Helium

many new ways to make your browser feel "just right" dropped in helium today: - centered address bar - minimal address bar - new dynamic layout - improvements to vertical layout - and experimental zen/frameless mode (flagged, bit buggy, but cool!) helium.computer

@aPinix right, forgot to mention that it’s still flagged: x.com/heliumbrowser/…

@heliumbrowser Updated, but "Zen mode" it's not appearing :S Do I have to enable something? Thanks in advance

new this week in helium: - web content frame with concentric rounded corners that dynamically adjust based on the adjacent surface across all platforms - a whole lot of zen mode UX and stability improvements that make it a joy to use, including new options to pin the sidebar or the top bar. for example, you can keep the toolbar pinned, but reveal vertical tabs on hover! - split view and side panel UX improvements that make all panels inside helium look consistent, coupled with dynamic rounded corners - better default theming with brighter shades and cuter colors - redesigned link hover bubble, which is now consistent across all platforms - custom profile avatars (thanks to a community PR!) - (almost) full translations to all languages thanks to the community efforts on github - UI rendering fixes on windows that make helium look even better and consistent with other platforms - security fixes (latest chromium) - other small improvements that make helium better you can get the latest release (0.11.5) on helium.computer or github: #downloads" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/imputnet/heliu…

@xoudoesthings they're all here, with more options to come soon!

@heliumbrowser nooo my colors

not a fan of the rounded frame? you can turn it off in settings and enjoy consistent content separators instead:

@stolinski damn right

Helium is the best browser

zen mode is WIP, so it's currently disabled by default, but you can enable it via a flag if you want to try it early: 1. open helium://flags 2. search for helium-zen-mode btw, you can pin the sidebar and autohide the toolbar via cmd/ctrl+s in zen mode:

@Mirteaaa @firefox Gecko feels sticky and gross to the touch and if you insist on using it Zen clears it by light years anyway but Real Men use Helium helium.computer

if you want vertical tabs, privacy and no bloat go download helium.computer and if you like helium go follow @uwukko & @schlizzawg, the makers of helium this isn't an ad, it's a good browser

still can't decide on the best keyboard shortcut for toggling the sidebar, but we will come up with the best solution for this over next few updates

and with today's update, you can now position vertical tabs on the right side! we also made a few improvements based on your feedback, including saving the sidebar width and collapse preferences across sessions

we will keep improving vertical tabs in future updates, and we hope you enjoy the first iteration!

helium just got experimental vertical tabs! now you can choose between three browser layouts: classic, compact, and vertical :) helium.computer

great browser choice at 12:11

Helium browser is actually really fast and you'll feel it instantly
