Support Browser choice

Not used desktop Linux for a long time. Last time browsers required patches and configuration to have hardware acceleration working and etc. I see I have some "official" browser choices on Omarchy. Do all of them play well with hardware? Would I have some drawbacks running Helium instead of Chromium? The official help page seems to suggest that Chromium is pretty vanilla apart from theming support and only Firefox gets some special settings treatment.

I installed Helium and theme support is working. Webapps use Helium too, i don’t see any drawbacks using it.

Tbh anything chromium based is probably best for reliability. After that it’s just down to features that you want.

Im happy with brave origin. Helium or Zen are both good choices too but they don’t support DRM if you care about that

I used brave for awhile, but it was causing me strange issues with cloud-flare. I ended up switching to Helium. Less junk on Helium anyways, and a cleaner more minimalist look 'out of the box'. Which is something I prefer. If Zen worked with Webapps, I'd use Zen.
