## Description

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.
