Find this to be the one with best prospects for me out of the lightweight browser list. Although module weighs in at 106 MB, complete with codecs and flash as far as videos are concerned, am progressing it on account of decent support. So far getting back response within a couple of days.
yandex-20.8.0.864-1.xzm md5: 2a3ace020680502638e00e46649e3f25
There is also manual for which need man manbun-1.6g-x86_64-3.xzm and setting of env var MANPATH=/usr/man

If anyone cares to check it out, in settings select language before going to setup wizard. Grateful for feedback if sometimes experience delays of a few seconds in switching or closing tabs. Sometimes there is lag of up to 9 secs. Not sure if it's the weak computer or the browser. With PaleMoon after a while system can freeze up with 100% cpu and it also happens here too, but have better control here.

So far in my testing, missing an icon in the Porteus Menu. :)

Added in 1 hour 17 minutes 38 seconds:
It does work. Requires a keyring which I'm not use to seeing. Want's the user to sign on to Yandex which I would prefer not to do. Saves passwords and prompts to translate everything to Russian. Help is in Russian also.

I need to download the manual to change settings. :)

Added in 49 minutes :
A way to invoke the browser with a native language operand would be useful. :)

@Ed_P

First thing go to settings and change language, right at the end Language and Region Settings. Then do setup wizard. Ignore the keyring. Tell it to not translate in settings. The thing with password/bookmark, I think you might have to join yandex and then cancel.

Where did ypu find help? Can't find help anywhere. After changing settings everything is in English so far as I can see.

Thank you otan.

Actually Yandex Browser settings icon > Settings > System > Language and region settings > Page display language :)

Didn't encounter the keyring thing in Porteus 5.0rc2. That occurred when I was in 4.0.

Hi otan,
I downloaded the yandex.deb browser from yandex.com
Then deb2xzm
Yandex.xzm is smaller, only 99.5 MiB
Why ?

"APorteus-XFCE_ru-v20.09.11-x86_64.iso" includes "Yandex-20.8.3.132-x86_64-1.xzm".
Please refer to ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus (Post by neko #36689)

Thanks.

As Russian I say to you - Yandex browser is a 'Russian' base on Chromium SPY browser.

I think so too.
Therefore I set it into Russian version ISO.
You can check how it will act as "SPY".

Thanks.
