One of the best browsers if not the best

Possibly the best website for daily using. I have used it for more than 5 years. I switched to Yandex Browser from Google Chrome and didn't regret yet. Also, it is faster, than any other browsers.

PROS

Yandex Browser has many useful features. Personally, I use integrated Yandex Translate that allows to get translated sentences and words by just clicking (right click) on the highlighted text.

CONS

Sometimes it's confusing to save websites in favourites list. If you don't do saving process carefully you can easily make a mistake and save image instead of website.

Reasons for switching to Yandex Browser

Yandex Browser has far more features than Chrome has.

Best Alternative to Google Chrome,

It wasn't bad, it was the best choice to avoid using Goolge chrome and Microsoft Edge.

PROS

If you are looking for an escape from Big tech tyranny , Yandex is the least bad choice i was able to find, with integrated translation and bookmarks synchronization. Not sure how embedded the Russian big brother with the company Yandex, or when this company will switch to doing the right thing instead of not being evil like Google. switching to Yandex about a year ago was a reaction to how scary some huge US big tech companies started to be and much they are so embedded in our lives. and also there seems to be alot filtering and bias last few years, the companies started switching from being service companies to organisations that seems to try to manage and own us.

CONS

sometimes it switches certain things to russian on it's own with a way to switch it back.

Reasons for switching to Yandex Browser

Google is now clearly Evil after they give up on their old slogan "Don't be Evil", very embedded in our lives and has alot of bias toward stuff that servers their interests or ideology.

A good substitute for Chrome browser

PROS

A good substitute for Chrome browser. A lot Yandex oriented features.

Yandex Browser may send a lot of data to Yandex about users' activity to use them in their algorithms and advertising.

Internet Browsers

In the address bar of Yandex Browser with just 2 clicks I can share the link of the site I am browsing without having to copy and paste. I looked for this option in other competing browsers and did not find it. In the left sidebar you have the options to take a screenshot, save as favorite and much more, this is a very positive because I have access to other tabs easily and quickly.

PROS

The search for constant improvement and innovation Yandex Browser has surprised me in these few months I've been using it, one of them is the lightness and speed when navigating, considering the competing browsers that are leaving me wanting in this requirement.

CONS

Although Yandex Browser is very light and fast on a notebook, it is much heavier on mobile devices and takes up a lot of space on my Samsung Smartphones.

Yandex Browser for mobile devices gives me an amazing browsing experience

PROS

The number one thing I love so much about Yandex browser is the Extension feature. You can download and use any Chrome extension on your smartphone and have the "desktop" experience. The browser takes outside mobile browsing limits. Yandex loads pages fast. It automatically translates webpages. Their ad blocker is really effective.

CONS

The only downside to the software is that it consumes space. It eats up your phone memory the more you use the app. I need to clean my cache, storage almost every week! It can slow down a device with a small storage
