Please don't hijack HN threads with unrelated gripes about the modern the web and please don't pretend to speak for the world.

  Unrelated? CTRL+F is literally in the title...

    It is. But the article doesn't talk about hijacking its behaviour.

    And only in the title. It doesn't mention the keyboard shortcut once in the body because it's not about keyboard shortcuts, it's about "linking directly to web page content". In addition to unrelated gripes, it's generally considered bad practice to comment only based on the title.

      You _know_ somebody will be thinking about hijacking CTRL+F with this.

        I appreciate the effort to retcon your comment, but I'm afraid it creates too many plot holes for me to buy it.

  I have to agree. Normally I think related side notes are fine. Heck, I’m guilty myself. But nowadays I always open the link first to make sure it's the right topic and to make sure it’s not addressed in the article. Often leads to a better response as well. Yes, we know scroll-jacking or any other override of browser behavior is extremely disliked here.
