    Many thanks indeed.
    What about the option "install without modyfing registry".
    Can this offer vantages/disadvantages? Advisable or not?
    What is the better choice?
    Thank you very much in advance

    Yandex is based in Russia.

    Running a Russian browser, such as Yandex, on Western systems poses potential security risks due to the differing interests and regulations between Russia and Western countries.

    As a Russian entity, Yandex is subject to Russian laws and regulations that require it to cooperate with the Russian government in ways that may compromise user data or security.

    This leads to concerns about data privacy, surveillance, and the possibility of backdoors or other security vulnerabilities being introduced into the browser.

    Is there any reason why Waterfox (more privacy-oriented spinoff of Firefox) doesn't seem to be mentioned? I've been using it for years, and it still lists Win 7 as the minimum operating system.

    There's something wrong with the adeii Waterfox portable version. It's always using 50>% of CPU no matter what, even if no websites are loaded. I noticed this when I realized that all YouTube videos are stuttering.

    Yes, that is the basic problem in a nutshell.
    We have all been looking for a substitute and wasted hours and hours with installing silly suggestions from people, who believe theirs must be the best, because they like it...

    Firefox ESR. I will support myself.

    If you need vendor updates: Revert to MSIE 11 which will be updated with security patches until the end of Server 2008 R2 ESU support. But then you will have to accept the old layout engine that MSIE 11 has.
