4 | [](https://github.com/jqssun/android-helium-browser/blob/main/LICENSE)
5 | [](https://github.com/jqssun/android-helium-browser/actions/workflows/build.yml)
6 | [](https://github.com/jqssun/android-helium-browser/releases)
7 |
8 | An experimental Chromium-based web browser for Android with extensions support, based on
9 | - [Helium](https://github.com/imputnet/helium) by [imput](https://github.com/imputnet), as well as
10 | - [Vanadium](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium) by [GrapheneOS](https://github.com/GrapheneOS)
11 |
12 |
13 |
14 | ## Usage
15 |
16 | ### Installing Extensions
17 |
18 | Navigate to [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/), then enable **Desktop site** by selecting the menu button ⋮ in the top right corner and ensure the option is checked. Select **Okay** and proceed as normal if prompted with:
19 | > The Chrome Web Store is only available on desktop.
20 |
21 | Once you select **Add to Chrome**, [the extension will be installed in the background](https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769) until the button changes into **Remove from Chrome**.
22 |
23 | ### Debug URLs
24 |
25 | To view and access the debug URLs, use [`chrome://chrome-urls`](chrome://chrome-urls). For **Experiments**, use [`chrome://flags`](chrome://flags).
26 |
27 | ### WebRTC IP Policy
28 |
29 | Consistent with both Helium and Vanadium, the option is available by selecting the menu button ⋮ in the top right corner, then **Settings**, **Privacy and security**, then under **Privacy**, **WebRTC IP handling policy**. If you experience issues with WebRTC due to the IPs being shielded by default (e.g. [Discord Voice](https://discord.com/blog/how-discord-handles-two-and-half-million-concurrent-voice-users-using-webrtc)), you may try to change it to **Default public interface only**, or **Default**.
30 |
31 | ## Implementation
32 |
33 | > [!WARNING]
34 | > All builds are experimental, so unexpected issues may occur. [Helium Browser for Android](#helium-browser-for-android) only attempts to improve security and privacy where possible. For better protection on Android, you should instead use [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org) with [Vanadium](https://vanadium.app), which additionally integrates patches into Android System WebView and provides significant kernel and memory management hardening on the OS level.

74 |
75 | The full build aims to be consistent with [Helium](https://github.com/imputnet/helium-linux), which means additional patches are necessary before all features can be ported over. All [Vanadium](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium) patches are applied by default. Further patches are underway.
76 |
77 | ## Building
78 |
79 | This repository provides the build script to compile on the latest Ubuntu, and may also work with other Linux distributions.
80 |
81 | To build these releases yourself via CI (e.g. GitHub Actions), fork this repository. Supply your `base64` encoded `keystore.jks` and `local.properties` (containing your `keyAlias`, `keyPassword` and `storePassword`) to [**Repository secrets**](https://github.com/jqssun/android-helium-browser/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml#L28-L29) under **Settings** > **Secrets and variables** > **Actions**. To generate a release, go to **Actions**, select **Build**, and select **Run workflow**. Under **Runner**, you can either use a GitHub-hosted runner by entering `ubuntu-latest`, or `self-hosted` for your own hardware.
82 |
83 | ## Credits
84 |
85 | This project would not have been possible without the huge community contributions from [Helium](https://github.com/imputnet/helium), [Vanadium](https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium), as well as [ungoogled-chromium](https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium) and various other upstream projects.
86 |
87 | All credit goes to the original authors and contributors. This project is named to reflect support for [Helium's](https://helium.computer) naming in a recent controversy.

1 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 | Version 2, June 1991
3 |
4 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
5 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
6 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8 |
9 | Preamble
10 |
11 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
13 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
15 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
19 | your programs, too.
20 |
21 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27 |
28 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32 |
33 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
37 | rights.
38 |
39 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41 | distribute and/or modify the software.
42 |
43 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48 | authors' reputations.
49 |
50 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55 |
56 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57 | modification follow.
58 |
59 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61 |
62 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
65 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71 |
72 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
74 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78 |
79 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85 | along with the Program.
86 |
87 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89 |
90 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94 |
95 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97 |
98 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101 | parties under the terms of this License.
102 |
103 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113 |
114 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123 |
124 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127 | collective works based on the Program.
128 |
129 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132 | the scope of this License.
133 |
134 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137 |
138 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141 |
142 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147 | customarily used for software interchange; or,
148 |
149 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
151 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152 | received the program in object code or executable form with such
153 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154 |
155 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
157 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
160 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164 | itself accompanies the executable.
165 |
166 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171 |
172 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178 | parties remain in full compliance.
179 |
180 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
183 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187 | the Program or works based on it.
188 |
189 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195 | this License.
196 |
197 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209 |
210 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213 | circumstances.
214 |
215 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
220 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224 | impose that choice.
225 |
226 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227 | be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228 |
229 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
235 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236 |
237 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
239 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240 | address new problems or concerns.
241 |
242 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
243 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
247 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248 | Foundation.
249 |
250 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257 |
258 | NO WARRANTY
259 |
260 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
262 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
267 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269 |
270 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275 | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279 |
280 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281 |
282 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283 |
284 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287 |
288 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

312 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313 | when it starts in an interactive mode:
314 |
315 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319 |
320 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322 | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324 |
325 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
328 |
329 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330 | `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

335 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339 | Public License instead of this License.
