The beta version of the browser you're using doesn't use uBo, which was developed by Gorhill.
It's a fork:

GitHub - imputnet/uBlock

It's impossible to say without checking the manifest whether there might be any “hidden surprises,” but at the very least, a quick check of the extension's permissions would be advisable.

I really like the concept behind Helium, but I'm concerned that a team of only two developers might struggle to keep up with critical maintenance. Can they realistically handle timely security patches, bug fixes, and Chromium updates with such a small workforce?

I'm trying Helium; it seems to work well, but I noticed the scrollbar doesn't appear on websites and extensions, and it uses approx. 1.2–1.5 GB of memory.

Hi,:)
i have a technical question.
In the Speedometer 3.1 test, ChatGPT runs slower on Helium than on Chrome.

I’d be interested in seeing the difference between Helium + a fork of uBlock Origin and Edge + uBlock Origin (obviously with the same settings and rules).

Could you check this out?

P.S.

Unfortunately, I've identified over 400 open issues, change requests, and feature requests on GitHub..................

Let's see if the Helium team can timely handle patches and fixes. Anyway, I've replaced Vivaldi with Helium. It works well, but I've noticed an issue: the scrollbar mostly doesn't appear in websites and extensions; sometimes it appears and then disappears again.

Yes, it's more than Brave but not that much like yours
