[QUOTE="Zorro, post: 963393, member: 80312"] I live in Russia and have been using Yandex for at least six years. What can I say about safety? Yandex Browser has its own protection system (Protect), which checks sites for phishing, malware, and also checks all downloaded files with Kaspersky antivirus and its own antivirus engine. In addition, in the Yandex browser, you can set DNS protection, when all requests will pass through an encrypted channel to the Yandex. There is also Wi-Fi protection, a protected mode for bank payments, protection from harmful extensions. All this is described in the instructions in the online help. As for privacy? Yes, the browser can collect certain statistics in order to then show you targeted ads through its own Yandex Direct network. Does he share information with the FSB? Unknown. I remember there was some kind of scandal, government agencies wanted to get something from Yandex, but they were refused. I don't remember exactly what exactly, since it was a long time ago. So the question of cooperation with the FSB is rhetorical, nobody caught Yandex by the hand. Probably, everyone cooperates with the special services, but who admits this openly?)) [/QUOTE]
