![]() Over the years i've easily accumulated over 20 (if not 30) of them on Firefox. At least "confliction" stories between them (on any browser) has diminished considerably over the years. ![]() |

Yes, just joking, each to their own and if people add fifty extensions to a browser then that's up to them. I prefer to keep them to a minimum, but then that's just me.
![]() I think it's not a bad idea to have the ten built-in extensions on this browser, some of them are useful ones, and popular. |

I think an extra add blocker as a back up if the other for some odd reason stops you don't have to install you just turn it on. It also saved you some time. I just learned this browser noticed my browser struggling to load the page graphics so, it only loaded some graphics with the option to load all if you wished to, nice consideration. |

Looking around, most Chrome based browsers have some extension or other annoyances added on by default (Slimjet for example: has mouse gestures but also bookmarks in toolbar to eBay, Amazon etc.). Moves like these remind me of the "Hello" and "Pocket" extensions recently added to Firefox by the brains at Mozilla. All of which could be handy for newcomers but an annoyance (akin to useless toolbars) for established "geeks". |

Hello brotherwilbur, just to clarify;
1. Are you saying that the version of Yandex you have installed is Russian, meaning the language that the browser displays when looking at settings etc. is Russian? 2. Are you saying that you are using the English version of the browser displaying settings etc in English, but you are getting Russian pages in your search results while using the default search/start page? |

Just installed latest Yandex and it is at 15.10.2454.3865
Really like the new icon! They seem to have done away with their transparency style of viewing pages. Feels more like an Opera/Chrome clone now. Gradually appearing extension icons issue seems to be resolved. ![]() |

Yes, 15.12.2490.3614 Beta is the latest version. Best to download it from their official site, that way you'll get the version that's in your language. If you use other download sites you'll sometimes get the Russian version - which is why I asked brotherwilber the question.
The default start/search page in the English version is Russian for some reason, you have to change it in settings - manage search engines, or you'll get Russian pages in your search results. Also, the Russian entry of the search engine cannot be deleted, unlike the others. And I suspect that was what brotherwilber was referring to. |
