Do any major browsers have a setting to disable overriding default keyboard shortcuts? It's one of those anti-features like popup windows or page transitions or custom scroll bar colors that nobody would miss if it was never invented.
There is a special place in hell for people who override PgUp/PgDown or the arrow keys in their webpages.

Except for game developers, maps developers, in-browser document editors, presentation viewers, etc. The web isn't just hypertext any more, and part of making the browser a powerful platform is having features that could be misused.
