Yandex Browser (Russian: Яндекс Браузер) is a freeware web browser developed by the Russian technology corporation Yandex, that uses the Blink web browser engine and is based on the Chromium open source project. The browser checks webpage security with the Yandex security system and checks downloaded files with Kaspersky Anti-Virus. The browser also uses Opera Software's Turbo technology to speed web browsing on slow connections.

The browser is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

The browser is the second most popular desktop web browser (the third as a mobile browser) in Russia at 38.05%, while it is less popular in most other countries, e.g. in Kazakhstan third at 9.5% and globally ranks ninth at 0.4% after UC Browser (which is eighth at 0.63%).
