As a rule, this setup is quite easy to do, but as practice shows, many users do not know where to register the address and how to do it correctly. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss in detail how to configure home page in browsers: , Opera, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that setting up the home page in your browser can only be prevented by the presence of malicious software. software. This happens in cases where you seem to have set the start page, and the Webalta or Pirrit Suggestor search is loaded into the location you need. We will consider a way out of this situation at the end of the article.
We configure Yandex as the home page manually.
It is possible to make Yandex the start page either manually, by changing browser settings, or in automatic mode, with help special programs. First, we will look at how to make the settings manually, this method the good thing is that you and I don’t have to install additional programs, and at the end of the article we will consider a method for the lazy.
Make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer
I suggest that the first thing on the list to consider is setting Internet browser Explorer. Since, firstly, it is on all computers with operating system Windows, and secondly, setting up the home page is done the same in all versions of IExplorer.
to install home page Yandex search engine, we take the following steps:
That's it, the stage of setting up the home page for Internet Explorer is complete. Now, as soon as you launch the browser, the search engine will open.
Setting up the home page in the Opera browser.
In , making Yandex the start page is also not difficult. To do this we do the following:
- We go to the menu by clicking on the corresponding button in the upper left corner;
- In the list that appears, select “Settings”;
- The settings window will open, we are interested in the “Basic” tab;
- In the very first item “Specify what the browser should do at startup” in the “At startup” field, select “Open a specific page or several pages”;
- Click the “Set pages and register” “Yandex.ru” button;
- To save the settings, click the “Ok” button.
Now you can restart the browser and see which page loads at startup.
In Google Chrome we set the Yandex start page.
If you are a fan Google browser Chrome, but at the same time you remain a patriot and use the Yandex search engine, then to set up the home page we do the following:
Now when working in Chrome browser, if you quickly want to go to the search engine, just click on the icon in the form of a house.
Note! At this method settings, Yandex will not open as the start page.
If you want exactly the start page, then we do it a little differently:
Now when you launch the browser, you can immediately type search query in Yandex.
Make Yandex the start page in Mozilla Firefox.
In the Mazil browser, everything is done in a similar way. Follow these steps to set up your home page:
Now Firefox browser will load the Yandex start page. As you can see, all the settings are simple, but users are often afraid or don’t know what to do.
How to make Yandex the start page automatically.
If for some reason you cannot manually set the Yandex home page, then you can do this automatically. Fortunately, the tool is provided by the search engine itself.
In the first case, you need to go to the address: home.yandex.ru and click on the “Download” button, and then follow the simple instructions that will be displayed on the monitor screen. 
The second option is to install a utility called “Browser Manager”, also an invention of the Russian search giant. You can download it from the link: yandex.ru/soft/bm 
This manager is good because it automatically controls the change of the home page and warns the user about changes. This will help you protect your computer from search engines like Webalta and similar ones.
If instead of Yandex, Webalta, Pirrit Suggestor and others open everywhere.
Very often, the user encounters a problem when, after installing the desired initial page, something completely different from what he would like opens, for example, the Webalta search engine. This happens when your computer starts up malicious code and writes its settings to browsers. As a rule, getting rid of this problem is not always easy.
The first thing you need to check is to open the desktop shortcut property. To do this, right-click on the browser shortcut and look at the “Object” field in the window that opens.
We are already very accustomed to the flexibility of modern web browsers; they allow themselves to be customized to suit any needs and do so successfully. One of the desired settings is the home page in the Yandex browser, which allows you to make one of the websites the main one, displayed instead of a blank page. Today we will look in detail at everything about this setting and its realities, in the beloved web browser from Yandex, which is known for its flexibility.
The home or start page in a web browser is any website that launches when you open the browser and close all tabs. This function is available almost everywhere, so it does not need a detailed description. Despite the popularity of the function, it is not possible to set your own start page in the Yandex browser.
The web browser does not support setting any sites as your home page. This role is played by the scoreboard. The scoreboard contains a number of useful widgets:
- Web resource panel for quick access;
- Weather in the region;
- Data from the Yandex.Traffic service;
- Programs that are interesting to the user;
- Various notifications about sensational events in the city or country;
- Promotion of films and other events;
- News feed.
The developers of Yandex Browser took upon themselves the responsibility to create a universal start page that would be useful to everyone. Overall, it worked out, the scoreboard really does its job and shows all the necessary information. However, there are exceptions when the user needs a different home page. For example, the site owner, active forum member, developer, project manager, etc.
And yet such a function is not provided. Does this mean that there is no way to change home page in a Yandex web browser and will you have to use the scoreboard all the time? Not really. It is possible to find a way out of the situation, but it will not be quite a starting page, in the usual sense of this phrase. Everything that an ordinary user can do today is described in the next chapter.
How to make an analogue of the home page in Yandex Browser
The main role of the browser's home page is quick access to the necessary functionality of sites. Despite the lack of the desired function, we can still speed up access to some material. The following methods will help us with this.
Method 1: Fixing a tab
This is perhaps the best method to change the start page Yandex browser. We can pin absolutely any tab in a web browser in a couple of clicks. What does this give us? Pinned tab won't close using standard methods, until it is detached. We can safely use the “Close other tabs” tool, and our pinned page will remain. It is always in the extreme left position compared to other tabs, but at the same time it does not interfere with their use, because it is smaller in size and does not move.
Thus, changing the start page in the Yandex browser is not too difficult:
For example, we can make Google the start page in the Yandex browser. This method helps you use Google quite comfortably both after the first launch of the browser and during its long-term use.
Now this tab will always be available in just one click, and it will not disappear even in the event of an emergency closing of the browser. If this tab ever becomes irrelevant, right-click on it and select “Unpin tab”. After this action, we can close it in any convenient way.
