Recently switched my main browser back from Edge to Helium. I thought I liked vertical tabs, but what I actually wanted was a minimal UI and maximum working space.
Helium now has vertical tabs, but the real highlight is compact mode. Address bar and tabs sit on the same row. Clean, tight, and space efficient.
Paired with my Maple theme and Maple bookmark extensions, the setup feels just right. Comfortable, focused, no noise.
Fully open source, privacy first, unbiased ad blocking, no bloat. Simple and lightweight. Highly recommended.
