Maxthon Announces Expanded Partnership with Yandex, Russia’s Leading Search and Web Services Provider
Localized Yandex Services to be Pre-loaded onto Maxthon’s Seamless Cloud Browser
Mar 10, 2014
Maxthon, a global software company that develops state-of-the-art web browsers, today announced it is expanding its partnership with Yandex, Russia’s dominant search and web services provider. In a new agreement, Maxthon and Yandex will work together to offer Maxthon web browsers to Russian desktop and mobile users pre-loaded with several of Yandex’s top web services.
The collaboration builds on Maxthon’s already-strong growth in Russia in both mobile and desktop browser activations and is in line with Maxthon’s 'global/local’ strategy of offering high performance web browsers optimized with local services and content, all linked through Maxthon’s seamless 'Cloud Browser.’
"We’re excited to be offering these services to Maxthon customers in Russia," said Jeff Chen, CEO and founder of Maxthon. "Our original partnership with Yandex offered our customers Russia’s superior search experience. Adding Yandex services threaded through Maxthon’s multi-platform browsing doubles down on that already-strong value."
"Russia is a tremendously dynamic internet market that is a key part of our global growth strategy," said Karl Mattson, VP of Maxthon’s International Division. "In particular, there’s a split between urban and provincial internet penetration and internet activity. Adding Yandex services complements both."
