Another update again, twiter started to return "This browser is no longer supported." page for fav and following pages.
If anyone finds a way to fetch static page, let's communicate please!

We just started testing Twint a few days ago and most worked fine except for USER profile data null returns, and now this ISSUE, which I would agree is a "browser" response issue. But I don't know much to understand twint yet. I did something similar to twint with a non-python app that does more scraping of data and has similar problems but more is related to cookies/browser emulation.
As per above issue, my test environment was Linux Mint and ubuntu 18.3-20. pip3. (3.7+) all responding with the same error.
