potentiallynotfelixSomehow snapchat for web doesn't support firefox đ¤Ś
Taasz/WoofI imagine the overlap of people who use Snapchat and people who use Firefox is pretty small, they probably see such a small amount of users with Firefox and they just decided not to support it.
In this day and age itâs more work to explicitly not support a browser than it is to support itâŚ
owenfromcanadaSort of. I imagine the idea is they only need to test on Chromium-based browsers.
So often just swapping the user agent from Firefox to Chrome makes these sites work flawlessly. So theyâre putting in extra code to detect Firefox and serve a âwe donât support your browserâ when they could just⌠not. And if a user complains about X, they could say we donât test on Firefox, try on Chrome.
Yeah, but by putting up the âwe donât support thisâ banner, they wonât have to deal with the complaints in the first place.
Itâs also possible they want people to use Chromium for telemetry or other data-collection reasons, not sure.
I wonder if itâs possible that theyâre paid money by Google to not support Firefox?
Tag365Maybe theyâre trying to become the new Internet Explorer?
OtterAnother side I havenât seen mentioned
It might be easier to track users in Chrome. If even a few users open it in chrome instead of Firefox, thatâs a benefit for them
Yeah, Iâm sure Chrome works well with Google Analytics tools which seem to be on every site nowadaysâŚ

I canât imagine what possible decision led to this for a utility company used by millions.
Even if true, do you support this funnel approach?

I argue it's 0, as it does not work.Itâs a joke, I know what you are meaning; you meant using both separately. ___
Snapchat has been a shit company for years. They threatened to sue third party client developers for Windows Phone, they purposely degrade camera quality on Android, etc (For awhile on Android they were just screenshotting the viewfinder instead of actually using the camera APIs.)
yeah, snapchat is far from open source and privacy respecting đ
