What is Datcord?

Datcord is an open-source Discord client that respects your privacy. Datcord is a specialized version of Firefox (the official client is Chromium-based). Datcord handles emoji rendering better than the normal Discord client. Note that Discord can still track you even if you use Datcord. I chose Firefox for Datcord because Chromium-based browsers have a monopoly and if Firefox were to die out, only Chromium would be left.
