Firefox doesn’t implement the AudioData API, which is probably necessary for the waveform viewer and cropping tool Discord presents in the soundboard management UI.
Not everything is about Chrome DRM yall.
Thank fucking people like you. The average Lemmy user just knows everything.
I have seen so many Lemmy users think they are better than Reddit users. Truth is, you are all fucking ass holes you are just different kinds of ass holes.
None of us agree with Google’s choices but for fucks sake not everything is because Google chose it.
Sometimes it’s just in the damn browser. Like fuck off.
I use Chrome and Firefox and have two different online personas with both.
If you clicked the link. It says experimental technology. It’s not mozilla’s fault Chrome is adding features that are not standard. Sites like Discord for utilizing non standard API’s.
is the other one less touchy?
Yet another experimental API only supported by Chrome. Chrome has always been like this, implementing experimental API that hasn’t been finalized yet. You might say they’re innovating to support new technologies, but actually it’s more like they’re doing whatever they pleased, as demonstrated by their removal of jpeg xl support despite web communities plea not to do so (a new more efficient image compression, but not made by Google so screw it), pushing manifest V3 and ad topics, and recent push for web environment integrity API.
How can they not support jpg xl? It’s such a huge thing
Any reason FF hasn’t implemented this?
dont show firefox users any modern web feature
Hope you’ll continue to lick the Google even after Chrome implements DRM.
im a firefox user
It appears the Reddit users that don’t read further than the title have arrived on Lemmy.
Shocking news: people are people everywhere, not just on ‘rival’ platforms.
Care to elaborate? I can’t make sense of your response
I’m a little baffled by this one. File upload isn’t exactly some new HTML5.1 feature or anything. There’s no good reason they can’t have this handled properly.
EDIT - just for some additional context, I’ve never used this feature so I had no idea it was more than a mere file upload. Looks like Discord has chosen a non-standardized API that’s currently only in Chromium, but if it were up to me I’d try to budget some time for a simple fallback in case someone’s using Discord in Safari or FF.
It’s probably the AudioData API.
I bet if you switch user agents it works just fine.
Here’s what happens when you spoof a Chrome user-agent.

Just like Google search on Firefox Mobile.
I ditched Discord a few weeks ago. I moved to Matrix!
Not to be discouraging, but i managed to quit discord for a few months, but i returned again, turns out many projects, even open source, use discord for discussion only
So why not encourage them to move to the Matrix?
what is this matrix you speak of?
The Lemmy of chat apps but not there yet for video/screen share for multi person rooms
Interesting, I’ll give it a go
Thanks. Going to check it out now
Voice channels work perfectly! I’m waiting for screen sharing.
It’s already implemented 😎
Wow, that was fast! What else is still missing ?
Push to talk or voice activation would be good
I also quit Discord 2 weeks ago when my account was disabled for alleged self-botting the second time. Self-botting means using a script to automate your user account. I never did that.
Matrix is great, reminds me of a more secure discord. At least this one can be bothered to even try implementing end to end encryption
codes a desktop OS specific program coded in C just to spite you
To be honest I absolutely hate everything being a browser app.
element / matrix instead
There’s really no reason to be mad at them in this particular instance. Their client is Chromium-based (Electron) so they will optimize their new features for that engine first. There’s probably less than 5% users who Discord from browser, let alone Firefox, and I think I’m being generous with that number. Additionally, some things are harder to implement (or even impossible) in native web rather than Electron, that has all the NodeJS integrations.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!
File upload is not a chromium feature, it’s a super old basic feature. It’s just their pittiness and upcoming drm implications. I bet if you set your user-agent to chrome it woould work just fine.

Not everything is about Chrome DRM yall.
Edited to add screenshot of spoofing user-agent on Firefox and getting an error:

“Press THIS button if you want to enter anyway”.
I think I need to fill a patent for this idea, since it’s brand new, fresh and nobody has ever heard about it…
There is FOSS wrapper for discord called webcord, if you have to use discord but want a bit more privacy.
3rd party apps tend to trigger discords sussy user detection and force you to add phone number
Webcord is hardly a 3rd party app. It’s essentially just a specialized web browser for the discord site.
To blacklist your number and ban you?
To monetize you sideways.
(I’m saying this because once upon a time I had cloned discord on my phone by installing the same apk with a letter changed (com.discore) and it thought I was using a 3rd party app or something. They asked for a number, gave me access to my account for about 5mins (good thing I thought of backing up my account and my friend IDs) and banned me. They didn’t mention why, just some default message about spam. I did it again since I didn’t know what I did wrong, another number down the drain. I haven’t checked if they are still blacklisted.)
Eventually I can see discord discontinuing their web client to push you users into installing their spyware.
They already have Windows on your machine. What more can they get from you with Discord?
Windows is NSA, discord is CCP
I am a Linux master race user. I don’t use Windows.
I bet you don’t install discords spyware on your Linux box. Or maybe you do and you’re whole pontification is moot.
I said 'fuck you" to Slack for similar reasons. Going to same the same to Discord now.
I wish I could say fuck you to slack. Unfortunately, my office relies on it.
Because firefox doesn’t support it? Don’t see why it’s their fault
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.
I tried to use lyft on my computer yesterday to download a receipt for my expense report, it didn’t let me, kept telling me to download the Android app…
Everyone wants to force you to download their app now so they can collect your data, shove notifications down your throat, and push ads.
In the age of the internet, your attention is the most valuable thing a business can have and it costs them virtually nothing to harass you into giving it to them because people have no spine and won’t hold it against them.
such a discord
Looks like they’re prepping you for browser drm lol. Go decentralized and get off discord.
People use discord in the browser? Damn boi
Never use an app for what should be a web site.
It works better for me as an app. I don’t like my browsers to be cluttered like that. But if it fits your usecase

Discord is such an obvious “stay the fuck away from” product.
With the same critical mass of users that most proprietary social media have, unfortunately. You’ll be lucky to find certain communities on Matrix at all.
