Hi, I noticed that there are behavior differences between running on an Android phone and on a tablet. In particular, incognito mode is only available for the former. So I'd like to know if it is possible to manually switch to phone mode on a tablet. Actually, these days the two types of devices are quite similar enough. Thanks for the ability to be able to run multiple versions and the ability to install Chrome Web Extensions. You are life savers!

I find the Zen feature this apps weakness. It creates lag when you open the app or try to use search bar when app first opens. It's just clutter. With out it, the screen is still rather small on the main page before opening a tab. I don't know how other versions work, Apkmirror has a few, so this only applies to Play Store version for a Google Pixel 3a XL. But I like this browser and it's my number 2.

Really the best browser app I have tried on android, very well put together UI easy to navigate, I really emphasis security and feeling protected, no issues, lots of features, fast reliable, try for your self and see. I really feel secure using this browser although thinking you have total privacy is equivalent to believing in unicorns.... JUST TRY IT AND SEE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

You guys should develop your own video player. In the video player you should include volume and brightness onscreen controls. You can add an option for it to play videos in the background. Also some people might download the video their watching, so you should consider adding a feature to download. I really think people would love this feature.

Bloated; extensions doesn't work properly. Edit: bloated with messenger and other yandex app(lavka etc). If I wanted those things, I would've downloaded those apps. As for extensions I can't access their settings from settings>extensions. Some can be accessed from main menu while visiting a page. But NoScript didn't work even from there.

If ur tired of Chrome then this Yandex browser is worth a try (despite being based on American chromium engine). But it seems Yandex is living in pre 2015 era where features like DNS, inbuilt adblocker tracking protection (ineffective), edit toolbar, media features (see banana browser & Samsung browser), save webpage offline, new tab, site notifications is missing. Browser becomes extremely sluggish after few days. Battery & data consumption very high despite saver activated. Improve with time.
