MODERATORS
It is possible to use Discord from the browser without necessarily making an account, but many big servers have restrictive measures that prevent users without a verified email addreds (or even a verified phone number, in the strictest of cases) to access. This will depend on your friends' setup.
I don't know if it's possible to bridge Discord to Matrix, but I can tell you that it's got a pretty prolific API for building bots and integrations, so someone might have already built something of that kind. Alternative clients are tecnically against the TOS (afaik) but I know of people who have built large projects without ever getting any complaints from the company.
It's possible and I've done it, but you have to manually bridge each room, and keep the bridges in sync if you ever add/remove channels. There's a github issue for bridging a discord server as a space in matrix that would do that automatically, but there hasn't really been any activity on it:
