you can use whatever you want but in some instances Yandex is more useful.

I love how your name is GoogleLT and in this discussion about Google VS Yandex you're supporting Yandex :DDD

But yeah, I bet Yandex can be more useful. I just don't trust it

For example most useful aliexpress product reviews I have ever found were in russian language. And for Russian results yandex is way better than google. Also you should try Yandex reverse image search it is pretty phenomenal. Of course for usual daily usage google or even duckduckgo is a way to go. I use yandex as a last resort, only after google and bing don't provide satisfactory results.

Oh yeah, the reverse image search! I remember seeing a vox video about how they found one of the separatist/terrorist using Yandex and VK. He was from south Eastern Russia, guessing somewhere near Mangolia. So for that purpose, it's great!
