Chrome broke keyboard shortcuts! (via search engines) - HELP

Chrome's latest update broke hundreds of keyboard shortcuts I've made over the years using their edit search engines feature, and I cannot find a workaround. I basically can't use my browser anymore. It's killing me.

Does anybody else use keyboard shortcuts to navigate to websites? What's the workaround? I'd be willing to switch browsers or install a dedicated app. I just would really love to preserve all the keyboard shortcuts I've made.

Review Google Chrome?

"Reviewers mostly see Chrome as the dependable default: fast, stable, easy to use, and especially strong for web apps, extensions, syncing, and Google service integration. Developers repeatedly single out DevTools as a major reason it stays their daily browser. The main complaint is just as consistent: Chrome can be heavy on RAM, CPU, and battery, especially with many tabs or extensions. Privacy comes up as a secondary concern. A few reviewers note recent gains from sleeping tabs, and makers of Teract and others praise Chrome’s extension platform."

I have been using Arc ever since it's released for early access. But once the direction is changed for the browser company to move the spot light to Dia and keep Arc on Life support was disappointing and after trying Dia for a while, all the performance and battery issues made me switch back to chrome. With vertical tab bar now introduced in chrome the gap is getting closer.

What needs improvement

Tab Groups: for anyone who's been using Arc for a while, Tab groups is the one this needs to be improved a lot on the chrome.

I've been using Google Chrome for years, and it continues to strike the perfect balance between performance, simplicity, and powerful features. ✅ What I love: Lightning-fast performance – Pages load quickly, even with multiple tabs open. Massive extension library – From productivity tools to dev utilities, the Chrome Web Store has it all. Google integration – Syncs bookmarks, history, passwords, and extensions across devices with a single login. Strong dev tools – As a developer, Chrome’s DevTools are unmatched in debugging and inspecting. Frequent updates – Security and feature rollouts are consistent and stable. 💡 Room for improvement: Resource-heavy – Chrome can be a RAM-hungry beast, especially with too many extensions. Battery drain – On laptops, it sometimes consumes more power compared to lighter browsers. 🧠 Final Thoughts: Google Chrome is a polished, reliable, and feature-rich browser that sets the standard. It's not perfect, but the ecosystem and user experience make it tough to beat. ⭐️ Rating: 4.7/5

Google Chrome is a fast, feature-rich web browser known for its smooth performance, strong extension support, and seamless syncing across devices using a Google account. It's widely used for its user-friendly interface and powerful developer tools, making it a favorite among both general users and professionals. However, it can consume significant system resources and has faced criticism for privacy concerns due to Google's data collection. Despite these drawbacks, Chrome remains one of the most reliable and widely adopted browsers globally.
