I can't use it without installing an app on my phone, even when I force desktop (which used to work). Remember when they tried to replace email with facebook messenger? And then tried to replace text messaging/etc? If it's the best messaging client you've used, I'm bemused, because it's honestly no better than AIM was in 2002 for communicating with friends on my computer. In fact I probably find it worse most of the time.
