We strive to improve Yandex Browser with every update.

Updates don't always add new features, but they improve app performance, optimize the way the app works, and give you more security and protection against viruses and malware.

Not enough space to install

To install Yandex Browser, you need at least 100 MB of free internal memory on your smartphone. If necessary, free up the space.

Note

External memory (for example, an SD card) doesn't count. On some smartphones, you can move the browser to external memory — but only after installation.
