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
The [current year] of our lord and people are still doing this
It just another garbage chromium browser.

Weird that Twitter is the only social network they have an account on…
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.
It is the best combo of lightweight and fast without working your CPU too hard. But this is only really relevant on old hardware. My laptop with 1 GB RAM and antiX installed is somewhat usable online now. But there are more private options for general use. Also I hate that it only has an AppImage release, it’s terrible for a browser to not be able to auto update.
I can’t see any reason to trust this project with my browsing.
Been using it as my daily driver for months. Love it.
I’m mildly interested, given this is based on ungoogled chromium. But like all brand new projects these days, I’m put off by their potentially vibe coded internals.
Why not Vanadium then?
Because I use a desktop computer.
Good browser, people who don’t see need in a new chromium browser know nothing about today’s industry lol
No, we don’t need more chromium browsers but fewer. I will never use that garbage.
Okay ig? I hate firefox so i don’t use it, but i love chromium so i want more normal browsers on chromium

I deleted my comment fir a reason 🤨 I misread the post and thought that the OP was saying that it is not Chromium based.
Also, really? Brave is the best ever?

I’ve been using Helium as my Chromium browser of choice (used to use Brave) for a while now. Of course, I still use Mullvad Browser (FF based) as my daily driver, but Helium has been great for anything I need Chromium for. I know Firefox good Chromium bad, but if you ever need Chromium, this seems like the least of all evils.
When… when would I ever need Chromium?
Some websites don’t work properly on Firefox. That or testing websites you’re developing on Chromium
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.
Vivaldi is proprietary. I would def avoid that. For Chromium forked browser use Cromite instead.
I’ll have to try that one. I was thinking it was an android browser. Oh well. I only said Vivaldi because I note its lack of AI and it’s available on all the desktop platforms
its a bit more than that with me. Even with FF changing the way it did addons I still find chrome add ons to be kinda weenie relative to FF. I do feel FF is a better base.
