Customizable Web Browser

Yandex Browser is a browser created by Yandex based on the Blink engine used in the open-source Chromium browser. It was first presented on October 1, 2012, at Yet Another Conference's technology conference. Yandex is the second-largest desktop browser on the Runet market, behind only Google Chrome; Yandex. Browser is the second most frequently used browser among smartphone and tablet users.

As of January 2022, the browser's share among all devices in Runet is 25.65%. The program works quickly on different versions of the Windows operating system. Yandex Browser has a special drop-down panel that gives recommendations for websites. The system takes into account your favorite and most visited sites. You can even personalize this list in a few clicks. When you type in the search bar of your Internet browser, it offers options for four different search engines.

History

In March 2010, a Chromium build called "Yandex Chrome" appeared, available for download from chrome.yandex.ru. In early January 2012, following the requirements of Google lawyers, this browser was renamed "Yandex Internet." The logo of the browser was changed to a yellow ball of thread. The address of the official page has moved to browser.yandex.ru. The differences between this product and the original were minimal: Yandex.ru focused on Yandex services and lacked synchronization with Google services. However, the work on the browser did not end there. According to Arkady Volozh, dozens of people worked on the browser for "about a year. The peculiarity of Yandex Browser was deep integration with the company's online services - for example, with search, maps, translation services, and others.

Features

Since Yandex Browser is related to Chromium, it has many of the advantages and disadvantages of the latter. Because of this, the browser is poorly distinguished by its main feature from numerous other WebKit and Blink-based browsers. By default, developers have integrated components that can often be added to any popular browser through extensions. It is believed that having features built-in by default positively affects performance, while installing third-party add-ons with the same features can reduce it. Opera browser until version 12 had a similar feature, and the creators of Vivaldi are developing a similar ideology. Some browser features appeared in it for the first time, and some are still available only in it.

Why should you download Yandex Browser on Mac?

Yandex Browser uses the structure of the Chromium open-source browser. The similarities with Chrome are apparent. It is noticeable that the search and address bar are combined, as is the overall layout. The browser is high-speed and very easy to use. It can be an alternative web browser if the main browsers are unavailable. The critical difference starts in this part. Users are offered a drop-down bar that displays a list of suggested or frequently visited Web sites. The list can be edited for personalization. When typing, the search bar will present four search engines. There is a Home button that leads to the Yandex home page.
