Not the biggest fan of Chromium based browsers. Thoughts on Helium ?

It’s a weird obsession with today’s tech industry and it bewilders me every time
The [current year] of our lord and people are still doing this
Don’t see the point, the world doesn’t need another Chromium browser.
Using any Chromium browser contributes to Google’s ever-encroaching monopoly on all things Web. Hard pass.
It’s Chromium based, doesn’t that mean uBlock isn’t going to work as well?
Weird that Twitter is the only social network they have an account on…
It just another garbage chromium browser.

another chrome browser… garbage
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’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.
I can’t see any reason to trust this project with my browsing.
Been using it as my daily driver for months. Love it.
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’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

Also, really? Brave is the best ever?
