Yandex.Browser for Windows is a simple, fast, and efficient web browser that builds on the Chromium format.

This app is like browsing in the fast lane. Downloads, videos, images, and websites themselves, all load at incredible speeds with Yandex. This is, in part, because of a simplified UI and a Turbo Mode that reduces data usage. The quality of web pages is reduced to improve the overall experience.

New tabs provide the perfect example of the interface overhaul. There’s a Tableau that provides an organized set of thumbnails with suggested, favorited, and frequently visited websites. These widgets make it easy to visit sites with one click. These can show detailed information for each page like weather, traffic, or social media updates.

Yandex also blocks advertisements, widgets, and other intrusive elements that ruin the browsing experience. Other programs require additional add-ons or extensions for this feature. While this application allows third-party additions, they’re not required for ad-blocking. It’s also open-source and allows for endless customization.

Yandex is also almost impossible to breach. This means that personal information, like passwords and usernames, are always protected. Browsing history, bookmarks, and other data are also protected within the program.

There are options in Yandex to disable flash plugins. Its security system also scans websites as they load. It can detect malicious pages and provides a warning when it discovers any severe issues. Downloaded files run through an integrated Kaspersky scanner.

Where can you run this program?

Yandex runs on Windows 8 and later. It’s also available for Android, Mac, and iOS.

Is there a better alternative?

No. There are other options, like Firefox, that have more extensive customization options and add-on compatibility. However, the speed that Yandex provides is unmatched. The data protection quality is also equal to, or greater than, other browsers.

Our take

The application has a sleek interface with incredible load times. It’s easy to use and has a simple drop-down menu for access to all of its tools. Themes and color options provide a personalized experience.

Should you download it?

Yes. If you’re looking for a browser that makes surfing the internet a breeze, this is a fantastic choice.
