There’s really no reason to be mad at them in this particular instance. Their client is Chromium-based (Electron) so they will optimize their new features for that engine first. There’s probably less than 5% users who Discord from browser, let alone Firefox, and I think I’m being generous with that number. Additionally, some things are harder to implement (or even impossible) in native web rather than Electron, that has all the NodeJS integrations.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you
To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.
I ditched Discord a few weeks ago. I moved to Matrix!
what is this matrix you speak of?
Thanks. Going to check it out now
Voice channels work perfectly! I’m waiting for screen sharing.
Push to talk or voice activation would be good
It’s already implemented 😎
Wow, that was fast! What else is still missing ?
Matrix is great, reminds me of a more secure discord. At least this one can be bothered to even try implementing end to end encryption
“Press THIS button if you want to enter anyway”.
I think I need to fill a patent for this idea, since it’s brand new, fresh and nobody has ever heard about it…
element / matrix instead
Eventually I can see discord discontinuing their web client to push you users into installing their spyware.
They already have Windows on your machine. What more can they get from you with Discord?
I am a Linux master race user. I don’t use Windows.
I bet you don’t install discords spyware on your Linux box. Or maybe you do and you’re whole pontification is moot.
Windows is NSA, discord is CCP
There is FOSS wrapper for discord called webcord, if you have to use discord but want a bit more privacy.
Looks like they’re prepping you for browser drm lol. Go decentralized and get off discord.
