What version of the three VDH Premium (Firefox, Chrome, Edge) or to use with Yandex browser?

Your question

I am using Yandex browser (YaBrowser). In its library of extensions there is VDH which I installed. After three downloads It offered me to install the Premium version - but suggests "VDH for Firefox". Is this right version to buy? What version of VDH Premium should be bought for use with Yandex browser? (My concern is that Yandex and Chrome use BLINK engine, but Firefox uses Quantum engine, a further development of Gecko). (In the field below I am copying info from the Yandex VDH extension installed). Thank you!

Yandex browser is chromium based and the extension should be chrome. But the premium page to purchase says Firefox ?
It should be a chrome license to purchase, this should help chrome license page

You should be aware that the chrome extension does not permit Youtube downloading. If you want that, it only works for
Firefox and Edge.

You'd have to show a screen shot what you see, if you have any doubt just remove what you added from Yandex and install
it from the chrome store.

Indeed, screens needed. Attaching... Two images show what I see when click on the VDH icon and then on gear wheel. In Settings/More we see "Version: 9.1.1.0 (stable), target: google, locale en-US." The third image shows what I see in the list of Yandex Extensions. I followed your advice to "install it from Chrome Store", so deleted the VDH installed from Yandex Extensios, went to https://chromewebstore.google.com and was able to install it from there. And it works. In Settings it shows the same stuff. So indeed Yandex browser works with Chrome Extensions, and I suppose I need the Chrome version of the licence. Thank you for all these suggestions. Cheers.

My conclusions is this: 1) Yandex browser works with Chrome extension as well (at least for VDH); 2) when I exceed the freely allowed number of downloads, VDH Extension blocked downloads for (I think) 2 hours, and offered to buy the version VDH for Firefox - this is a bug I think, since the engines of FIrefox and Yandex/Chrome are different. Perhaps I am not explaining this accurately, so would be interesting to see comments of people from VDH. After that this topic can be closed.

That is just the site not knowing the browser is chromium. But if you use the link I posted it will provide the license for chrome.
Did you try that link ?

[DimaGHub]

(1) Link: yes, I will use this link (thank you) when decide that I need the licence, and this is because now I imstalled the VDH for Chrome into Yandex and there is a high chance that it will work. (2) Indeed, VDH does not correctly identify the Yandex browser to be Chromium (Blink)-based, and offers VDH for Firefox. I was actully about to buy this (wrong) licence. This is a bug, and hopefully people at VDH will want to pay attention. The market share of Yandex browser is less than 1% but still this is millions of people that may want to buy the licence, and it is just wrong to confuse them. Cheers.

The issue is solved by a trick, which worked for me. Thank you, participants of help. However a bigger issue remains. VDH does not correctly identify the Yandex browser to be Chromium (Blink)-based, and offers VDH for Firefox. So a user is offered to buy this (wrong) licence. This is a bug, and hopefully people at VDH will want to pay attention. It is just wrong to mislead millions of Yandex browser users. Cheers.
