helium now ships with a rounded frame around web contents by default frame's rounded corners are concentric and dynamic across all platforms, matching the expected system frame radius and adapting based on the adjacent surface and try the improved zen mode!

this week, i also updated the default chrome colors, so there's better contrast and system consistency the default light theme is no longer dark grey, and toned themes look way cuter than before:

a lot more good stuff in this update, such as custom profile avatars:

as far as i'm aware, this is the most detailed rounded frame implementation in any web browser yet. corners aren't animated in this build, but i'll try to get them to transition smoothly in the future :P

what if the entire browser window color matched the website content like tabs on dia

What about using a system material in the chrome? As a flag at least? (just to try it out)

yeah, this is the prerequisite

I thought it was already perfect and it just keeps getting better. Peak browser.

a selected tab looks like an input now :-(

i love it i love it

It looks amazing, when you said "all platforms" I wonder how it works with wayland compositors

Love the zen mode, is there a shortcut for collapsing/expanding tabs in vertical mode ? I really want to use it but need this to be able to use it

ctrl/cmd+s

Thanks

hello mr helium, is it possible to add the ability for the browser to not close the window when the last tab is closed and instead go to an empty new tab page or something

I really love Helium and what you're building. Would it be possible to add a UI scaling option? On high-resolution displays the UI feels very small, which makes it uncomfortable to use.

oh it’s so pretty

been on helium for a good while now but fully swapped over from FF today, the one thing I'm missing is that middle-clicking to the right of existing tabs pops a new tab on FF, otherwise this thing is perfect

I need firefox unload tab feature so helium wont use my resource on unused tab but I still need them be there to open faster

done

have it just added? I've never seen it before

it's been around for over a month iirc

can you make ctrl w to hibernate on pinned tab instead of close it? like zen does

next version

I'd love for pages to automatically open as divide when "option" key is held. Arc did it well. useful when clicking links, pressing enter on the url bar... The current dragging paradigm is a bit clunky

helium is literally the best browser ever made

Any chance of getting built in updates for Windows, soon?

неплохо конечно но чисто из принципа зачем ты оформительствуешь контент?

чё

типа в чем прикол рамок они конечно норм выглядят и хорошо что концентричны но зачем отжирать эти 4 пикселя у контента ради чего ради вот этого??

во-первых 3 пикселя, а во-вторых для визуального объединения и лучшей сепарации панелей (split view, side panels, т.д.) в интерфейсе можно отключить если не нравится:

про сплит вью понял соглы но с выкл оно все равно в сплит вью включает рамки вопрос зачем по дефолту делать рамки соре за доеб просто реально не понял прикола

Yall cooked so hard with helium, I still use 5 browsers daily because I’m sick but helium is by far my fav atp

Порекомендовал другу хелиум, в целом доволен но его очень напрягает баг когда вкладки в группах некликабельные в самом верхнем краю окна. Ишью на гитхабе уже есть, сделано две недели назад

Not sure why this would be enabled by default

Fantastic browser, thank you so much for your hard work

this looks so much better

Helium was always lacking somewhat in the looks department imo, with those tiny tweaks its already top tier though. Great work!

You should definitely add the small Zen right-click context menu, much more compact

please make zen work in fullscreen 🙏

Didn't know you could drag a link to the side like that!

How do I enable Zen mode?

Oh, thx man I really love Helium and it get's so much better with every update 😌

Hi! Can i expect an android version of helium soon? 🙂

is there a way to revert this? i'd prefer the darker color when the tab selected unlike this.

i just updated from helium-0.7.5.1 what did i miss?

everything

Damn look like quite a lot of features and qol Gonna scroll the app account and find out then 😭

WTF I MISSED A LOT YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS NOW?? THAT SO COOL

Yeah, this is the best browser out right now. Period. Thank you for your hard work!

The traffic lights are way to close to the corner and looks like a eyesore alongside other native apps.

Is there any plan to add customizable keybind to toggle zen mode?

can you disable the frame?

"On all platforms" except linux where we get one rounded corner and no concentric rounded corners (see themes: default, gtk) nearly had me excited for an application that properly rounds its corners on GNOME! haha and in zen mode the + retreats to... above the window
