More About Yandex Browser (alpha)

Experimental version of a quick and intuitive Yandex Browser.
Use Chromium extension stores such as Chrome Web Store or Opera Addons to increase what you can do with Yandex Browser.

Get rid of annoying ads on websites with ad blocking.

Protect your personal data when using public Wi-Fi networks and stay away from harmful or fraudulent pages with the browser’s active security system Protect.

Hide unrelated interface elements — ads, site menus, buttons, or widgets — and leave only the relevant text and accompanying images on the screen with Reader Mode.

Surf the web in private using Incognito Mode — Yandex Browser will not keep track of your passwords, search queries, or browsing history in this mode.

One minute there are extensions, the next minute they are all gone. I have extension Wallets like Petra, Leap, Bitkeep, venom, Idriss, so many others which works and shows up on kiwi Everytime, but Yandex doesn't even bring them up when I am to choose wallets, whereas they are there installed. It's infuriating. But the app overall performance is fantastic btw.

I prefer the Dark Reader extension. It works great for making websites dark however it periodically turns itself off in Yandex. I'm constantly having to go to the extensions page and turn it back on. Can you please fix it so it will stay on until I turn it off? That would be awesome. 😁👍

This is an alpha version so you should Ideally update the chromium engine same as chrome canary.. Here it is running on v89 which is quite old. When playing any youtube videos, the notification panel is becoming slow kind of switching to 60hz Open in app feature is irritating.. It should directly open the link in the app instead of asking everytime to open in app or in yandex

Browser is good, but let us give an option that when we exit the browser - it will delete cookies, history and every othwr thing automatically. ( Microsoft edge, opera, firefox ) has this option. and please change your search har to bottom. and let us set start page as about:blank.

Been using yandex in my laptop for a while, now it's my first time using it in my phone and I absolutely love it. I'm tired with chrome sub menu thingy that you can't even turn it off (for now). Won't go back to chrome anyway cause yandex is better at almost everything compared to chrome. I think a performance improvement will be nice because the browser is just a bit laggy. It's not ruining my experience tho. 10/10 would recommend to my friends 👍

Very good! But needs more adblocking, possible AdBlockPlus intergration, And a dark/black theme for AMOLED devices. Also there does appear to be a bug with changing search engines from Yandex to Duckduckgo, as it doesn't seem to care what I choose and auto defaults to bing. Srsly do the Dark theme next update please! I love this browser, but Ill switch back to rocket browser if not cause thay white hurts my eyes, man!

Always a bright white flash appears when loading pages in forced dark mode. Very cumbersome for late night browsing. Please turn the initial content loading colour from white to black/gray like on Firefox Desktop or samsung Internet. After that the browser will be perfect. Edit : It happens while opening any page from the home page, when the browser is launched.

I really like the new UI, also I appreciate the new search image button on the search bar for a quick access so I can instantly use the best reverse search engine in a second. Cool the new welcome screen for new users with a quick overview of the features. I'm really satisfied with the last yandex updates overall on their services.

There are 3 things I'd like to complain about: 1. I hate the automatic sign-in function. If I've signed to a Yandex account on Yandex Taxi, Yandex Browser will automatically detect this account and sign in for me without my consent! 2. I need to translate Russian to English, but the browser always offers to translate to Russian and I have to select English every time when I need to translate something. 3. After the recent update I simply can't find the "translate" button anymore.

Has good features but it needs improvement. Not all the items on the homepage are consistently labled. some links are clear and easy to understand where others are labled with "DESCR_..." the voice search feature doesn't work as it speaks another language and there could be a night mode with accessibility features in the accessibility section.

Used this for two years with a Huawei. I was very happy with it especially the translation option. After 2 years I have quite a few bookmarks. Now, after a March 2002 update they are inaccesable. I can scroll over about a dozen and then the app hangs. I appreciate this is an alpha release app but this prob. needs fixing if it is going to continue to be any use at all. - I was contacted by the developer and this issue was ameliorated in the next update. In subsequen releases it has been resolved.

Alpha, browser with protect, all introduce same problem. Extensions will stop working by itself. I used 3 extensions and it happen to al 3 of them. Already email to the team for months but the problem never solved. Check reviews it seems I'm not the only one who experience it. Don't you ever ask me to file report. I report at least 3 times but problem still persist. Disappointed at the team. Time to drop this browser

First time use this browser. Works better and like a charm especially on android box tv to watch movie online then any other browser! Even opera is useless. Opera, after for a while using it will suddenly fail to load movies. This is common problem on opera browser. Other browser lag a lot! Some mistake on video player itself. Lack option. But this browser is winning it, even it's ads block is the best of best! Can even block annoying lazada app that constantly reappear us in playstore!

Very effective browser. I love the UI of the browser but with the recent upgrade I can't seem to connect to extensions. Like these extensions are there but if it's needed for a website i can't connect to them. It's honestly very frustrating and it makes my phone hang. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times and that doesn't work. Can something be done about this please

Already one the best browsers in the entire store. Speed, navigation and acessibility are all great. The only real(as of early 2022) downside is the lack of options regarding extensions, otherwise this browser would be number 1. Update: nevermind the extension thing. You can install all chrome extensions, so dark reader and no script, both a must for me, work perfectly.

All is but there no option to see individual site cache and clear is individually like other browser.

The best browser I had. This version of the yandex browser is much smoother than the original version and also does not occupy RAM space. But it would be better if the ads section had more options to limit ads and trackers, such as manually updating easylist and geosites.

1) I have open in app checked and it still doesn't open the Amazon app I have to touch menu and tell it to open the Amazon app then I have to touch the Amazon app because it's showing the Amazon app or Vavldi browser. Now that is annoying. Need clear history, cache-data, cookies all separate on exit. Could easily be five stars if you fix these two issues. But please fix the opening app problem first that needs to be addressed.

Been a huge step up to have the browser tell you of any changes! It's very intuitive without being patronizing or dumbed-down. Still it serves as a media station more so than an application to view the Web through; everything, from the HTML viewer to download and data management station, feel extremely smooth and simple to understand. I do wish some of the utilities like Translate will continue improving, but that's outside of the web experience anyway.

This is better than the original and beta versions, especially cause of being able to continue playing videos immediately while leaving the app to something else. I.e it doesn't require one to go full screen first. This would definitely be the best Android browser if it offered dark mode when viewing articles. Come on Yandex! You're holding me back from making this my system default browser.
