Yandex Search Unofficial Extension

This is an unofficial extension adding the Yandex search provider

The Yandex Search Unofficial Extension adds the Yandex search engine provider and a convenient "YA" keyword to your browser's address bar, enhancing your search experience even when Yandex isn't your default engine. It offers features to improve the Yandex search results page, including a Zen Mode for distraction-free browsing, replacement of Yandex's standard font with classic Arial for better readability, increased font size and paragraph spacing, and the option to turn off the side panel.

Privacy is a key focus: this extension does not insert referral links or collect any browser metadata, ensuring your search habits remain private. Though unofficial, it provides a user-friendly and privacy-conscious way to customize your Yandex search experience.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Yandex Search Unofficial Extension requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
