Guide 2026-06-22 / 4 min FACEIT Extensions in Yandex Browser: Which Work & How to Install (2026)
Do FACEIT extensions work in Yandex Browser? Yes. Here is which ones work, how to install them from the Chrome Web Store and the Yandex add-ons catalog, and how to fix one that gets disabled.
Yandex Browser is built on Chromium — the same engine as Chrome — so the FACEIT extension layer works in it almost exactly like in Chrome. The only real differences are where you install from and a couple of quirks when Yandex disables an extension. Here is the whole picture.
Do FACEIT extensions work in Yandex Browser?
Yes. Because Yandex Browser shares Chromium with Chrome, almost any FACEIT or CS2 extension that supports Chrome runs in it — Repeek, Mappio, Faceit EGO, Forecast and GRIND all work. In practice compatibility is effectively 100%.
Where to install them from
Yandex Browser installs extensions from two catalogs, both checked for safety:
- Chrome Web Store — where most FACEIT extensions live. Open the store page and click "Add to Yandex Browser".
- Yandex add-ons catalog (Opera Add-ons) — Yandex Browser's native "Extensions catalog" link opens the Opera add-ons site; extensions there carry a "compatible with Yandex Browser" badge.
How to install a FACEIT extension in Yandex Browser
- Open the extension pageGo to the extension's Chrome Web Store page (or the Yandex add-ons catalog page).
- Click "Add to Yandex Browser"On the store page, click the add button. Yandex Browser shows the Chrome Web Store with a Yandex-branded button.
- Confirm the permissionsRead the permissions prompt and confirm. FACEIT UI extensions only need access to faceit.com pages.
- Pin it and open a match roomPin the extension from the puzzle icon, then open a FACEIT match room to see it work.
Which FACEIT extensions are worth installing
For most players, Repeek + GRIND complement each other perfectly — and both are free:
- Repeek — auto ready-up, ELO gain/loss, recent-match stats.
- GRIND — win probability by map after veto, a 0–100 smurf/booster score per opponent, and a face-to-face compare.
Repeek covers what just happened (activity and automation), GRIND covers the read ahead (win probability and suspicious accounts). They sit in different UI zones and run together without conflict.

Extension disabled or won't install?
Yandex Browser disables extensions from "unverified sources" and re-checks installed ones periodically. Install from the Chrome Web Store or the Yandex add-ons catalog rather than a loose .crx file, and if one gets switched off, re-enable it under Settings → Extensions. Extensions installed from official catalogs stay enabled.
FAQ
Do FACEIT extensions work in Yandex Browser?
Yes. Yandex Browser is Chromium-based, the same engine as Chrome, so FACEIT extensions like Repeek, Mappio and GRIND run in it — compatibility is effectively 100%.
How do I install a FACEIT extension in Yandex Browser?
Open the extension's Chrome Web Store page, click "Add to Yandex Browser", confirm the permissions, then open a FACEIT match room to use it.
Is it safe to install FACEIT extensions in Yandex Browser?
Yes, if you install from the Chrome Web Store or the Yandex add-ons catalog — both are checked. Good FACEIT extensions are UI enhancers that only read public FACEIT data and never touch the game client.
Why did Yandex Browser disable my extension?
Yandex Browser disables add-ons from unverified sources and re-verifies installed ones. Reinstall from the Chrome Web Store or Opera add-ons catalog and re-enable it under Settings → Extensions.
What is the difference between Yandex Browser and Opera for extensions?
Both are Chromium-based. Yandex Browser's native "Extensions catalog" actually opens the Opera add-ons site, but it also installs from the Chrome Web Store — so the same FACEIT extensions work in both.
