Discord is a web app, there's no other way. You either use your main browser or the one they're bundling it with.

If it's just a WebApp, then why does one of the commenters have issues to run it without the browser?

See: https://feddit.de/comment/2192027

Edit: And I know that you're right technically, still there is a difference in how you run it when using a browser vs Webapp.

Theoretically, it may have additional features when it's bundled with Electron, but ultimately there's nothing wrong with running it in the browser.

Nah I know there's nothing wrong with it. I was just surprised so many people do it. But I guess we have a privacy-aware tech bubble here
