in the title--cause someone will say that's what the title is--but, as can be seen, it breeds unnecessary vulgarity throughout this thread. To see the irony of it all, I'll get fucking downvoted for fucking complaining about this fucking shit and maybe get really fucked up by getting fucking banned. Do you get my fucking point?
