Helium Browser has been one of the most requested first looks from the community, so here it is. Built by a two-person team, Helium is an open source Chromium-based browser that ships with uBlock Origin and provides an experience with zero bloat. Can it compete with Brave? In this video I showcase the differences and who I think Helium is (and isn't) for. A couple things worth noting: Helium also supports !bangs and vertical tabs, two features I didn't cover in this video. Neither changes my overall take, but they're worth knowing about if those matter to your workflow!
