About this app

Yandex Browser — stylish and secure, with voice search and data compression.

Get rid of annoying ads on websites by integrating third-party blocking apps 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.

Customize your Yandex Browser with a wide array of backgrounds in the wallpaper library to suit any style or mood.

Access your favorite websites and bookmarks on any of your devices — just allow syncing of your data via your Yandex account.

If you have any questions or suggestions, you can contact us straight from the app, or via https://browser.yandex.com/feedback.

The best browser I've used. It lets you install a proper ad blocker such as uBlock Origin, and you can even run its scripts. But note that installing it and setting it up is a highly technical business, and it usually fails to send security code numbers to your phone so that you have to try over and over, and when these do arrive there is a wodge of text in front of the number so you can't read it from the popup. But I won't take a star off for that because once you get it going it's brilliant.

Works just the same as any of your regular browser and works well on an Android device, is easy on the system usage whilst being stable, also works with Chrome extensions which is a huge plus. However, the search/input bar is on the bottom of the screen as oppose to the top, takes a little getting used to but otherwise highly recommend.

Despite setting the app language to English, and trying automatic, everything in the app remains in Russian. Same with the search results too. I've set my region to UK, yet nearly all of the search results are in Russian. I've restarted it and reinstalled it many times but it always remains in Russian. And supposedly it has ad blocking built-in but the few sites I did visit before removing the app were still full of ads.
