Yandex Releases a New Alpha Version of its Browser

[engine]

Yandex has announced its latest alpha of Yandex Browser which is aimed at putting the user experience at the forefront.

With its transparent interface merging into each new web page viewed by the user, Yandex.Browser now also serves as an instant information source providing answers to some of the most popular queries. After typing a search in the browser’s smartbox, the user can see a snippet about what they are searching for – a thing, a product, a person or an event – without even having to look at the search results page. The default search engine in the new, also Chromium-based, Yandex.Browser is, naturally, provided by Yandex, but can be changed to some other search provider from a list in the browser’s settings. To reflect the idea of a website as a standalone web application, tabs in the new browser are now displayed at the bottom of the screen.Yandex Releases a New Alpha Version of its Browser [company.yandex.com]

Less is not more, less is less. The absence of X, Y or Z items from the interface should be a choice. Minimalism only successfully works when applied to the concept of getting rid of junk people don't use. Their "browser" does give me an interesting idea for an option but it would be an option. A browser should be intuitive to use by default, no browsers are at all currently.

How is this different than the full screen settings most browsers already have?
