Yandex.Browser is an alternative Web browser with a streamlined interface designed to make your browsing experience as quick and enjoyable as possible. You can import all of your settings from your previous default browser, and you'll be ready to start surfing the Web in no time.

Pros

Smartphone sync: If you have this app installed on your smartphone as well as on your Windows computer, you can take advantage of several nice syncing features. Of course, you'll have all of your bookmarks and history saved on both, but you can also make phone calls with just a click of your mouse. When the two devices are connected, clicking a phone number on your computer will initiate a call to that number on your smartphone.

Security: This browser has several nice built-in security features. For instance, it warns you when you visit potentially dangerous sites. It also scans all files you want to download for viruses, so you can avoid creating problems on your computer or other device.

Smartbox: The smartbox is a small, additional search box that you'll find in this browser. It's quite useful for getting answers to questions quickly, as well as bringing up hard facts and figures.

Cons

Links from Word: This app did not respond when it was set as the default browser, and we attempted to open a link contained in a Word document. Multiple attempts were unsuccessful, but once we changed the default browser back to Chrome, the link opened properly in that browser.

Bottom Line

Yandex.Browser is a smooth and fast alternative to the major browsers available today. It's free, and while we did discover one minor bug, this will probably not inconvenience most users much. If you're interested in improving your Web surfing experience, this is a good option to try.

GCG1000January 11, 2016
Pros
1. Great theme-based GUI. 2. Accepts most Chrome extensions. 3. Superior rendering speed. 4. Comprehensive security features built-in! 5. Modest memory footprint. 6. Excellent language translation capabilities. 7. Extremely stable.
Cons
None at this time.
Summary
Great default browser Does everything I want in a browser. Well worth a try and it's free. Updated on Mar 30, 2016I would like to find a pure 64-bit version of Yandex. Otherwise, it remains one of the VERY BEST browsers available! THIS IS NOT AN AD! Updated on Mar 30, 2016I would like to find a pure 64-bit version on Yandex. Otherwise, it remains one of the VERY BEST browsers available! Updated on Jul 12, 2016I am currently using YB ver. 16.6.1.30165 as my default. This version of YB is: faster, safer and more secure than previous versions of YB. If you decide to use YB, stick with the "Classic" skin, as it has more space for Extension icons, than does their new interface. Truly YB is one of my favorites; unique, innovative and professionally designed. Well worth a try and it's FREE!
Great Browser
Artiom JankovskijJuly 23, 2015
Pros
Fast, easy to use,minimalist. Combines Opera Turbo and Chrome in 1 place. Fair play from Yandex as it gives you choise on the main screen to choose search. In comparison, on mobile Google doesn't even let you change the default, even if customer wants.
Cons
Haven't found any problems yet.
Summary
Excellent browser to use. I suggest to give it a try and form your own opinion.
Doesn't work with Netflix
dexteriotJuly 21, 2015
Pros
Free. Chrome based
Cons
Doesn't work with Netflix. Maybe it works in the US, but not in Canada. When you go to netlix com it supposed to redirect you to netflix com/ca. All browsers do that redirection i.e. firefox, chrome, opera etc, but not Yandex, and when you try to watch something it keeps saying Too many redirects, clear cookies otherwise its the problem with the server. I beg to differ because it is a problem with Yandex, all other browsers work just fine. Also didn't like the fact that it automatically imported settings from Opera without asking.
Summary
useless for Netflix, so maybe also not good for other streaming services
Happy I discovered it
March 28, 2015
Pros
I usually use Chrome, but recently installed Yandex (not the new alpha one, just the one called Yandex.Browser) and am really enjoying it. I am a sucker for crisp text rendering and Yandex is great in this respect. Way better than e.g. Firefox, which displays fonts with jagged edges.
Cons
none that I can think of
Summary
Highly recommended.
Combination of Chrome and Opera Browsers
emale03March 4, 2015
Pros
Combines the functions of Opera and Chrome browsers with great speed in the "Turbo" mode. Speed-dial and translations cause this to be the best browser available today. A great DEFAULT BROWSER.
Cons
ABSDOLUTELY,,,POSITIVELY,,,NONE!!!!!
Summary
Combination browser of th best of Chrome and the best of Opera in one fast browser
not only for Russians, it great little browser
g-fonJanuary 17, 2015

GCG1000May 6, 2014

Very nice minimalist GUI, yet very complete. A fast and secure browser HELP is now in English! Sync now works in English. Good default substitute for Chrome. No bloat.
Cons
There are no cons at this time.
Summary
It's free, give Yandex a try, you will not be disappointed.

Developer’s Description

By Yandex

Surf the Internet safely with a Chromium based browser.

Simple and fast: Launching Yandex only takes a few seconds. The browser interface includes only the most necessary buttons, and plenty of space for viewing pages.

Favorite sites are easy to find: When opening a new tab, you see the Tableau -- a panel with an arrangement of thumbnails (widgets) for the pages you visit most often. To go to a desired page, just click its widget. Keep up with events: widgets can display up-to-date information (weather, traffic, or social network notifications).

Translating web sites to your language: Yandex can translate web site pages to your native language. It recognizes 13 languages, including English, German, French, and Ukrainian. If you find an unfamiliar foreign word, put the cursor over it and hold down the Shift key. The browser will tell you the translation.

Push to Call: Yandex.Browser for desktop will help you quickly call numbers found on the internet. Just one click on the number on the site and Yandex.Browser for mobile phones will dial it on your smartphone. In order to enable Push to Call, install Browser on both devices and set up syncing.

Virus protection: Yandex own system scans millions of websites every day. Yandex.Browser will warn you if you try to visit a harmful site. Every file you download will also be scanned for viruses by Kaspersky.

Syncing: Use Yandex.Browser on any computer, smartphone, or tablet. Your bookmarks and Tableau are available everywhere and load automatically after logging into the browser.

Backgrounds: Change your browser background as often as you like. Select one of the default images or upload your own.
