Not the biggest fan of Chromium based browsers. Thoughts on Helium ?
Butthole logo
It’s a weird obsession with today’s tech industry and it bewilders me every time
When people tell you who they are, believe them
Don’t see the point, the world doesn’t need another Chromium browser.
It’s Chromium based, doesn’t that mean uBlock isn’t going to work as well?
It specifically supports (and ships with) full UBO, not the neutered ManifestV3 version.
It was my understanding that moving forward full fat UBO would not work on any modern Chromium browser, but I’m admittedly not enough of an expert to know better.
Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward.
It’s not like a side thing, either; full (not lite) UBlock Origin is the headline feature of Helium. It’s literally shipped with the browser.
So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a fork of Chromium?
kinda like it been using as chromium alternative to my daily driver librewolf.
reminds me of brave but has no brave bullshit and pretty minimalist.
Good browser, people who don’t see need in a new chromium browser know nothing about today’s industry lol
Been using it for months, and I adore it. +1
Only thing I wish it had is JXL support hacked in like Thorium.
Sometimes I shop on Cromite (specifically for its uber hardcore anti fingerprinting), or switch to Firefox for a bit, but I’ve found myself mostly using Helium.
I can’t see any reason to trust this project with my browsing.
Seems aight, I’m fine with FF ATM though.
I do keep alternates around for rare issues, so when helium is out of beta if it ever is, I may install it.
If you have to use garbage ass Google monopoly-ware, I’d suggest Vivaldi, but I’d recommend even avoiding that one like the plague.
