Any way to disable automatic unloading of text & elements (virtual DOM / DOM unloading)? They break functionality like CTRL F (lemmy.world)

I don't want text to be unloaded from pages because then I can't see all the results on the CTRL F box. This happens on Discourse forums and New New Reddit (its too bad they removed the 2018 redesign).

You'd probably have to write custom JavaScript or find a solution on a per-site basis, because it's the same loading JavaScript that also performs the unloading.
