“Today, we’re launching Messenger for web browsers — a standalone web chat product accessible via Messenger.com,” Facebook told VentureBeat. “Once logged in, people can dive directly into a dedicated desktop messaging experience, keeping their conversations going and picking up where they left off.”

The decision makes a lot of sense if you consider the company’s debut of the Facebook Messenger platform during its F8 developer conference last month. Facebook wants to turn Messenger into its own ecosystem, and that means it needs a proper app on all major platforms. This isn’t the first time Facebook has experimented with desktop apps: The company launched a standalone Messenger app for Windows in March 2012 and a Messenger app for Firefox in December 2012. Both were discontinued in March 2014.

A web app that works across browsers on Windows, Mac, and Linux certainly makes more sense. Still, while the Facebook Messenger platform has a lot of potential, it also has a lot to prove, both on mobile and the web.
