Yandex.Substances

Recently, a new utility , Yandex.Ilements, has been released . Promises convenience, choice and other benefits of civilization. I decided to figure out how this thing works. It turned out that they insert Yandex. Elements Substance is not childish.


There is a feeling that Yandex is simply looking for new ways to pump its share of anabolic and all sorts of doping.

Step 1. Installation.
Already during installation, Yandex openly reports that it will track information about your surfing.



Step 2. Results.

After installing Yandex.Elements in the browser (and there are versions for all browsers), irreversible changes begin. Of course, all sorts of standard tricks of Yandex. Bar such as replacing all searches and starting on Yandex have not gone away. But in addition, Yandex breaks the usual user-experience browsers.
Vyshkivaya search lines (serch boxes) cleaned up, capturing the address bar and replacing the church box with their icons.



Step 3. Protect.

Elements, of course, a defender. It responds to the change of home and the installation of "alien" plug-ins. The worst thing is that if before you could just remove the extra toolbars, now Yandex is hiding them and now you are not even aware of their existence. At the same time, resources continue to eat off.




Step 4. We pump over.

Now you need to pump up the share. Everyone knows that a few tens of percent of all queries to search engines are navigation queries. Needless to say, if these are requests in the address bar, and not in your favorite search box or web interface.

So why not use this funny story to pump your share?

We are looking for "Vkontakte", through Yandex:



The request is forwarded through Yandex servers, pumping a share to it:



Kukutz has already craftily declared that access to alternative search engines is now easier. If you leave the question that it is not so, then you will notice a curious fact.

If you search for the same query via Google:



That, the Elements will send you directly to the site, without any probros through Google.



Step 5. Dependency.

The most interesting begins after the removal of these Yandex.Ilements. There are several irreversible effects:

Remote service box - not returned. Hidden by Yandex toolbars also do not return to the site and it is impossible to return them (although formally they remain still in the system). And you remain forever with the only annoying line from Yandex. Everywhere hard as the virus is prescribed Yandex.



It remains only to wait for Yandex to launch Elements, but rather, “Substances” into its giant distribution network pumped by millions of dollars (and this event is unlikely to take long), and then the real war will begin.
