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.

I think the numbers of bugs found in Google is 20x (7 vs 153) more than Yandex:D 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!

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.

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.
