I know I can spoof my useragent, it’s just ridiculous that such a massive app doesn’t support an equally massive browser.

    I doubt that a company with billions in revenue and thousands of coders is going to change mind after that. They exactly know how many people are getting the error and intentionally decided to implement it

      At the same time, the variables in that calculation might change over time. If it becomes easy enough for them to support it, or the costs of not supporting it get too high, they might change their minds.

      Alternatively: wean yourself and your friends off of snapchat. In my part of the world, snapchat isn’t popular anymore. It doesn’t offer anything new and so barely anyone uses it.

      If Snapchat does nothing, the Firefox team will change the user agent to trick the website into thinking it’s something else.

        I don’t think they ever did that, otherwise add-ons like “Google search fixer” that change the user agent wouldn’t exist. (My fix in that case is don’t use Google at all - installing an add-on otherwise amp links aren’t shown and the useless ai search isn’t available doesn’t make sense, that’s a plus)
