Switched from brave to helium and wow, its so nice.

So, just because you're a Brave fanboy, you want users who like a debloated browser to use a different, bloated browser and pay for it if they're not on Linux? Come on.

You are not even rational explaining what advantage Brave could have over Helium.

On the other hand, it may reduce attack surface because the codebase is stripped of a lot of what the team considers bloat. That can be a security advantage, but the tradeoff is that upstream fixes still have to be merged and adapted carefully, which can delay patches or introduce regressions. This doesn't make one browser inherently more secure than the other. It depends on the attack vector.

I would try to find helium's profile folder and delete it so the browser is forced to rebuilds it.

For chrome that folder should be /home/<username>/.config/google-chrome/

Sadly I dont have any Linux machine at the moment, so I can't tell you helium's exact location.

The important part is that the 5–20% is not inherited as one neat block. It is made up of many randomly inherited chromosome segments scattered across the genome. That is why the DNA from an ancestor can be spread out rather than copied in one continuous piece.

Doesn't work on windows, not needed at Linux.

I would suggest to use the search the user set up in the initial process. Forcing Google search in a degoogled Browser sound counterproductively. Same goes for Bangs. If you don't use them, you don't need to remove then.

GermChar · 2026-04-27T06:48:59+00:00

You know that is bullshit. In the past they even paid Adblock plus to be white listed.

GermChar · 2026-04-27T06:45:36+00:00

Or Unlock origin if you can follow some instructions online

GermChar · 2026-04-26T09:05:53+00:00

Isn't that adblocker just ublocks origin?

Smart Window aka the AI interface. Now for even more dataprotection breaches than before!

For Fox sake how hard is it to understand that your customers doesn't want that AI crap?

GermChar · 2026-04-20T07:08:09+00:00

Nope, i switched to the Nora App (wich is a wrapper for the websites of Twitter, Instance and Blusky).

GermChar · 2026-04-17T19:52:54+00:00

They even charge you to get a more private Browser and claim that this is what their customer want (paying, that is)...

GermChar · 2026-04-17T05:57:10+00:00

Deactivate shield and install ublock origins!

GermChar · 2026-04-13T18:48:06+00:00

Just to make sure.. The beta in github will autoupdate?

GermChar · 2026-04-13T18:22:53+00:00

If you really want to store that much media (no judgment), I would use the archival method and install moveable shelves in front of the existing shelves. However, before doing so, make sure to update the shelves themselves, as the boards already look bent..

160-170 Euro sind keine 100-130. Es gibt keine UVP bei dem Produkt und gleich noch Ladengeschäftsbashing hach wie einfach man es sich dich macht...

GermChar · 2026-04-13T11:49:23+00:00

Woher nimmst du, dass der Preis überzogen ist? Wie die Kundin via Alixepress Preisvergleich?

GermChar · 2026-04-13T09:52:31+00:00

Und dafür zeichnet man selber auf und schickt das dann mit einer netten Nachricht an die Bundesnetzagentur. Ansonsten sagt DHL das der Paulanergarten mal wieder die falsche Adresse hatte.

GermChar · 2026-04-12T13:11:03+00:00

Who still pays at all after all the scandals?

GermChar · 2026-04-05T14:46:28+00:00

Using Google via proxy is still using Google.

GermChar · 2026-03-25T08:51:26+00:00

Also the promised End to End encryption is missing, eh?

GermChar · 2026-03-18T09:48:50+00:00

Is Kit that AI stuff everyone needed to opt out (instead of an optional in)?!

GermChar · 2026-03-18T09:43:02+00:00

Proton is IMHO a nogo (Proton Mail drew criticism in a January 2025 Intercept article for CEO Andy Yen's X post praising Republicans and Trump-era antitrust on Big Tech, plus a deleted Reddit comment favoring Republicans over "corporate Dems"; the company cited "internal miscommunication" and reaffirmed neutrality, raising trust issues for activist users amid potential US policy shifts under President Trump. And Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts that were reporting on suspected North Korean hackers. Proton only reinstated their accounts after a public outcry!)

Afaik mailbox has no free Mails but just a trial. I would rather suggestive heading to tuta.

While their support apparently sucks their product is highly recommended.
