In the past, when I implemented shortcuts for web applications, I used different ones for different browsers: for example Ctrl+Shift+A was used in Chrome, but would be something else, like Ctrl+Shift+C in Firefox, since Firefox reserves the Ctrl+Shift+A shortcut for add-ons.
Actually, I have a project where it would be nice to have the same shortcuts for every browser.
Is there a list of shortcuts which are not reserved in any major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE and Opera) or do I have to do my own by listing?
Google wasn't helpful, since it rather shows the list of shortcuts which are common to all major browsers.

As you seem to be approaching it, this is probably going to be futile. At best, you're going to come up with a very small list of combinations that don't conflict in the base browsers, then find out that there are plenty of add-ons that then go ahead and use them which are common enough to be a problem anyway.
You should avoid the standard patterns like Ctrl+[letter] altogether. There are JS libraries like Mousetrap that make this easy. For example, one of its options binds your functions to Shift+[foo] patterns instead.
