These tests were done on:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS 3,80 GHz
- 16GB DDR5 RAM
- SK Hynix PC801 HFS001TEJ9X10N SSD
| Boocord | Discord | |
|---|---|---|
| Ram usage: | 30MB | 579MB |
| CPU usage: | %0 | %2.5 |
| App size: | 231MB | 474MB |
| Installer size: | 68.7MB | 107.1MB |
In technicality, as this is still a build of the discord.com website, it does not violate the T.o.S. since it is not a custom client but rather a different runtime or browser. If we assume that electron is just a one page web browser that is extremely minimal and that no changes are being made to the website, this is not against the t.o.s.
