Yandex Browser 17+

Amazing underdog browser

This browser does many things right: it was the first one to place navigation bar on the bottom, it’s controls are intuitive and easy, and the settings are rich. I love how tabs close and originator tabs come in focus when there is no more history going backwards. Unfortunately, this functionality does not yet exist for the swipe gesture. Also, I would love to have more swipe functionality akin to Safari.

UPDATE: What I meant by swipe functionality was the following. When I browse web pages back and forth, I like to swipe my finger from left to right to go back in history and from right to left to go forward. The browser does support this functionality. Unfortunately, when there is no more history to go backwards, you cannot swipe and close the page, but you can press the blank back button on the control panel for that effect. I would like this functionality be available with swiping also. Additionally, in Safari you can see all open tabs by swiping upwards from the control panel, but in Yandex browser you cannot: only pressing all tabs button works.

Finally a REAL search engine that isn’t censored!

Finally I can actually get real and “uncensored” search results instead of extreme far left wing propaganda!! I despise Google now! Half of the page is full of ads and the rest is filled with search results tailored to googles woke agenda and narratives. WHY would anyone want to use search engines that aren’t real search engines? Yandex is just as fast and has more REAL results without the fake “fact checking” articles all over the place. It’s a shame so many people don’t realize how little respect Google has for people as if we are not capable of reading all the information out there and determining what we believe. They think it’s “their” right to chose for us which search result. I’m thrilled to have a legitimate option now! We can even get real Russian news!!! Not the lies that are being fed us. Try it!!

All 4 internet freedom “help me to understand “

Up at the top of these reviews someone said there feed up with Google and there a template at controlling everything we see which I cannot agree more. So in my attempt to avoid Google and as much as possible to do with them I’ve been using DuckDuckGo thinking I was on the right path for more freedom and privacy but that person also mentioned DuckDuckGo could someone explain why and should I stop using them as well. If so favorable search engine’s would help. I recently got a phone after a little over two years of not having one because someone would repeatedly hack any device me or my wife would get so now because of Google’s and various other’s madness I’m trying my hardest to stay safe and private. Thanks for your time.
