The shortcut keys to go to the next and previous page

I believe that many managed to notice that Habrahabr abandoned the old keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + arrows to scroll pages in tapes and hubs ( Ctrl + β†’ to go forward to the page, Ctrl + ← to go back to the page) in favor of Alt + arrow keys ( Alt + β†’ to go to the page forward, Alt + ← to go to the page back).

This change seems to me inconvenient for two reasons.

Firstly, in several popular browsers (for example, in Mozilla Firefox), the Alt + keyboard shortcuts are used to go back and forth through the browsing history: the Alt + β†’ combination is perceived as the β€œForward” command (as the β€œβ†’β€ button on the browser toolbar) , therefore, it either does not work, or it does not work correctly (it does not scroll through the pages of the tape or hub, but proceeds to a blog entry from which the browser just returned to the tape or hub after clicking on the "←" button). The Alt + ← combination is perceived as the β€œBack” command (as the β€œβ†β€ button on the browser toolbar), therefore it also does not work correctly.
')
Secondly, I use the Birman layout , in which the right Alt key is redefined. Therefore, the keyboard shortcuts Alt + arrows must be typed with the left Alt (two hands), whereas the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + arrows I could use one (right) hand.

In addition, for visitors to those sites where the Ctrl + arrow keys are used for paging pages (and such are, for example, the search results of Yandex or the idiot Lebedev), the habrahrabrovsky combination will turn out to be unusual.
