What's new in v14.12.2125.9741
We’ve updated how the app switches between tabs. The changes not only affect the browser’s appearance, but also its logic. Tabs will now display not in the order they were opened, but the order they’re visited in. For instance, the current active tab is always found at the very bottom. Please tell us about your experiences. Do you find it more convenient?

How to install Yandex Browser with Protect on Android 4.0+
You'll need about 66.6 MB of free space.
- Download the APK — tap Download APK above (33.3 MB). Chrome shows “File might be harmful” for every APK file; choose Download anyway only if you trust this file.
- Open the file — tap the download notification, or open Files › Downloads and tap com-yandex-browser-1412009741-8779895-e201f37d5047f3dc041c22b297599449.apk.
- Allow the install (first time only) — Android 8 and later asks for permission the first time an app opens an APK: tap Settings in the prompt, turn on Allow from this source, then go back. Manual path: Settings › Apps › Special app access › Install unknown apps (on Samsung: Settings › Apps › ⋮ › Special access). On Android 7 and older: Settings › Security › Unknown sources.
- Check the file (optional) — the MD5 of the downloaded file should be e201f37d5047f3dc041c22b297599449. If it differs, the file is damaged or was changed: delete it and download again.
- Tap Install — Android asks “Do you want to install this app?”. The source store flagged this file with a security warning; we recommend not installing it. If Play Protect blocks it, tap Cancel. If an earlier version is installed, this one only installs as an update when it is signed with the same certificate (SHA-1 shown above).
- Open Yandex Browser with Protect — tap Open on the install screen, or find it in your app drawer.
Common install problems
- “App not installed” — a version signed with a different certificate, or a newer version, is already installed (Android doesn't allow downgrades). Uninstall it first; back up your data, because uninstalling deletes it.
- “There was a problem parsing the package” — the file is incomplete, or your Android is too old (this version needs Android 4.0+). Download it again, or pick an older version.
- “App not compatible with your device” — this build contains native code for x86 32-bit only. Devices with other processors can't install it.
- Blocked by Play Protect — Play Protect checks apps from outside the Play Store. Only continue if you trust the source; for this file we recommend not to.
