This is still the same version 16.4, but with the Zen recommendations feed, updated tabs and bookmarks bar.

Many users are well familiar with the recommendations from the mobile Yandex.Browser. The experience of implementing this feed on Android and iOS turned out to be so successful that our team decided to transfer it to the desktop. And if you think that we are talking about a simple news feed, then this is not the case at all.

Zen is a personal selection of materials from a wide variety of sources that is of interest to you. No matter what site you visit, Yandex technologies learn to understand your interests and select from the whole variety of materials exactly what should suit your taste. Zen is based on Yandex's many years of experience in the field of machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and machine translation. And for this magic to work fully, we recommend that you log in to yandex.ru and enable the sending of statistics (Browser Settings – Personal Data Protection – Send usage statistics to Yandex).

And now about tabs and the new browser panel. Now it doesn’t matter whether your tabs are located at the top or bottom. They look and work the same. The active tab is now always colored in the color of the site, and you can easily find it among all the others. The address bar has also changed. We made it a little more visible and got rid of the excess stroke.

This is not the final version of the browser header. We continue to collect feedback and experiment. For example, already in this version some users address bar will not move down when opening a new tab. I remember complaints from readers of our blog that the line "jumps", so we are now testing a new option. We also listened to your advice and raised the bookmarks bar. Now it is located immediately below the address bar.

And one more thing. My colleague, who is responsible for finalizing the new interface, asks you to report all problems and errors to support. Your requests will not only help him fill his free time with work, but will also stimulate him to quickly make changes to the new interface.
