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

Because firefox doesn't support it? Don't see why it's their fault

They implemented a feature that is only available in Chromium and not part of the web standards yet. It's no different than websites that would only work on IE 20 years ago because of some proprietary Microsoft thing.

Except it's not proprietary, and presumably there's no other way to do it in the browser, so did discord really have a choice other than not implementing said feature?

On top of that, their desktop app uses essentially the same website in an internal browser, so unless they handicap themselves by not implementing anything firefox can't support, I still don't see how it's their fault

I wish I could say fuck you to slack. Unfortunately, my office relies on it.
