Hoy me dió por probar helium,un navegador basado en otro navegador más llamado ungoogled chromium y que trae de interesante este navegador? pues por lo que e notado muchas cosas entre ellas que utiliza sus propios servidores para actualizar las extensiones,incluso las listas de ublock origin que usa porque este navegador mantiene el manifiest v2 y viene con ublock preinstalado algo que no e visto en otros navegadores base chromiun,solo en algunos base firefox como librewolf,lo que puedo decir acerca de los servidores es que son transparentes y a que me refiero con transparentes? que no recopilan absolutamente nada y todo esta a traves de un proxy,lo bueno es que si quieres puedes hostear tus servicios para helium.

Lo que si diria de este navegador es que el uso se siente bastante rapido que hasta podria decir que anda un (poco) mejor que librewolf en terminos generales y eso que lo e usado por bastante tiempo.

Quizas podria dejar a este navegador como mi main aunque no soy muy fanatico de chromium personalmente,pero aun asi este navegador me da bastante curiosidad aunque sigue en beta.

Tambien aclaro que el navegador es open source.

Burner Todo progress report:
Some custom styling is added to make it look nicer. I also found a way to compile the Python code into C (using Nuitka) to make it more performant, smaller in size. And the AppImage version is also done, except there are still some desktop integration issues, AppImageLaucher and other tools can't integrate it for some reason. Will figure out what's the issue.

Eu estava lendo o GitHub do Helium Browser e pelo que eu compreendi eles vão manter o suporte a extensão MV2

Testando o Helium Browser um navegador focado em privacidade, ele é um fork do ungoogled-chromium e para ficar melhor só falta abas verticais e suporte a DRM.

MakeUseOf: I finally found the open-source Chrome alternative Brave promised to be. “Helium is a new cross-platform browser that prioritizes privacy without the bloat of Brave. It’s built on Ungoogled Chromium, comes with uBlock Origin baked in, and lets you opt out of everything during setup. Is this the Chrome alternative Brave promised to be?
