I see no use at all in Snap, the annoying service that pops up a postage-stamp sized, way too high compressed, and thus completely useless screenshot of the linked-to websites when the mouse resides on a link. It only does so on websites which include Snap’s script, when this would be so much better suited as a browser extension that can either be disabled (or just not be installed) or that works on all websites.

This annoying website of mine, probably shows a pop-up message when viewed with Firefox under Windows, whining about missing fonts nobody needs, cares for, nor is in any way likely to download, just because some suspicious-looking pop-up said so. And I’m tremendously pleased to announce, that it also does so on Snap’s screenshot-cluster, which then looks like this:

Snap screenshot of this website, with a whining message on top of it.

Spectacular. I wonder, though, why the window has no title-bar… They seem to use Windows, or some Redmond-themed linux without a window-manager…
