With a little browser workaround, you can download a Discord user’s profile picture to your computer.

    Doesn't the Discord app come with Inspect Element (or at least the element viewer) using Ctrl+Shift+I? This means that finding a user's Discord profile picture should be possible (albeit difficult)?
