Back in 2011, Yandex was actively engaged indevelopment of its own Internet browser. The reason was the introduction of Google in its browser Chrome search capabilities only through its own search engine, which was the reason for reducing the number of users of the Russian search engine.

New Yandex.Browser, like the browser from Google, built on the basis of Chromium, but went much further. First of all, you should pay attention to the design of the program. The tabs are rectangular, not canted, like other browsers, which makes the application more solid.
The design of the browser interface can be attributed to minimalism: a string for entering the address and search, the "Back" and "Yandex" buttons, as well as the settings button in the upper right corner.
Separately, you need to pay attention to address bar, combined with the search string. On the right side it has a kind of sharpening, which is typical for the logos of all the products of Yandex.
