    Nowadays everybody uses Google Chrome as a web browser. I am interested in whether somebody wants to see BlackBerry OS or BlackBerry 10 browser for its Android devices?

    Nope. Plenty of good options out there already. No need to have BB waste money on a hugely crowded segment in the app game

    I use the AdGuard extension for blocking ads on it and can't complain.
    I also use Fennec and FireFox Focus (because three browsers are better than one).

    Edit: added FOSS Browser to my list lol

    Keyboard Browser is pretty good - got nearly all the BB10 features including keyboard shortcuts.

    Read these links. The second link pages 3 and 4. Then you understand what I mean. There are even move apps acting the same way. I listed aps, which I use.

    Maybe in its heyday but now it's too outdated.

    I am very happy using the Firefox Focus browser, which is a dedicated private browser, for 90% of my general Web browsing in Android. Then I use my PW manager's secure browser for any service I log into.

    Between those two, I can avoid the vast majority of badly behaved Web sites in terms of tracking and other activities I don't want to deal with.

    Same here. I also use the Focus browser after MoNa sites were promoting it last year.

    I'll be blunt.
    1) Yandex is made by Russian company in Russia.
    2) TTBOMK, soon (in a few days or in a month and a few days) there will be in effect the law (called the "Jarovaja law", or something sounding alike) that forces all ISPs (yes, Internet Service Providers) to _broadcast_ ALL Internet traffic to state agencies + STORE ALL TRANSMITTED INFORMATION for 30 days at least and likely even more.
    3) As the browser originates from a country with such a law - guess what can they get feeding that info to Artificial Intelligence.

    TL;DR
    Stay away from Yandex as far as you can.

    T'he Russians can looks at my browsing history if they want. I don't care. The U.S does as do many other countries. If they don't have anything better to do than to spy on my browsing habits then the world must be in a pretty good place.

    Yandex is a pretty good browser.

    Lol, Russian state agencies do not spy _personally_ on you. They just do their best utilising available permissions. IMNSHO, they are about to get over the top of those quite soon.

    Why do you even bother to look for BlackBerry if your privacy is not a concern for you? Can you please share your incentives?

    I'm using Keyboard Browser by Alain Grange since yesterday. Immediately fell in love with it. It is pretty much the BB10 browser on Android. BlackBerry should employ the developer and integrate this browser in the Hub+-Suite or at least pre-install it on KeyOne / Key2-devices.
