I recently switched from Chrome to Yandex beta, I like its security features (among other things). You won't find another browser like this.

I give my vote to Firefox but that's just my opinion.
someone may have a different opinion.

You're not going to get much feedback on Yandex. Nobody uses it here. On top of it, if you research Yandex browser vulnerabilities and such, you might rethink your decision to swtich and return to Chrome, Edge or whatever you were using previously. Yandex browser has vulnerabilities that are discovered but go unreported, whereas Chrome, Edge have bounty programs. Yandex is not that great if you dig deeper.

Ah, that is what I was waiting for! Thanks for the informed feedback.
And Yandex search engine uses Session Replay scripts...

Bing is default search engine.
Maybe if you install in Russian, it is Yandex, don't know.

I think the numbers of bugs found in Google is 20x (7 vs 153) more than Yandex so google is Leading in the term of bug and vulnerabilities. I also believe the Agnitum ppl working on this browser!that's how it has HIPS!

I know Yandex has a bug bounty program. Compared to Chrome, few people are paying any attention to Yandex. That is what I meant. Nobody is looking for vulns in Yandex.

That's because there are people actually looking for vulns in Chrome. Nobody is looking for vulns in Yandex - that's why there are so few vulns reported.

If you don't speak Russian or Turkish, you are very unlikely to be targeted by malware exploiting a vulnerability in Yandex.
And if the vulnerability affects all chromium-based browsers, it will be patched.

You are right but at the same time few ppl gonna hack Yandex browser xd, right?
That seems like a reasonable logic except if you dig deeper on Yandex you will find the criminal elements target it. Of course Yandex browser is not going to have nearly as many vulns as Chrome itself because it is built upon it.
I am out of this discussion. You guys have to learn and figure it out for yourselves. Research it.
