Firefox actually had it during beta testing but they somehow decide to but it at the end of the Address bar instead. 2. The Graphics, Curve, Looks more like better then the comparatively toyish Chrome. 3. The Options have always belonged to the Tab Bar and not the address bar. To me i think tha…

How is Opera mini a scam?

Never make such claims without providing sources.

We will see :-) Wondering what they would be using the Opera tech for: http://www.newsweb.no/newsweb/search.do?messageId=312626

Indeed, Holmes. Opera Turbo in the next version of Yandex.Browser.

Also they licensed Opera Store (http://apps.opera.com ) for Yandex Store for Android (http://store.yandex.com ).

Here's what I see when I visit that page: http://imgur.com/bwf5N (Tl;dr: a blurb of text saying it's not available for Linux, that's it, no info about what it is etc.) Non-Linux peeps: do you get an equally uninformative landing page?

what for?

One possibility "Russian pride". That might be wrong guess but there lot of things Russian simply to have something "Made in Russia" (e.g. yandex search itself).

Yandex search launched in 1997, a year before Google. It was the only search engine that could understand Russian morphology.

I'm sticking with Firefox because Mozilla respects the Linux community. And use Yandex from my Firefox? Why should I make a compromise when you don't take my platform seriously? Thanks, but no thanks.
