The Helium browser is presently available only on desktop platforms. It’s available for public use on Linux, Windows, and macOS. There has been no indication of a mobile version until recently.

The developer of the Helium browser, @uwukko, posted a teaser about the upcoming iOS version on X. You can view the post below.

Titled “it’s in the oven,” the clip features a 20-second teaser of the iOS browser in action. What stands out immediately is the Liquid Glass UI. It’s present for the three-dot menu, the address bar, and the tab switcher button. The overall design follows Apple’s guidelines quite well.

The video begins by scrolling up and down, showing off the tranpsarency effects that Liquid Glass brings. It also reveals that the address bar expands and contracts dynamically as you scroll. The color and the theme of the buttons changes according to the background. It looks similar to Safari in some ways.

Tapping on the three-dot menu opens various options, complete with the expected bouncy/jiggly effect. There’s an option called “Site information,” and the settings above that are cut off in the demo. However, there’s the Favorites icon, History button, Settings button, and the Refresh button.

The tab switcher has the options for “New Tab” and “Close Tab,” but the others aren’t visible in the clip.

Moreover, it’s not just iOS that’s getting Helium. Replying to a query about whether other platforms would get the browser, the developer replied on X, saying that they target all platforms.

This implies that an Android version is also in the works, though we don’t have any design information or publicly available screenshots at the moment. It’d be interesting if it follows Google’s native Material You design.

At the time of writing, no ETA for the release is available. We couldn’t find a link to apply for Alpha testing either, and there’s no TestFlight beta link as well. Once we have information about the release date or testing, we’ll cover it on our site; we’d recommend regularly checking our coverage for that.

In other Helium news, we recently covered a story where an experimental flag in the browser lets you bypass heavily regional internet censorship and restrictions. More on that here.
