Tell HN: Don't Be Afraid of Yandex
There have been two threads in the last days about alternative search engines. I&#x27;ve noticed that whenever someone mentions Yandex, there is some skepticism and some users are &quot;afraid&quot; of using it due to being hosted in Russia.<p>Well let me tell you, there are some benefits to this: mainly it has a more permissive content policy compared to Google in some cases.<p>It&#x27;s important to note that Yandex still complies with local laws and regulations, they are just different there.<p>I&#x27;ve used to resort to DDG when Google just wont (want to) display what I was looking for. It seems it has been neutered too. Yandex has not.
