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?

    Mmm, its versioning keeps up with Chromium, and the source just looks like a bunch of patches to me:

    Not a fork, I don't think.

    Sorry what did you mean by "Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward"? A fork of what?
