Is Yandex open source or is there a company that runs it?
Yandex is a Russian company.

Nobody tell them
Without the /s, yes.
Whose founder/CEO takes an anti-Russia stance in the Ukraine war and has fled to Israel since the war started
This is true. However, Yandex is still essential to understanding the Russian perspective, as it’s used by a solid 60-70 percent of the Russian population.

Isn’t Yandex what Superman wears?
Google search, now brought to you by Radio Free America
Is there a way to change that menu option in firefox where you highlight something and right click to ‘Search Google for XXX’ to search Yandex?
In settings under the Search tab there’s a hyperlink under Search Shortcuts for “Find more search engines” once you add Yandex it’ll pop up in the list.
Yandex isn’t ususlly gonna have better results. The overwhelming majority of English language stuff is written from a ruling class perspective. That’s not gonna change because you use a non-western search engine, although the ranking algorithm might be less sus. But Yandex is definitely way less useful for most Wnglish language stuff. I do try to use it sometimes.
what i meant is that there is some blatant censorship on Google search. Anything related to Russia-Ukraine war for example returns western propaganda outlets. Yandex is more balanced.
also great for piracy and as other commenter mentioned, porn.

It’s completely insane. I tried searching “Genocidin Biden” like 4 days ago and only got some White House BS about how Genocide Joe is like… well, totally against genocide.
Now at least our this great term has been picked up by the bigger meme sites and they can’t hide it anymore.

Can you elaborate a little - are we talking like OCH sites? Torrents?
yea yandex shows torrent sites which google censors. search “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse torrent” and you will see basically no results because of dmca removals. Search on yandex and youll see results from rutracker, rutor etc
Yandex is also a great source for torrented movies, fyi,
Damn, maybe I really should use Yandex for more than just finding porn that’s too removed for Google

wait also what would be too removed for Google?
edit: the original comment came across as accusatory, edited to better reflect my intended tone. apologies to the comrade above
Weird furry drawings don’t pop up on Google. Google is shit with anything femdom as well. Also, trans porn is infinitely better on Yandex, Google definitely censors trans porn results.
Why do you people always go straight to accusing victims of sexual abuse of being pedos, it’s fucking gross and there’s no reason for it. There is an entire world of sexual deviancy that has nothing to do with children. I want to look at pictures of fat Pomni, Yandex gives far better results for a search like that.
woah, hey i am sorry. i didn’t mean for my message to come across as an accusation, just a genuine question. that makes sense, thank you and I am sorry
I generally get worse results for english text search.
Their translate + reverse image search + image search are all MUCH better though.
