Best search engine for any censored topics in mainstream western engines
they are now based out of israel
I look at it like this. Do I want the US government with my search logs(google, bing). Or do I want the Russia government that has no power over me having access to them? For me its an easy choice.
It’s a sodomite strong hold I hate it with every ounce of my being
I blocked it because the search engine seems to almost direct you to illegal and sketchy links. It’s a Russian opp to poison American minds, imo. I avoid it and highly reccomend everyone else does too.
I use yandex alot for looking at things Google wants to hide due to politics. I think its an accidental honest search engine and the last one.
Other than streaming I don’t use it.
Privacy will be worse than any western one as they at least have more independence/follow some privacy laws, and more interested in money than helping the government.
Doesn’t work well with iCloud private relay, much of the time I get endless captchas, meaning they want you’re actual IP address.
And its censorship is going to be no better, more than likely worse. It will encore anything related to Russian state interests. And for not censoring Western stuff, there’s a good chance some of the stories will be pushed about the west by the Russian state, i.e. a form of propaganda
Terrible terrible idea, they sensor super heavy
What X and Y free live stream can you find on it that you can’t find in Google?
So since Russia (probably?) Doesn’t work with our countries, then it’s better?
This is a privacy thread, and you are asking about Yandex?
Um… Owned by Russia.
have to agreed with u on pivacy and streams…i always used yandex for it aswell alternative to mainstream news/info if anyone into it, trying brave but seems times missing things.
I’d rather Google took my information than Russia.
Literally spyware from Russian government for spreading Kremlin propaganda
For those who are downvoting, I’ll give you an example: in the first year of the war with Ukraine, if you searched for Bucha or Mariupol, there were no mentions or images of the destruction of these cities by the Russian military in Yandex.
Wort to try fore some queries
I live in Russia. Indeed, many companies producing legal content have left us; accordingly, there is simply no one to send requests to remove content.
According to legal norms in the Russian Federation, copyright holders can file complaints about content only if they have a representative office or registration in the Russian Federation. Russian companies are not required to respond to requests from other countries.
Thus, pirated content is partially legalized.
Their image search is the best. Its Russia so your trading American privacy concerns for Russian ones. Consider accordingly.
Didnt russian gov make piracy legal back in May 2022?I thought thats the reason why yandex doesnt seem to have any strict anti piracy measurements
I do not agree with you. I think that no one should use any Yandex product ever if they have the slightest care about privacy.
Just what I wanted to say. Thank you