Method 2: Install autorun for any site
Another alternative helps launch the desired website together with the browser. Standard settings imply launching the yandex.ru page, provided that there are no other tabs. If you change the start page in the Yandex web browser using this method, every time you start the browser from the shortcut, any site installed by us will open. The launch of our website does not depend on the number of other pages. Moreover, in the same way we can configure the autorun of several start pages in the Yandex browser.
All we need for this is to set the correct keys to the shortcut:
If you want to open 2 or more sites at once, insert links to them separated by a space. Now the specified sites will begin to open every time you start the browser. To change the home page in the Yandex web browser, you will also have to go to the properties of the browser shortcut and edit the “Object” line.
Method 3: Using an extension
Unfortunately, there is no add-on in Google Extensions that would allow you to install any site on the first page after opening the browser. But there is an extension that can replace the scoreboard. After clicking on it, the add-ons tab opens with a lot of useful widgets, we can customize them at our own discretion.
The most useful widgets:
Due to all this, the extension can become a worthy alternative to the scoreboard. Although this method does not allow you to completely replace the start page in Yandex Browser, it provides a lot of useful features.
What do we have to do:
Otherwise, this is a convenient organizer for quick access to sites and other basic information. It may well become a replacement for the traditional home page.
How to set up a home page in Yandex browser
The standard home page in the Yandex browser can be customized. Although we can only edit a few settings (background, quick access sites), they are sufficient for most tasks.
Setting up the Yandex home page of a web browser first of all involves creating and arranging sites to which we can quickly go directly from the scoreboard.
How to register a site:
You can also always configure the location of sites on the start page of the Yandex browser. You just need to press and hold the left mouse button on the site name, and then release the icon in a suitable place.
The next option to change the start page in the Yandex web browser involves only visual changes. We can install one background from the store, set the backgrounds to change automatically daily, or even upload our own photo from the computer. All required parameters are located on the “Customize Screen” tab. Here we can click on “Background Gallery” and select a theme from the store or click on the vertical ellipsis to the right of the previous button and click on “Upload from computer”. 
How to turn off the display of the original page
In the default settings, the start page is Yandex; it launches along with the browser if there are no open tabs left from the last session. Is this behavior of the program annoying? We can remove the start page in the Yandex browser.
How to disable Yandex from launching along with the web browser:
If you personalize the browser in this way, instead of the Yandex page, a scoreboard or tabs opened during the last session will always be displayed.
Although it is impossible to change the home page of the Yandex browser using official means, we have offered 3 good alternatives. Using the methods described above, we can completely compensate for the lack of this function. We only need a few extra movements, which do not cause any particular difficulties even for a novice user. If nothing suits the tasks at hand, there is only one way out - to put up with the scoreboard, customizing it for yourself.
When the user double-clicks a program shortcut, the browser loads. The first thing we see on the screen is the initial panel, which displays the sites most frequently visited by the user. There may also be links to pages that were added manually and are not loaded often enough. A person working at this computer can either delete, change or install any page on the panel, while setting up the program in the most optimal way.
The second option for the navigator program is to open pages visited the last time it was loaded. This is not always convenient, especially in cases where a person forgot to remove confidential information.
In this case, to go to the panel described above, you will need additional creation new tab. In order to install it, in the Yandex browser there is a button with the “+” icon located at the top of the screen.
Most browsers provide the user with the ability to get started by loading a home page, which can be set or modified manually to customize the program to suit their needs. In the Yandex browser in question, this will require some effort, bypassing the standard options, which cannot be removed.
Changing the operating modes of the Internet browser
Adding a new download method yourself
To do this, you must first clarify in which folder on the computer it is located. Yandex installed browser. This is usually the folder on system disk, whose name is the same as the program name. You can clarify its location by selecting the “Properties” item that opens when outputting context menu shortcut (right-click on it).
Open the file called browser.bat for editing. Usually it is located in the Application subfolder of the YandexBrowser folder. The most convenient way to do this is with file manager Total Commander, which has hotkey, which helps to remove unnecessary parts of the contents of any file.
The last line, which looks like this: “c:\users\B91B~1\appdata\local\yandex\YANDEX~1\APPLIC~1\browser.exe” must be changed to the following: “c:\users\B91B~1\appdata \local\yandex\YANDEX~1\APPLIC~1\browser.exe" - http://my.com/.
The home page of the Yandex browser is designated in the example as the site my.com. This name must be removed, replacing it with the one that appears in the address bar when loading the site, which will be used as the start page for subsequent work with the browser.
Most browsers have a start page. Users choose in this capacity the most familiar and convenient search engine. Yandex is popular in Russia. That's why users make it their start page. The main thing is to set up your computer correctly.
Sometimes the user does not like the default start page set in the browser. Therefore we have to change it. One option is to make Yandex the start page. Then it will be much more convenient to search necessary information.
The start page is the site that loads every time you launch your default browser. It also opens when the user presses the Home button or the Alt+Home or Ctrl+Space key combination. In this capacity, users usually use:
- frequently viewed sites;
- email;
- lists of resources;
- news feeds;
- search engines;
- antivirus resources;
- online translators;
- SMS sending services.
Thanks to such pages, it is easier for the average person to use the Internet. There are also special pages containing links to popular resources. They are built into bootloaders, for example, Chrome or Opera.
However, the home page is an excellent target for viruses that introduce advertising or pornography instead. Therefore, competent users install antiviruses. Then a virtual reality will be comfortable and relatively safe.
Automatic setting method
If the user does not want to use Google, it is better to replace the start page with Yandex. Automatic replacement is carried out in three stages. They are simple:
- the computer owner follows the link home.yandex.ru;
- now you need to find and download an application that will automatically configure the search engine;
- the user launches the downloaded application.
