Jumping to Yandex is like going from the frying pan into the fire

My post on Adblock Plus, got me wondering about Yandex, the most popular search engine in the Russian Federation, and one of the online services reported to be paying Adblock's developers Eyeo to be on the program's "whitelist" allowing Yadex's ads to get through the popular ad blocker.

Yandex has a 60% market share in the Russian Federation, but they're far from being just a big fish in a small Russian pond; they're a pretty big deal, period. They are the fourth largest search engine worldwide, with more than 150 million searches per day as of April 2012, and more than 50.5 million visitors (all company's services) daily as of February 2013, all according to the Wikipedia entry.
