Not the biggest fan of Chromium based browsers. Thoughts on Helium ?

    So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a fork of Chromium?

      Mmm, its versioning keeps up with Chromium, and the source just looks like a bunch of patches to me:

      Not a fork, I don’t think.

        Sorry what did you mean by “Helium is a fork, so they can keep compatibility going forward”? A fork of what?

          It’s not a fork, IMO. It’s just a set of patches to upstream Chromium.
