I use Yandex a lot now for not censoring me. Maybe I'll have to try this.

It is funny to see people relentlessness stanning a paid service that's built on a notoriously fraud prone crypto stack, then getting paranoid about something about as sophisticated as Lexus Nexus because it's hosted out of Evil Country.

I hope nobody here bothers to interogate where their torrents are being hosted from too closely.

I'm not a spy or part of the government, but Yandex is Russian... I tried them like 10 years ago, but I wouldn't take my chances with them.

Its a search engine, what are they going to do, give some guys search history to Putin?

I generally use it for finding streaming sites.

Yandex has plenty of services just like Google. They have an email service, cloud storage, etc.

I'll only switch to yandex if it's obvious that Google (via startpage) is censoring my results. Or if I'm looking for a torrent or something.

Ya that is the bulk of my use, streaming sites and such.
