First and foremost, we’re making a good browser for ourselves. We don’t intend to reinvent the wheel or target everyone, it isn’t Helium’s goal. The main goal is to provide an honest, comfortable, privacy-respecting, and non-invasive experience.
I found it interesting, which is why I’m sharing this. This isn’t a tool recommendation.
I saw news about this recently. They have a website now…
And an alpha build for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Well I’m on Windows right now and it says the build for Windows is alpha. Not sure if the Mac and Linux are also in alpha stage or are in beta.
Has uBo by default, proxies request to the CWS, https by default, bangs to use different searches engines, promise fast and auto updates.
It says beta for macOS 12 and above. Will have to try this out.
Sry but when your browser still supports MV2 extensions than you can not claim to develop with security practices!
It’s user choice. You will be safer using uBo to block all third-party frames than using UBo where you don’t have the option.
Since Helium is based on ungoogled-chromium, does that mean it shares most of the same security concerns?
I would assume the worst unless proven otherwise. I would opt for Trivalent if security is your focus.
If you’re making a chromium based browser, you’ll soon have to follow Brave’s lead and roll your own ad blocker. Continuing to rely on Manifest V2 is a security nightmare, and it’s only going to get worse.
Beyond that, the browser still faces a very long road ahead before it can earn its stripes.
I see chromium as… well as not good solution.
But this one seems better than others because of support of V2. Because V3 is nonsense and crap.
