        @joestalin It doesn't prove that Opera is blocking Yandex, but it may prove that Yandex is blocking Opera's IP address or even your IP address.

          @leocg You're wrong. Yandex does not block my IP because I am located in Russia and Yandex cannot block opera requests because Yandex is not a browser, but just a search engine. Yes, Yandex blocks some Ukrainian websites, but never blocks Opera. App Opera mini blocks absolutely all requests invoked through Yandex.ru If you make a search query from the app Opera mini using Google as a search engine, it passes OK, but if you do the same search query from the app Opera mini (not related to the special Russian operation, but on any neutra subject), pointing Yandex as a search engine, it does not pass - this proves that the opera mini app politicized and does not pass requests through the Russian search engine. My opinion is that apps downloaded from the Google market should not participate in politics. According to your state Yandex ha should block any requests from any Western apps - but it does not do that. BTW if to make a request via desktop version of Opera through Yandex - it passes OK. It proves that Yandex does not hate Norvegian Opera.

            @joestalin Sites can block IP addresses and they can also block browsers.
