>using russian-made products Are you literally retarded, or just a fucking idiot?

It has to be some kind of Spyware it seems too suspicious imo

Brave browser

I'd look into Firefox or Chrome forks, or possibly Chromium. Yandex is a Chrome fork too. Yandex was great. I used and was happy with it. But the development has been kind of fucked lately. Yandex {company) was sanctioned by west and carved up by Russian government because the owner came out against the war. There's no telling what the state of the browser is now.

"shitty, intrusive, anti-privacy, woke shit" Thats why we have custom configs, pal. You can disable all that shit by modifying user.js Idk how good is Yandex browser, if u like it, use it. Lynx is the best anyway (vtubers that cant be displayed with chafa asciiart are bloat)

>>12444 >woke Russia has it's own censorship and propaganda etc >Brave censors results Do you have evidence of that happening?

>>12444 >Ideologically: Not being shitty, intrusive, anti-privacy, woke shit like Chrome it's literally fsb's fork of chrome, lol. yandex is controlled by kremlin since 2009. yandex search is very good at image/face search. it also seems to index the deepest crevices of internet, but i did not find this feature useful once. ddg's search quality dropped of a cliff early 22, but seems to rebound since. afair it gets most of results from bing. i'm using presearch daily. it was fantastic once, it's good and best nowadays.

>>13587 >If you don't use yandex then you sucks google's dick This isn't a dichotomy you absolutely fucking baboon. Open source browsers exist, nigger.

Yandex is shit and spyware, in the same category of PUP nonsense as Opera GX, even Brave is better than it, and that browser is a waste of your time, being only useful if you cannot get away from the Chromium ecosystem. The best (privacy-wise) FF-based browser (aside from Tor Browser) right now is Librewolf, being open-source as FF and providing various anti-fingerprinting measures out of the box. A less paranoid, though perhaps more politically-palatable FF browser is Floorp, made by a Japanese company, also open-source, and without the left-wing championing from the project leader of Librewolf (see the Lunduke video on the matter). From amongst Chromium browsers, you can use Brave if you hate yourself, or ungoogled-chromium if you want to take the time to re-implement the meager privacy and safety changes Brave introduced.

I sincerely don't understand posts like this. All alternative browsers are either Chromium-based, or occasionally Firefox-based. Just choose the one that has features you like and has regular updates. If you want an alt that's basic, I recommend Librewolf as Firefox with good default settings and Brave as Chrome with good default settings and an adblocker. That's it. A random alt browser isn't going to make more of a difference than that.
