For many people, working with the browser begins with the home page. Correct configuration will provide increased comfort and quick access to the necessary information. This article will talk about how to change the start page in Yandex Browser.
Since Yandex.Browser is based on the Chromium engine, its interface is as similar as possible to Google Chrome. And despite some changes made by Yandex developers, browser management is identical.
To change your browser's home page, open the menu Settings. To do this, click on the button with three horizontal stripes, which is located at the top right, and select the menu item Settings.
In the menu that opens you need to find the section Where to start?
The browser offers, let's say, 2.5 settings to choose from. First option - Open quick access page. By choosing this method, this window will appear when you launch the browser:
These are the default windows; as you continue to use the browser, they will change depending on the user's preferences. Unnecessary windows will be removed, and they will be replaced by tabs with frequently used sites. They can also be controlled by the user himself: move them in all directions, remove unnecessary windows, add and pin interesting pages.
Second option - Restore tabs opened last time. That is, restoring the last session. Convenient for users who constantly keep the same sites open (for example, news or social networks).
And in addition to this point there is a setting - Open www.yandex.ru if there are no tabs. That is, if all tabs were closed before shutting down the browser, then the next time you start the program, the start page will be the Yandex search service.
Unfortunately, the browser does not implement the ability to set the desired site as the starting site. This was probably done to ensure that people used exclusively Yandex services. However, the “Tableboard” function provides greater opportunities, with the help of which you can get to your favorite site with one click.
I am always surprised how we, working every day with the same programs and services, sometimes do not notice the basic opportunities provided to us by developers. Just one button or link that we don’t pay attention to for a long time can provide a lot of useful tools.
Today’s article will talk about the wonderful and useful “Personal Settings” feature, which allows the average user to customize and personalize their home page with Yandex search.
For a long time, Google served as my main service for searching information on the Internet, and I always set its search page as my home page in all browsers. But in recent years, Yandex has been adding a ton of different useful tools to its arsenal, and a huge number of users are setting its search page as their home page.
I decided to join this search service from the moment I launched my blog, when I installed the useful Yandex.Metrica counter and started using tools for webmasters. Now I constantly use the customized home page with its search.
Let's start setting up and the first thing we will do is set the search page as the start page, for which in the address bar of the Internet browser we will go to www.yandex.ru and in the Firefox browser menu we will go to “Settings” - “Basic”, click on the buttons one by one : “Use current page” and “OK”.
