Yandex has their own fork of Chromium: http://chrome.yandex.ru/ http://chrome.yandex.ru/
It's called "Хром" (Chrome).
Edit: this link is also the first one* if you search for "chrome" (or "хром") on Yandex: http://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text=chrome&lr=13461 http://yandex.ru/yandsearch?text=chrome&lr=13461
Note that Yandex is the market leader.
*) Actually, it's zeroth (an ad that looks like search result) and 6th (the actual result).

- Wilya 15y agoI didn't know that. Given that the "No-search-choice" code is in Chromium's codebase (as opposed to Chrome's), this might mean that neither Google nor Yandex want that change. From what I saw, in Russia, Yandex has more reach to distribute its own fork than Google. So leaving the choice of the search engine isn't beneficial to any of the two. It could be more of an agreement between Google and Yandex than a Google offensive.
