Is Поиск Яндексa safe?
Поиск Яндексa sets tracking cookies across Yandex domains and sends daily usage telemetry including a persistent UUID to Yandex servers.
On install and daily thereafter, the extension generates a persistent UUID and transmits it along with browser version, install date, and advertiser identifiers to soft.export.yandex.ru and yandex.ru. It also writes tracking cookies to Yandex new-tab URLs across five country TLDs each hour, and reads and modifies the 'ys' session cookie on nine Yandex domains to embed the extension version, allowing Yandex servers to identify extension users across all their services.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
4 other listings published from this account, 12.0M+ users between them. 2 of them carry a finding.
Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 3.0.3.24. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
