Hi there!
As the Helmet Browser developer and founder I would like to invite experienced, enthusiasts and new mac users to test the Helmet Web Browser Firewall - yes, a browser + personal firewall. (Not just another Chromium-based 'private' or 'ad-blocker' web browser).
The Helmet Browser technical specifications and the form to Become a Tester are available to anyone who wants to try, test and evaluate the world's first web browser (I didn't find one, so I decide to develop), that implements a built-in firewall and integrates external VirusTotal API natively (optional) for personal use, among other firewall / protection capabilities.
Helmet is a personal project that I've started a year ago and initialy it was developed to meet my personal needs. It is completely de-coupled from the Google Services APIs, except for the embedded Translation feature. Helmet is a Chromium-based, multi-processed hardened with Apple App Sandbox by default with a strong security posture. To understand why Helmet is safer than general public web browser visit Helmet Web Browser Firewall website at: https://www.helmetbrowser.com
Helmet is only available for macOS (arm64 and x86_64) throught the Apple TestFlight invitation.
Helmet is inviting mac fans to Become testers by submitting a basic Volunteer Tester Program form: https://www.helmetbrowser.com/tester
To submit the Become Tester form only name and e-mail are requested. All other information are related to understand the tester profile, level of knowledge and technical interests.
* As all Apple TestFlight testing application, testers can perform In-App purchases to have access to all Helmet features in order to test all features and app functionalities during the test period.
I would like to thank all internal and external testers to the joint effort to make Helmet even safer.
I'd like to also thanks to the great teams from:
