Overview
If you have developed a content blocker on the Android platform, you can integrate it into the mobile Yandex.Browser. Then Yandex.Browser users can install your extension and use it for blocking ads and other unwanted content.
Note
The Content Blocker API is supported in Yandex.Browser versions 16.6 and later.
When a user chooses the extension in the browser settings, the browser requests filters from the extension and uses them to start blocking unwanted content on web pages.
Even if the user installed multiple content blockers on the device, only one of them can be selected in settings.
Why you should integrate your extension into Yandex.Browser
Yandex.Browser integration expands the audience for your extension. In 2015, the Yandex.Browser mobile audience reached 10 million users and continues to grow.
Which extensions can use the Yandex Content Blocker API
The API supports extensions developed for Android smartphones and tablets (versions 4.1 and later).
Note
If the extension is compatible with Samsung Internet for Android, it will work in Yandex.Browser without any additional configuration.
What types of filters are supported
Yandex.Browser supports filters in the Adblock Plus format. All parameters are supported, except the sitekey
parameter. Filters must be packed in a standard Android apk
package.
