Thanks for the explanation!

Is there any chance to move away from the Discourse? It's a bit too slow (on any page opening), but the biggest issue is its hostile habit of catching the browser "find in page" hotkey (replacing the local find with the remote site search).

I hate that feature with an intensity that's hard to describe.

I know you can press it again or something but for the love of $deity don't fuck with the defaults.

That said I'm equally angry my browser so happily allows this.

Sure if it's a proper web application like OnShape then sure, override default key bindings, but ask me first and remember my choice. If I say no then just don't feed those keystrokes to the webpage.

This. Just this. I'd say websites should be able to "offer" their own search, so when you do find-in-page it shows the default search with a button to "change to custom website search ([ ] remember)" or so.

Hint: on most websites, you can press Ctrl+l to focus the address bar, and then Ctrl+f isn't hijacked by the current page any more.

Still wish pages would stop hijacked hot-keys in the first place, but hope this helps.

While I do understand the frustration, I think the "find in page" hotkey isn't a big enough reason to change the platform. Myself, I am happy with the performances. By the way, what would you replace it with?
