Is Yandex a good alternative to Chrome and Google search?

Botnet.

>>61967778
I'd rather give my data to Russians than USA

>>61967778
I'm new
Can I get a list of things that AREN'T botnets?

Its great in russian, but their english index is bit worse.

>>61967812
Bad idea if you live in the US.

>>61967751
Does yandex let me search for gay furry stuff?

>>61967816
Well, I would start with services that don't have direct connections to government. If I had to choose which botnet to use, I would use the one that won't sell you for a bottle of Vodka or order hitmen if you are their political opponent.

>>61967917
It has better pron search than chrome

>>61967751

Tried it. Except for the tool to translate pages, Vivaldi is better. At least it doesn't keep forwarding you to pages in Russian, and I couldn't find a 64bit executable for yandex.

It also was a pain in the ass to configure search pages, it just kept forwarding me to shit in russian...

>>61967917

That would be your DNS...

>>61967751
I'm a Russian and I don't use it. Usually normies in Russia who don't know English and don't know much about computers install it because they know Yandex.

>>61967812
t. KGB

>>61967879
I live in east Europe

>>61967927
>or order hitmen if you are their political opponent
So basically neither?

>>61968111
>Number of journalists killed in the US since 2000: 5
>Number of journalists killed in Russia ONLY in 2000: 15
Really makes you think. Most of them in Russia were, you guessed it, political opponents.

What's so bad about Russia?

>>61968287
Internet is not free and they are trying to log ALL of the traffic.

>>61968287
Nothing. This place is full of indoctrinated Americans and whiny Eastern Europeans who hate Russia though.

>>61968323
>Internet is not free
It's not free (as in freedom) in America and Europe either.

>are trying to log ALL of the traffic
So? You should ALWAYS assume your traffic IS being logged anyway and use encryption at all times.

>>61968364
>It's not free (as in freedom) in America and Europe either.
Does US and most of the Europe directly block websites?

>use encryption at all times.
Encrypted traffic will be logged and stored for up to 6 months too. Yes, it's that retarded.

I use Yandex browser on my phone because it's the only browser that has a good adblock with Adguard

>>61967751
It's Ruskie version of Google, so gubmint botnet.

>>61967879
why? that's actually the best idea ever
i use mostly chinese and russian services because i will never even visit those countries

>>61968364
>It's not free (as in freedom) in America and Europe either.
They literally block hundreds of thousands of websites, ban proxy and vpn, arrest people for hate speach and "extremism" on the internet, etc

>>61968423
Don't go into politics :^)

>>61968438
i have like 20 mails every single one is registered with different personal data
>using your legit info on the internet

>>61968253

>dead journalists
>bad thing

pick one.

>>61968519
That's a quote.

I use an old version of yandex on android because it's better than the new ones. Yandex supports chrome extensions and no other browsers do. Google is retarded for not supporting them. Truth be told there are no good web browsers for android. All the devs for it are autistic rejects with shit tier design philosophy. I just want a full desktop browser that display mobile sites and no cutesy shit. Why is that so hard for you faggots?

>>61969267
Oh and one more thing, firefox mobile would be ideal if it weren't slower than the the slowest no name browsers in existence. Shit is slow, laggy and buggy. Almost every obscure browser is better than it.

yandex reverse image search is legit, it's much more accurate than google's search. that's all i use yandex for, though.

>>61967751
don't know but their yandex disk is great for server backups over curl

>>61967879
No you fucking idiot it's the best idea if you live in the western world.

>>61969328
If your best aspiration is to masturbate to 2D cartoons until you die then yes.

>>61969340
What does your post have to do with using Yandex as a westerner?

Also, does anyone use yandex mail? How good is it in regards to everyday usage for websites like banking, taxes, forums, etc.

I've been using it as my go-to search engine for a few months, it's alright.
Image search is good, I can find unlisted Youtube videos easily.

Profiling by potential adversaries.

>google
>no government botnet

Iridium, just iridium

dunno what they did, but yandex went to shit.
last year I could always find my porn sauce there, on their img search, now it's worse then google.

It's not like google got much better, it's that somehow what used to work last year simply doesn't anymore.

tiny eye has been shit for more than 5 years, one would assume that this things would get better as time passes but they all regressed. ffs.

>>61967996
it used to. it was like fucking magic.
not anymore.

>>61968400
>not having AdAway
It's like you like being cucked

If you want to help the KGB botnet instead of the CIA botnet, go ahead. Try giving them government secrets in the form of search queries.

>>61967751
Yes. Superior in every which way possible.

>>61967917
Yes, everything is allowed except criticising government
