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

I 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 it's more work to explicitly not support a browser than it is to support it...

Another side I haven't seen mentioned

It might be easier to track users in Chrome. If even a few users open it in chrome instead of Firefox, that's a benefit for them

Yeah, I'm sure Chrome works well with Google Analytics tools which seem to be on every site nowadays...
