Re: Snapchat for Web
#12> 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…
Yup, they may add support for Safari and call it a day. Hopefully they don't treat Firefox the same way they treated Windows Phone.

#13Ah, 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.
There is an anchor around the domain text - just missing an href attribute. Probably due to the rich text editor used to draft the blog post.

#14Now 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.
I don't know if that's irony, but do you really think that putting a service which cannot be trusted on Tor makes it trustworthy?

#15Isn't that a bit... too late?

#16Well that's cool for users with rooted Android devices, which are currently blocked from logging in with an obscure error message.
It's not meant for mobile phones (who can install the Snapchat app already), clearly targeted for desktop users as a companion app

#17I think this is still relevant for young people. I.e. graduating college and wanting to retain your popularity & digital social life as you work your 9-5 on a company computer .

I wouldn't normally bring this up but in this case it's a significant oversight: Did you read the comment you've replied to?
Grandparent comment explicitly states a rooted android phone cannot install the Snapchat app.
Snap has ensured it cannot work on a rooted device (as bank apps also do) to make it difficult to mess with the binary and end up saving or harvesting temporarily viewable content like snaps of genitalia or whatever people use snap for.

No, but there is a use case for people whose threat model allows for identifying themselves to Snapchat but not for being identified by their ISP or government. Access has also been blocked in various countries over the years and a Tor service restores access.
