Yandex Browser is a free Chrome-based browser featuring a fast, minimalist interface with unique features like Stealth Mode.

It takes Chrome up a notch, starting with its “Tile” looking home page and a background of your choice, including animated wallpapers, making this a familiar look to Windows 10 users. Yandex calls this “Tableau.” Yeah, we had to look it up. I think the best fit is “a graphic description or representation.” Those who prefer a minimalist appearance can restart from settings, load it without the background photos, etc. See the last screenshot for how that looks. It is also capable of warning you of dangerous sites and uses Kaspersky for download scanning.

One nice feature is Stealth Mode; it permits you to block cookies, track devices, and effectively hide your IP. You can also get extensions, manage your downloads, and even sync across devices. You have access to numerous language translations.

Another plus is that Google Chrome users will find using Yandex Browser a similar experience, making it easy to use. Installation and web page rendering is very fast, even in beta form. As a Chrome user myself, I am digging it.
