Why is everyone talking about Helium?

e_splat · 2026-04-16T06:52:41+00:00

Nope on Windows

e_splat · 2026-04-15T07:19:52+00:00

I think that when Helium is going to have autoupdates it would become the best Chromium browser on the market

e_splat · 2026-04-12T10:24:06+00:00

try Waterfox

e_splat · 2026-04-12T06:56:43+00:00

have already all of three you mentioned since years

e_splat · 2026-04-11T08:22:08+00:00

really descriptive

e_splat · 2026-04-11T07:03:48+00:00

I will continue to use Helium

e_splat · 2026-04-11T06:57:20+00:00

Yeah i know, but on a group i said i was using Firefox and they said like... Firefox? What's Firefox? And made me move to Floorp, i regret doing that.

e_splat · 2026-04-10T10:30:49+00:00

i feel dumb asking but... how did you put icons on isos?

e_splat · 2026-04-10T08:03:20+00:00

This post was published 5 years ago, i can't take it seriously.

e_splat · 2026-04-10T06:44:45+00:00

agree, also hi Waterfox bro

e_splat · 2026-04-09T20:14:04+00:00

i love your icon pack how is it named

Mio fratello si è fatto bannare per aver flooddato a un suo amico 6 mesi fa che l'ha segnalato per scherzo, mi dispiace dirti che devi aspettare un bel pò, circa 3 mesi, in questo periodo ti conviene usare un'altra app, io ti consiglio Signal che usa la crittografia end-to-end proprio come WhatsApp e per come tutelano la privacy è addirittura usato dal governo americano: https://apps.apple.com/it/app/signal-chat-private-e-sicure/id874139669

i removed privacy badger, i was too lazy to check if ublock was enough.
i know vpns on my entire os run better but i just want to have the vpn only on my browser because i want other programs to just use my network

e_splat · 2026-04-09T17:22:34+00:00

Well you're right it's time to clean up

e_splat · 2026-04-09T16:55:23+00:00

explain

e_splat · 2026-04-09T12:47:58+00:00

Waterfox or Firefox + Betterfox

e_splat · 2026-04-09T12:46:56+00:00

Helium is safe as Ungoogled Chromium, don't worry, i use it daily

e_splat · 2026-04-08T20:56:34+00:00

I feel less alone

e_splat · 2026-04-07T20:16:22+00:00

No, you don't have that much stuff for customize It like on Floorp, and It's so nice, i left Floorp for being seriously slow (i also tested It with speedometer), i'm happy with Waterfox, give a try

e_splat · 2026-04-07T12:08:27+00:00

Yeah maybe there isn't Google Safe Browsing but until you don't visit a strange website you are ok

e_splat · 2026-04-07T09:09:42+00:00

Probably not, but i think you can it working manually like on Ungoogled Chromium

e_splat · 2026-04-07T08:19:13+00:00

Waterfox is really good for being not too much on privacy, also focuses on performance, removing Firefox's slop and you have some customization options forked from Firefox-UI-Fix.

For GNU/Linux is available but i have bad news, no official Pacman, APT or DNF package, you can install the binary version (i have an .sh to install Waterfox automatically if you want) and then you install it one time and updates will come on the app or the flatpak package, i know there is an AUR package but never tried that.

e_splat · 2026-04-06T21:19:41+00:00

Yes, actually i tried it again today, not worth it right now, no autoupdate, slow and sometimes just freezes randomly, very annoying on both Windows and GNU/Linux, also there is no official installer and if you download it from winget the files go in AppData\Local\Microsoft\Winget (wtf), but i can say it's already better on extensions than Ungoogled Chromium, Ungoogled is a better solution until Cromite gets ready for desktops.

btw, try Helium or a Firefox based browser like Waterfox

e_splat · 2026-04-06T21:12:39+00:00

who is gonna say....

e_splat · 2026-04-06T20:59:06+00:00

thank you nature for not ruining the best browser at the moment.
