Helium Browser: A Radical Commitment to Transparency, Privacy, and User Consent
Transparency efforts behind the Helium Browser
We built Helium with transparency, privacy, and consent at its core, ensuring every line of code is public and builds are reproducible. Our browser refuses ads, dark patterns, and data harvesting, asking for your explicit consent before any service runs. We publish our legal documents on GitHub and invite you to hold us accountable if we ever break our promise to protect your digital freedom.
People are not data harvesting endpoints for companies to leech off and build empires on top of.
