Will they permaban your account if you use this without first uninstalling your adblocker, under their "no modified clients" rule?

> Everyday 332 million people open Snapchat on their phones, and with our camera, can start conversations with their real friends. Today, we’re introducing Snapchat for Web, a new way for our community to stay connected through our camera when they’re at their computers.

> Open your laptop and head to web.snapchat.com using Chrome to start a call or pick up where chats left off on mobile.

And those 332 million people are being told to use Chrome and not Firefox. Indicating that Firefox has become totally irrelevant.

Good for Snap. I suspect this won't move the needle on young users - but I suspect it will probably help them recruit old sysadmins like myself. It's a sign of a still-directed-by-instinct and not KPI-uber-alles, which makes me happy to hold on to SNAP.

Well that's cool for users with rooted Android devices, which are currently blocked from logging in with an obscure error message.

They indirectly make early adopters upgrade to Snap+ just to see that it's still not available!

Ah, Snap loves being weird for the sake of being weird. Snapchat was a constant struggle for me (Gen Z) to operate before I stopped using it. The latest reminder for how hip and weird they are (in their world): The text "web.snapchat.com" is blue, underlined ... but not actually a clickable link. How cute, quirky and hip! The youngsters will love it.

I was interested by a web version few years ago... Now I think it's too late, I lost all imterest/curiosity for it.

Now that they have a web client they should consider making an official Tor service like Facebook and Twitter have. It has been used for activism in the past.
