Spotify using several processes and GB of memory just play some music and browse a library is an abomination. WinAMP did most of that 20 years ago while using a fraction of the resources.

Discord similarly is an affront.

I use discord.com/app for exactly this reason. Its footprint is lower and the experience is almost exactly the same. And I can block things I don't like using ublock/other extensions, like animated reactions and those crazy new premium video profiles with explosions and confetti etc

I can recommend Vencord or Vesktop instead, it's a modified client with stuff like FakeNitro and Adblocker as plugins
