Switched from Chrome to Edge and now to the Vivaldi browser. It's Norwegian, highly customizable, privacy-focused, blocks ads and trackers, and still uses the Chromium engine. vivaldi.com #Vivaldi
Vivaldi Browser | Powerful, Personal and Private web browser
It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built-in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

According to Wikipedia, binary puzzles are also known as Binairo, Binero, Takuzu, Tohu-Wa-Vohu, Eins und Zwei, Binoxxo, Zernero, Tic-Tac-Logic, and Sudoku Binary in different parts of the world. I'd love to know what they're called where you live!
