Helium Browser Nix Flake

A standalone Nix flake for the Helium browser, a private, fast, and honest web browser based on ungoogled-chromium.

Usage

Run directly

You can run Helium directly without installing it:

nix run github:schembriaiden/helium-browser-nix-flake

Install in NixOS or Home Manager

Add this flake to your inputs:

inputs.helium = {
  url = "github:schembriaiden/helium-browser-nix-flake";
  inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};

Then add it to your packages:

environment.systemPackages = [
  inputs.helium.packages.${system}.default
];

Using the overlay

You can also apply the overlay so pkgs.helium is available directly:

nixpkgs.overlays = [
  inputs.helium.overlays.default
];

Then use it anywhere as pkgs.helium:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  helium
];

Development

To build the package locally:

nix build .

The binary will be available at ./result/bin/helium.
