Nowadays, WebCord is quite complex project; it can be summarized as a pack of security and privacy hardenings, Discord features reimplementations, Electron / Chromium / Discord bugs workarounds, stylesheets, internal pages and wrapped Discord page, designed to conform with ToS as much as it is possible (or hide the changes that might violate it from Discord's eyes). WebCord does a lot to improve the privacy of the users. It blocks known tracing and fingerprinting methods, but it does not end on it. It also manages the permissions to sensitive APIs like camera or microphone, sets its own user agent to the one present in Chromium browsers and spoof web API modifications in order to prevent distinguishing it from the real Chrome/Chromium browsers.
