Helium: The Browser That Might Worth Your Attention
Helium is a free, open-source browser built on Ungoogled Chromium. In this video I install it, set it up, and test its top features: full Manifest V2 support for real uBlock Origin blocking, built-in search bangs, split view, frameless mode, and ad-blocking performance. I also cover the downsides — no sync, no DRM, no mobile app — so you can decide if it's a real alternative for you ;) • Helium: https://helium.computer/ https://github.com/imputnet/helium • Update: Helium is currently on CachyOS repos: https://packages.cachyos.org/package/... ☕️ Support my channel by becoming a member and enjoy some perks! / @laustoic • Help me buy a new microphone: https://ko-fi.com/laustoic/goal?g=0 • PIX: https://livepix.gg/laustoic • Twitch: / laustoic • Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:49 What is Helium? 0:58 Manifest V2 vs V3 2:41 Installing Helium 4:41 Initial setup 6:27 Customization 10:52 Split View 13:20 !bangs 14:42 Ad-blocking test 15:08 Limitations 17:01 Final verdict • Specs: Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15ARP10 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS (16 threads) RAM: 24GB DDR5 GPU: AMD Radeon 680M Graphics (Integrated) Storage: 512GB NVMe SSD Distro: CachyOS WM: Hyprland Shell/dotfiles: Caelestia Shell 📩 [email protected] • Tags #linux #heliumbrowser #ungoogledchromium #browser
