Review Summary
Discord Popup-Window is praised for enabling Discord access on devices like Chromebooks and laptops that can't run the native app, offering a simple, easy-to-use interface mimicking Discord's experience. Users appreciate avoiding the website and using Discord even when apps are blocked. However, multiple users report issues such as non-English default language with no easy switch, audio and screensharing bugs, missing server icons, lack of notifications, and icon visibility problems. Despite these, the extension remains a valuable tool for many seeking lightweight Discord access, especially where other options are limited.
Pros
- Allows access to Discord on devices where the native app cannot be installed, such as Chromebooks and laptops with issues downloading Discord.
- Provides a convenient way to use Discord without opening the website every time.
- User-friendly and closely resembles the Discord experience, as many users find it 'awesome' and 'great.'
- Works well as a workaround to blocked Discord apps on certain networks (though limited in heavily restricted environments).
- Lightweight and simple to use, providing basic Discord functionalities effectively.
Cons
- Some users experience UI language issues, with the extension defaulting to non-English languages and lacking an easy way to switch to English.
- Audio and screensharing bugs have been reported, with issues like darkened screens and non-functional voice and video calls.
- Lack of notifications and inability to pin the extension to the taskbar or create home screen shortcuts.
- Server icons sometimes do not load, impeding full navigation and user experience.
- The extension's icon appears as a blank or gray icon instead of the official Discord logo, as reported by more than one user.
