I literally just run another browser Window with discord on the web rather than the native app.

Discord is probably my least favorite thing to happen to chatting online, but for some reason it's what everyone wants to fucking use.

Discord is my favorite thing to happen to chatting online. It combined everything useful from IRC, Skype and TeamSpeak, in one application and with modern UI, and things we now take for granted like attachments and link embeds. And even 10 years later, there are still no alternatives that aren't just discord but worse.

Discord tab also uses 500-600MB of RAM. This is private resident bytes of the tab excluding browser and its helper processes.
