Yes, I realize it was probably Google doing Google things to hurt Firefox, but day-to-day, I need a browser that works. So switching to a Chromium-based browser that had things like ad-block and other features I consider important was the best solution.
I'd considering paying Twitter $8/month if it was no ads. Or, you know, I just keep using Tweetbot for $10/year and there's zero ads there and a straight reverse chronological timeline to boot.
2FA is a major hassle for support when users get locked out because they smash their phone or change phone numbers or somehow lose access to the 2FA method.

Literally yesterday I showed up at the airport, armed with two reservations for a mid-sized SUV. Neither company had one and both companies were the same parent. I ended up with a smaller car than I "reserved".
