Inside Yandex, the Russian tech company that claims to be better than Google

IBTimes UK was granted exclusive access to the Russian company's offices in Moscow.

How the mighty have fallen. Google was a pioneer, but now they feed you not the results you want, but the results THEY want. Yandex and duck duck go all the way.

I love the company and the mentality of the people interviewed here. I recently bought shares at 19 USD a share. After the crisis, I think the perspectives are very good.

Russian web services are better and useful than american ones, I am not russian, but I've tested them, VK, OK and Mail.ru are better than facebook, youtube and instagram(yes everyone of these russian platforms have same and better feautures of those 3 american platforms, they are 3 in 1+new feautures) telegram is better than whatsapp and facebook messenger, yandex is more free search engine than google.

Google is probably old, slow and limited compared to YANDEX.

Google will sent all about your Data to big brother.

But still I use YouTube and Google maps..coz yandex maps are better in Russia..Out side Russia map doent have much data as Google maps..thats the prob..
One-day if alternative come I will switch it ..

Wait I thought this was a virus it randomly popped up on my pc and I couldn’t delete it

I was reluctant to change and so lazy to change my bookmarks or transfer them to other browser. When I changed to YAndex my life and my security suddenly got upgraded. Why? because I can visit many pages and do not get tracked, get rid of pop ups, automatic downloads, and its engine search system, gives me all kind of results that google doesnt want to show you. Certainly, Yandex interface must be more minimal, but still is my first choice.

thank you for the video!. Yandex is a good searcher, but is unestable in some ways. When one is passing photos, suddenly it moves to a next page, and also makes waste time when one try to look some of them. And this is constantly.

So far, I like both the same. I'll use both just to have more versatility! :b

Lộc luôn thật thà chấc phát, bàn tay trắng Lộc làm nên tất cả. Bây giờ có vợ có con rồi Lộc phải gánh nặng hơn bẫm sinh bản tính Lộc hiền lại chịu khó vươn lên, được gđ của Thủy thương hết lòng, mừng cho Lộc

Oh boy i wonder how they make revenue 🤔

[cristitanase]

Google is so outdated it is cringe to even mention it on.
