Alternative Discord client made in C++ with GTK. Abaddon tries its best (though is not perfect) to make Discord think it's a legitimate web client. Some of the things done to do this include: using a browser user agent, sending the same IDENTIFY message that the official web client does, using API v9 endpoints in all cases, and not using endpoints the web client does not normally use. There are still a few smaller inconsistencies, however. For example the web client sends lots of telemetry via the /science endpoint (uBlock origin stops this) as well as in the headers of all requests. ...

...It includes over 100 built-in plugins while staying relatively lightweight and easy to install. Vencord works across Discord Stable, Canary, and PTB, and it can also run in the browser through an extension or userscript. Users can customize Discord with built-in CSS editing, imported CSS files, and support for BetterDiscord themes. It also includes privacy-friendly defaults, such as blocking Discord analytics and crash reporting without adding its own telemetry. Vencord is actively maintained by a large open-source community, with frequent fixes, updates, and optional settings sync across devices.

A minimalist version of Discord based on the web version.

Are you worried Discord is watching what programs you have open or listening to your mic even while you're not pressing your push-to-talk key? Discord-Sandbox isolates the Discord client from reading background processes by running the Discord web client inside of a webview, which is finally contained inside the Electron process. While I cannot guarantee this client protects you from anything, I have tried my best to remove Discord's data collection. As detailed from Luna Mendes' discord-unofficial-docs, Discord sends telemetry data over the /api/science endpoint. This project does its best to disable this telemetry communication by running javascript code into the webview that adds a blacklist/whitelist to the default XMLHttpRequest behavior. ...
