The Yandex browser is based on Opera which uses the Chromium engine. The installation grabbed all bookmarks, history and cookies from Firefox, the switch was almost seamless. Looks very good so far, feeling like a real Russian bot now.
NoSript is not in the extension library, that was almost a no-go. But I could install it from https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/noscript/doojmbjmlfjjnbmnoijecmcbfeoakpjm and transfer the white-list from Firefox.
Well shit. Opera is owned by some Chinese company.... Not sure that would be much better.
I trust the Chinese to have removed the CIA shit from Chronium, and the Russians to have removed the Chinese shit from Opera.
I just tried the browser on Linux. It was a hot mess. Half the text was randomly in Russian, and I can't create bookmarks without an account. Hard pass.
I'll try the search engine though
True lol. Maybe I'll try it out. Hopefully it's on Linux
