If you’re a fan of Haaland and are excited about Norway's win, you have to switch to this Norwegian employee-owned browser. 😌 I don’t make the rules. 🇳🇴✌️
It's been three days since June ended...so if you're missing a little bit of rainbow in your life, here's a trick: 1. Go to Settings 2. Write "biscuit" in the search field 3. Enable the checkbox that says "enable rainbow mode" ...et voilà! You'll now have a rainbow browser load bar 🌈

Some days we sit inside debugging, some other days...we row by the waterfall. 🚣 Hope to beat France tonight! 🤞🇳🇴
