Yandex and Bare are both built for people who want more from search than the mainstream offers. Here is a straight look at how they differ.
Yandex is Russia's dominant search engine with its own large index, strong for Russian-language results. It profiles users, serves ads, and raises real jurisdiction and data-handling concerns for many users outside Russia.
Side by side
| feature | bare | yandex |
|---|---|---|
| free | ||
| use without an account | ||
| no behavioral profile | ||
| no ads on the results page | ||
| no search history tied to you | ||
| minimal, link-only page |
the verdict
Pick Yandex for its strong Russian-language index. Pick Bare when you want no profiling, no ads, and a page that holds nothing on you.
Try Bare in one search
The fastest way to decide is to run a real search. Bare gives you plain links and a single quick fact when it is confident, with no account, no history, and no profile, and your query reaches the index through our server rather than straight from your device.
