User reviews
This is a truly amazing addon. Makes it very easy to search using Yandex within the address bar, just by adding a zero to your search terms. No nags to make it your default browser. This makes it super convenient to find results for media that Google removes. Also, somehow the developer coded the add on in a manner where I get far fewer but more pertinent results than the actual yandex website without having to solve a gazillion captchas!
