I've been a long-time Gmail user with a paid plan. But recently two issues are annoying me enough that I'm considering leaving:

1. The incessant "Using Gmail to run your business?" upsells. No, I'm unemployed and this is a personal account. Unlike the AI upsell, I can't seem to dismiss this permanently. It just snoozes it until the next time I open it.

2. The Search bar has become dangerously glitchy (at least in Firefox for Mac) if you type fast and have keyboard shortcuts on. It lets me type 1 or 2 characters before it starts treating every character as a shortcut, inadvertently deleting, muting, archiving emails. Search is what sets Gmail apart and now it is unusable. I reported this bug to Google months ago and my patience is running thin.



I've always found the Gmail search bar glitchy on Firefox but never on Chrome browsers.

I'll be typing something in the search box and suddenly I'll end up navigating somewhere with the keyboard focus having gotten removed from there.
