Yandex Browser for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

Microsoft ended support for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 in January 2023. Since then, many popular browsers have stopped releasing updates for these Windows versions. We kept updating Yandex Browser on these operating systems to ensure the security of our users' data.

Today, Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 have so many vulnerabilities that Yandex Browser's security measures can no longer mitigate them. With user security as our top priority, we have made the decision to end support for these versions of Windows.

We recommend that users with obsolete operating systems upgrade to Windows 10 or higher and install the latest version of Yandex Browser.

The latest Yandex Browser version has:

  • Enhanced security.

  • Faster website, music, and video loading.

  • A lot of new features powered by neural networks.

If you can't stop using an obsolete operating system for whatever reason, use the last Yandex Browser version released for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. However, we strongly recommend upgrading Windows to protect your data.
