Datcord

An open-source Discord client

About Datcord

Datcord is an open-source Discord client that respects your privacy. Datcord is a specialized version of Firefox (the official client is Chromium-based). Datcord handles emoji rendering better than the normal Discord client. Note that Discord can still track you even if you use Datcord. I chose Firefox for Datcord because Chromium-based browsers have a monopoly and if Firefox were to die out, only Chromium would be left.

Note:

I don't use Discord/Datcord anymore because of their terrible TOS which Datcord can't protect you from. I am also very busy personally and don't have too much time to work on Datcord.
