Yandex Browser (Russian: Яндекс Браузер) is a freeware web browser[5] developed by the Russian technology corporation Yandex that uses the Blink web browser engine and is based on the Chromium open source project.[6] The browser checks webpage security with the Yandex security system and checks downloaded files with Kaspersky Anti-Virus.[6][7] The browser also uses Opera Software's Turbo technology to speed web browsing on slow connections.[8]

The browser is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

The browser is the second most popular desktop web browser (the third as a mobile browser) in Russia at 21.5%,[9] while it is less popular in most other countries, e.g. in Ukraine fourth at 4.45%[10] and globally has less share than Internet Explorer (which is ninth at 0.64%).
