In general, BetterDiscord is considered safe, offering few risks, especially when it comes to using the themes provided by the application. However, in the case of plugins, it is important to be more careful, as they work like any other program that has direct access to your Discord account and file system.
The recommendation is download themes and plugins only from BetterDiscord official websitebecause there is greater assurance that they are not contaminated with any malicious code and that they follow the community guidelines.
Another great tip is to carefully observe the settings and details of each item before downloading on the platform. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the use of BetterDiscord goes against the Terms of Use of the official application.
