Using any Chromium browser contributes to Google's ever-encroaching monopoly on all things Web. Hard pass.

Weird that Twitter is the only social network they have an account on…

It just another garbage chromium browser.

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.

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.

Don't see the point, the world doesn't need another Chromium browser.

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.

It's Chromium based, doesn't that mean uBlock isn't going to work as well?

another chrome browser.... garbage

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.

I can't see any reason to trust this project with my browsing.

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.

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.

I didn’t know about this. Does WebHID work? I having to install chrome or edge or something just to use a web based keyboard configuration and flash tool.

Been using it as my daily driver for months. Love it.

Using it to run jellyfin and other self hosted apps that runs good in 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.

Good browser, people who don't see need in a new chromium browser know nothing about today's industry lol

It is literally Chromium based...
