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
