3 ★ If ur tired of Chrome then this Yandex browser is worth a try (despite being based on American chromium engine). But it seems Yandex is living in pre 2015 era where features like DNS, inbuilt adblocker tracking protection (ineffective), edit toolbar, media features (see banana browser & Samsung browser), save webpage offline, new tab, site notifications is missing. Browser becomes extremely sluggish after few days. Battery & data consumption very high despite saver activated. Improve with time.

3 ★ Downloaded it yesterday, together with the keyboard. The keyboard showed 516MB of storage after the set up, uninstalled it, installed again, and now Is only 110MB?! This browser beta app os a beauty, but NO tab groups, and uses too much storage, more than 300MB, when the other more popular but good browsers, use less than 200MB. Hard to keep when memory space is so important in our devices.

5 ★ adblock fast stopped working a couple days ago, but adguard still works with this browser. edit: adblock just stopped blocking ads. data and cache clearing, rebooting, disabling and enabling all didn't help...

5 ★ Love the ability to personalize many features including background pic & easy to understand the slew of functions available

5 ★ As someone who spends a significant amount of time online, finding a web browser that combines speed, functionality, and innovation is crucial. Yandex Browser, without a doubt, has exceeded my expectations on all fronts. In conclusion, Yandex Browser has become my go-to web browser. Its speed, security features, customization options, and innovative features like SmartBox and Yandex Zen make it a standout choice in the crowded browser landscape.

5 ★ Powerful and visually appealing browser. Contains a bunch of interesting features (such as saving pages to PDF or a "return back to browser" overlay if opening links in external apps). One of the few browsers that does cross-device sync in a usable manner. Very fast and friendly support (something I hardly experience especially with larger entities on Play Store). Most of the Yandex offers possibly could do with some polish for non-Russian language speakers but that's another thing and not really related to the browser. Recommended.

3 ★ Has good features but it needs improvement. Not all the items on the homepage are consistently labled. some links are clear and easy to understand where others are labled with "DESCR_..." the voice search feature doesn't work as it speaks another language and there could be a night mode with accessibility features in the accessibility section.

4 ★ Really love the browser. I switched from Chrome to Yandex and it was definitely worth it. Two suggestions if I may: 1. Please add the "pointing down arrow" not only beside the suggestions that appears on the omnibar but also beside the historical URLs. This will help enormously as it will not need us to write the full url before seeing the inner pages suggested. 2. Improve the feature that let us write few letters in the URL to receive the suggestion. Thanks.

4 ★ I love your keyboard !!!!!! But the browser i don't like the bottom bar ... When you have buttons on the bottom and your looking at pics or other apps with bottom buttons with the home and back buttons that's three sets of buttons in one spot .....no i don't have the time past a review its simple ... You need to make the bottom search bar adjustable and when you do ill be back 1000 percent ! :) thanks and stay safe :)

5 ★ A good solid browser, easier to work with than most others, full features of bookmarks, able to search images, vids, websites etc. Fully able to open and log into any social media site, saves passwords etc and has a few neat settings, I love the built in translator which immediately recognised the text, language and translates entire webpages easily. To me it's faster, less lagging and handles cache memory much better

4 ★ Yandex is a really good app homewer why does it not support Ublock Origins which is one of the most IMPORTANT extension also seem like extensions cannot be downloaded anymore from the Google chrome web store so can you fix this? once again, really good app cant wait for new future updates.

5 ★ Yandex Browser is not only a superior browser App to a myriad of other browsers; it too has a much smoother, straightforward and elegant user interface (UI). I believe Yandex Browser alongside a throng of Yandex Apps will be; globally, the next big thing in the competitive browser and consumer useful App market. What is required is more interlaced and integrated English version of Yandex on all platforms and operating systems (OS).

3 ★ I just started using it from today. I was using UC browser which is stopped in my country. Few things please input the finger gesture options on the full screen/ Landscape like to increase volume, brightness and to fast forward the movie. Rather than taking pointer from one point to other. Kindly take it into consideration.

5 ★ All things are perfect but some issues are there first the live translator ,there is no any option to disable . And second issue is when we add extensions some time the extensions are not added but it shows adding and when we try to added another extension it shows pending because first one is on download .and last issue is that there are no any option or Button for back home page . Pls solve this love u 💓 team ❤️...love from India 🇮🇳.

5 ★ Good browser, love using the beta. Definitely needs to improve tab organization and the built in ad blocker (since you removed our ability to use Ublock Origins). Latest update made start page too high, it cuts off some website squares A great feature would be the option to star tabs so when you click close all, the stard tabs will stay. Since this is beta, maybe it's time to clean up the settings interface a bit. Facelift/organization in order. Lastly, translate only translates to Russian :).
