Nov 1, 2025November 2025 highlights for imputnet/helium: Delivered stability improvements, UI cleanup, and maintainability enhancements across Helium core, DevTools, and related patches. Key upstream fixes addressed connectors_service_CHECK and build-time warnings for py3.14. Core stability improvements fixed chrome.instanceID.getID() hang, ensured Google Chrome is reported as browser brand, and prevented uBlock Origin from re-enabling after updates. UI and UX improvements included removing the account section from DevTools settings, keeping common icons unburgered, eliding location icon text in CAT mode, and re-enabling GTK/Qt buttons to restore UI functionality. CI and release workflows were hardened with a disk-space cleanup step and a version bump to 3. Additionally, protocol support and patch maintenance progressed with helium:// in omnibox suggestions and reorganization of patches via gitattributes remap, plus lint rule for whitespace-only changes.
