    I think its stupid to have like 2-3 copies of google chrome on your computer, Apps like Discord should use the standard
    copy of Chrome from your browser.

    i use it in the browser instead.. the installable discord watches when your mouse moves to track whether you're around, watches what programs you run, and who knows what else in a privileged not-just-a-browser sort of way. you can't disable any of that either

    use chromium-ungoogled and "install" the discord login webpage as an "app"
    and just use that instead.

    This is why I don't do these apps. Sure I am on discord, but I only
    use the web interface. I would guess I spend 10 mins a day total on
    Discord, Reddit and Digg combined.

    What does the app do that the web site doesn't? (I am curious)

    ... If it's Tourist Season why can't we shoot 'em??
