ArmCord VS stylus

I am using Armcord. It works with Wayland, although I have not streamed myself on Discord (don't know if the sound problem persists).

Armcord (utilise Cumcord comme base)

ArmCord is also similar but has mods built-in

You should check out ArmCord, it's a FOSS standalone client for discord that uses the web version, but it has better integration, as well as client mods if you want that.

Use ArmCord instead

I want to improve my privacy and now discord is a big border in front of me. I cant switch to matrix because my friends wont but i found some alternative clients which are blocking trackers and just using Electron like the original discord client. Do you know other good alternatives and why is yours the best? I found "ArmCord" and "discord-sandboxed". My question is can i trust them? Which one is better? Do you know more?

Sadly no, but its more privacy respecting than the regular client for sure. FOSS options include: https://github.com/diamondburned/gtkcord4 https://github.com/uowuo/abaddon https://github.com/terminal-discord/weechat-discord (weechat plugin to use Discord within weechat) https://github.com/evelyneee/accord (seems to be for M1 macs) https://github.com/ArmCord/ArmCord (seems to support AMD64, not just Arm64) https://github.com/khlam/discord-sandboxed (sandboxing for standard discord client) There are others I'm sure. One easier option is to run the Discord code in a newer version of Electron. This still isn't open source, but it provides better security and performance. Arch users can use the AUR package discord_arch_electron, other users can just follow the commands in the PKGBUILD for said package and figure it out. Hope that helps. Keep in mind even if your client is open source, Discord's servers aren't, and while there will be some mitigation of data collected, it'll still be quite a bit.

For discord there are some apps like ArmCord though I haven't had much luck getting it to work on postmarketOS (musl seems to have issues running electron apps right now).

I recently found ArmCord but haven't gotten it working yet. I may spend some more time on this soon.

I used a Firefox add-on called "Stylus" and wrote a custom css rule to hide the relevant divs/elements. It's not perfect, but it's okay. https://github.com/openstyles/stylus

However, after the recent ad-blocker targeting by Youtube I pretty much just stopped watching. I added my regular subscriptions to the NewPipe app on my phone and just watch what they put out.

The add-on I mentioned above is super useful to personalize my experience with other websites. Particularly online-shopping and other marketplaces that have huge amounts of whitespace for no reason. You'd be surprised how much nicer the web experience is after you add a few "margin: 0px;" css styles to strategic areas.

I try to maintain a user style to improve Fandom's wikis, for anyone using the Stylus Extension.

Both of these are hosted on userstyles.world. To use them, you'll need to have a browser extension like Stylus . Then just click the blue Install button for each tool you want!

These are both hosted on userstyles.world. I recommend using them with the Stylus browser extension, which works on Chrome, Firefox (including Firefox Nightly for Android) and Opera. (Pretty sure it will also work with Cascadea if you're on Safari but I haven't tested it yet.)

I wonder if Stylus would be good for this...

Use Stylus

Stylus and display: hide !important; are your friends.

looks good to me, its a css file so its already quite limited, and i did a quick check and it doesnt seem to load anything (from just searching for "url"), so it should all be local. stylus is open source, but of course thats no garuntee that its safe https://github.com/openstyles/stylus . its also a reccomended extension on firefox, which means that they do check it more thouroghly, but idk if thats good enough for you.
