Makes sense to those who'd rather phone Moscow than Mountain View.

Something tells me this browser isn't really aimed at us.

At least wrt searches you can easily send info to, say, AOL, every browser, Y.B included, allows that. (It is interesting for the Russian-speaking auditory to note that Y.Browser doesn't include search engines of other Yandex's competitors on the Russian market - Mail.ru and Rambler, while it has Ask, Bing and whatnot).
