That's what I used to do but sites like Twitter unload content to not make your browser tab super slow (which is a good thing in general), which breaks ctrl+f.
Which is useless if elements outside the viewport are garbage collected because you are browsing a virtual list. Instagram is an example but they don't have text in the elements so it's not a huge hindrance.
