    Must be a windows problem. Discord is neither larger than 500mb in size, and never uses more than a gig of ram on my machine.

    There’s a million good reasons to not like discord. Age verification, the advertising, the paid nitro for emojis. Why lie?

      Even on Linux desktop browser with fine-tuned uBO and API blockers and with several settings disabled it takes 560 MB and ~15% CPU on its tab plus whatever it is slicing from the general context thread. I can only dread what more it eats if you are not trying to restrict what it can do. Comparatively, the entire IRC client process I’m running (connected to various things) takes 65 MB + shared context.
