Last time I tried Vivaldi (over a year ago), the browser shortcuts were taking precedence over website shortcuts. I noticed this in Google Sheets and others. I hope that's fixed now

Firefox is likely to remain my default browser, but there's a lot to like about Vivaldi.

I feel that's how it should be.

OS > Browser > Browser Extension > Website

Using some sites(JIRA in particular) in Firefox is painful as they just capture every keypress/combo regardless of whether they need it or not. Yes, it's lazy on the website devs part but that is why I think they should be last in line.

You're not wrong, but what I meant is that they were conflicts, and the browser's shortcuts took precedence. Like Ctrl+b to bold text and others. Many threads were open on this problem on the Vivaldi forum. I was not used to this with Chrome and Firefox, so it surprised me.

It's fixed now, Vivaldi behaves like the others with keyboard shortcuts.
