[!NOTE] Helium is currently in beta, so unexpected issues may occur. Please report them if they haven't already been reported.
The easiest way to download Helium is helium.computer. It'll pick a compatible binary for your platform automatically.
The same releases can also be downloaded from source on GitHub:
All Helium packaging, tooling, services, and components are open source and published on GitHub.
macOS is our primary development platform, so it's the recommended development environment for community contributions.
Linux packaging includes a similar development script, so the same guide can be applied there too.
> See development docs in macOS repo
Before contributing to Helium, please read the guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md.
The Chromium Project is at the core of Helium, making it possible in the first place.
This repo is based on ungoogled-chromium, but heavily modified for Helium. Special thanks to everyone behind ungoogled-chromium, they made working with Chromium way easier.
Helium includes some patches from other open source Chromium browsers:
All patches are sorted by vendor in the patches directory of this repo.
All code, patches, modified portions of imported code or patches, and any other content that is unique to Helium and not imported from other repositories is licensed under GPL-3.0. See LICENSE.
Any content imported from other projects retains its original license (for example, any original unmodified code imported from ungoogled-chromium remains licensed under their BSD 3-Clause license).
