# Helium
Bullshit-free web browser, based on Chromium. Follows [imput](https://github.com/imputnet)'s ethics and norms.

<h1>Helium</h1>
</p>
<p width="120">
The Chromium-based web browser made for people, with love.
<br>
Best privacy by default, unbiased ad-blocking, no bloat and no noise.

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.
If you don't like it - you don't like it, that's totally okay, and we don't care.
## Downloads
> [!NOTE]
> Helium is still in beta, so unexpected issues may occur. We are not responsible
for any damage caused by usage of beta software.
There's a lot more to Helium, but we don't have a complete set of features yet.
We'll update the documentation when we're closer to a public release!
Best way to download Helium is to open [helium.computer](https://helium.computer/) on your computer.
It'll pick the right build for your OS and architecture automatically.
## Platform-specific packaging
At the moment, only [Helium for macOS](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-macos) is polished and ready for daily use.
If you wish to download builds "straight from the tap" with all options in one place,
you can do it on GitHub in the Releases section in each platform's repo:
- [macOS](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-macos/releases/latest)
- [Linux](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux/releases/latest) (AppImage)
- [Windows](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-windows/releases/latest) (no auto-updates yet)
We also have packaging for Linux and Windows, but both of them are WIP:
- [Helium for Linux](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux) (AppImage)
- [Helium for Windows](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-windows) (no auto-updates yet)
## Platform packaging
Helium is available on all major desktop platforms, with entirety of source code
for all of them published here:
- [Helium for macOS](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-macos)
- [Helium for Linux](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux)
- [Helium for Windows](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-windows)
## Other Helium repos
Along with the main repo and platform packaging, these projects are also a part of Helium:
- [Helium services](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-services)
- [Helium onboarding](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-onboarding) (the onboarding page seen in Helium at `helium://setup`)
- [uBlock Origin packaging](https://github.com/imputnet/ublock-origin-crx)
