Anyone using Helium Browser? I’m really liking it. Clean, relatively minimal, snappy. No Google nonsense that I can see. All Chrome extensions should work. After tinkering with settings, this is how it looks when I first open Helium, just the homepage tab open… [1] Multiple tabs open… [3] …

Been using it for a couple of weeks now. I have it as a daily on my Gateway and a Secondary on my Daily (Zen is my daily) I like it and when its out of beta I’ll more than likely replace brave with it. I started using it not long after I saw @sammiev had suggested it or mentioned it somewhere here …

Does it include widevine? Perhaps not if it’s totally google-freed? The only reason I keep Brave (origin) around is for streaming some shows that needs it. Tabs on both Firefox and Librewolf crach on me while streaming these shows.

Here is a shot of both Helium and Zen Zen seems to have a unique fingerprint ( firefox??) Helium is using Random [Screenshot-2026-05-2106:22:05]

Thanks for the info @UncleSpellbinder ! I’ll look into it when I get around to it. Currently, I just use Librewolf('s profiles) for everything but those few shows on an online TV site for which I use Brave Origin.

I like Zen browser OK. I just cannot do sidebar tabs. I need them on top.

I love the sidebar tabs. I prefer them, so there ya go :joy:
