Firefox doesn't implement the AudioData API, which is probably necessary for the waveform viewer and cropping tool Discord presents in the soundboard management UI.

Not everything is about Chrome DRM yall.

And their desktop client technically is a browser without omnibar.

I’m a little baffled by this one. File upload isn’t exactly some new HTML5.1 feature or anything. There’s no good reason they can’t have this handled properly.

EDIT - just for some additional context, I've never used this feature so I had no idea it was more than a mere file upload. Looks like Discord has chosen a non-standardized API that's currently only in Chromium, but if it were up to me I'd try to budget some time for a simple fallback in case someone's using Discord in Safari or FF.

I ditched Discord a few weeks ago. I moved to Matrix!

To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.

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.

element / matrix instead

"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...

There is FOSS wrapper for discord called webcord, if you have to use discord but want a bit more privacy.

Eventually I can see discord discontinuing their web client to push you users into installing their spyware.

Discord is such an obvious "stay the fuck away from" product.

I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.
