How can I stop a web site from taking over my browser?

Example: When I visit a web site, it blocks my keyboard short cuts such as copy and paste.

I want to use these short cuts when I need them.

the simplest solution, yet effective. However, disabling JavaScript may cause other functions stop working. – Shivan Raptor Oct 28 '09 at 9:28
Don't forget to disable flash as well. – kaba Oct 28 '09 at 10:27

If there is a specific site you use a lot that does this, you could use a Greasemonkey script to re-enable the thing they took out, but I don't think that is a general solution.

Greasemonkey? On Internet Explorer? – Joey Oct 28 '09 at 10:21
