Do you know if Yandex mail has a friendly API? One of the things that keeps me on Gmail is that they have an API with many language bindings that I have used on occasion.

Also, I see that they have their own browser?? https://browser.yandex.com/ I assume it's just a rebrand.

i highly recommend Yandex browser. it is a Chrome fork, but it appear to be heavily modified with extra security features added. Such as DNSSEC pointing to Yandex's own DNS servers. I presume everything that phones home to Google has been ripped out of Yandex browser, much like Ungoogled Chromium. I like Yandex browser mainly because it puts the URL bar at the bottom. Google removed that feature years ago. Yandex browser also integrates with all of Yandex's services, like Mail and Disk.

and yes, Yandex has an API for everything. You don't need language bindings as long as your language speaks HTTPS.
