How to install the main page in the Yandex browser. Set Yandex as the start page

Most browsers have a start page. Users choose the most familiar and convenient search engine for this purpose. 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 home page. Then it will be much more convenient to search for the information you need.

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 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.

How to make Yandex the start page in different browsers?

Many computer owners install several browsers on their favorite laptops or desktop PCs. Therefore, the owner often prefers that each bootloader on his device produces different start pages. This problem is solved by manual configuration, which is performed differently for different browsers.

The newest (tenth and eleventh) versions of Internet Explorer are configured in the same way as those known from Windows 98. However, they are compatible only with new versions of Windows - 7, 8, 8.1, 10. To make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer, you need to follow four simple steps.

  1. Click the “Settings” button in the upper right corner and select the “Internet Options” menu.
  2. Enter the desired home page address. Sometimes there are several of them, for example, Yandex and Google.
  3. In the "Startup" menu, check the "Start from Home Page" option.
  4. Now you can click OK!

Microsoft Edge

In the Edge loader for the latest Windows versions Microsoft's MSN search engine is used. However, it is rarely used in the Russian Federation, unlike Google, Yandex or Mail.ru. They are more comfortable for Internet surfing. Here's how to make Yandex the start page in this downloader.

  1. Go to the bootloader settings by clicking on the three dots at the top right.
  2. Select the "Options" menu.
  3. Open the “Show in new window” item Microsoft Edge” and check “Specific page or pages.”
  4. Delete msn.com with a cross.
  5. Enter the Yandex URL.

In Chrome, setting up Yandex is even easier. The whole process consists of three steps. Let's list them.

  1. Open the bootloader menu and select the item called “Settings”.
  2. In the browser settings, find the “Appearance” section and check the “Show Home page button” option.
  3. Now look at the address of your existing home site and select “Change” by entering the address www.yandex.ru.

After this, Yandex turns into a home site. But to open it you have to press a button in the shape of a house. And to start automatically you need to do the following.

  1. In the upper right menu of the bootloader, select “Settings”.
  2. In the “Start group”, check the “Next pages” item.
  3. Select the “Add” link and enter the Yandex address in the appropriate line.
  4. Set Yandex as the main (default) search engine using the “Search” section.
  5. Close the settings page.

The reconfiguration is now complete. It is important to remember that in this search engine the home page is opened by pressing the Alt + Home button combination. This also makes the user's life easier.

Mozilla Firefox

It is not difficult to make Yandex the starting site in Mozilla. The main thing is the user's attentiveness. The default page changes as follows.

  1. The user searches for “Settings” in the bootloader menu and opens the “Basic” tab.
  2. The owner of the computer opens the item “When Firefox starts” and “Show home page”.
  3. In the field called “Home Page” enter www.yandex.ru.
  4. The owner of the gadget clicks OK.

The home page in MoZilla Firefox is now configured. If the laptop is cleaned of viruses, everything will start functioning. To go to the start page, press Alt + Home.

Opera

In Opera, setting up a home site is easy. There is a standard algorithm. Let's bring him.

  1. Open the Opera bootloader menu.
  2. Find "Tools" and select "General Settings".
  3. Select the "Basic" tab, find the field called "At startup" and "Start from home page".
  4. Select the “Home” option and write the address http://www.yandex.ru.
  5. You can click OK.

Now Yandex is the start page in your opera! This search engine will automatically launch when the user opens the browser. All is ready!

At this point, all the steps necessary to make Yandex the start page in Opera have been completed - now the Yandex website will open automatically every time you start the browser.

Safari

In this browser, you also start changing the main site from “Settings” and the “Basic” tab. Now you need to find New windows open with and select Home page. In the address field you should write http://www.yandex.ru/

Sometimes you can't change your home page. One of the reasons for the trouble is computer viruses. Usually, in this case, Webalta becomes the main site in each browser. To fix the problem, you need to check the shortcuts. This is done as follows.

  1. The owner of the laptop clicks with the mouse (right key) on the shortcut and looks at “Properties”.
  2. Now you need to pay attention to the “Object” field - there may be an indication of Webalt. You just need to delete it and click OK.

In most cases, such an algorithm eliminates the problem. However, sometimes you have to turn to professional programmers. They will carefully check the gadget for viruses and make the necessary settings for Google, Opera or Mozilla.

Conclusion

Setting up Yandex as a starting site is easy in any modern browser. The main condition is to carefully read the instructions on the Internet and make sure there are no viruses on your computer. The schemes are similar for different loaders, so even a novice user can cope with this task.

Almost all Internet browsers have the ability to make your favorite site the start page, except...except for the Yandex browser.

Yes, indeed, in the modern browser from the Yandex search engine there is no function for setting up the start or home page. However, as always, I tried to deal with this problem and found a way out of the situation.

And I found it. The fact is that on each new tab it displays a display of visual bookmarks, which consist of frequently visited sites. All we have to do is configure the browser in such a way that at startup this board will launch, on which only one or several favorite sites will be displayed.

And so, let's go...

Open a new tab and delete all unnecessary bookmarks (visual ones, I mean). In order to delete a bookmark, simply hover over it with the mouse and click on the cross:

We leave only a few favorite sites or one. If the site you want to see is not on the start page, you can add it there. To do this, simply click on the “Add” button of the same name. Let's look at the screenshot:

We enter the site address, I enter the Google search engine, and click on the “Finish” button:

This is what I got now:

Now we just have to make sure that this page starts at the start.

Click on the menu button in the upper right corner and select “Settings” from the drop-down list:

We open the settings in a separate tab. At the very beginning of this page we find the phrase “Open at startup” and set the switch to the “New tab” position.

The start site is the one that opens first by default when the search engine starts, or when you press “Home” or a certain key combination. This function is needed for ease of use and quick start in the browser. As a rule, the start page is set by the program manufacturer - this is a common search or messaging system, the manufacturer's website, or a panel that gives quick access to several resources.

We will tell you how to install, change or delete the home page in different browsers

In almost all browsers you can edit the start bar or page. The user does this for himself to make it more convenient to work. For example, he can set another search engine, email service, news or weather site, etc. to launch by default. In this case, the procedure for changing the starting resource depends on the specific program.

In addition, when downloading files, the user often forgets to uncheck the boxes in which the program offers to set its resource as default. Often these services have poor functionality or even harm the computer, and it is impossible to get rid of them in the usual way. There is a universal way to remove an intrusive start tab.

Google Chrome is the most popular search engine in most countries of the world, however, not all users know how to change its initial resource. This is done through the browser settings - you can change the settings so that Google launches a specific tab (possibly several) when you start working.

Settings home resource via search engine:

  1. Click on the Chrome menu, go to “Settings” - a new tab will open in the browser.
  2. Select the Show Home Button option found in the Appearance menu.
  3. On the left side relative to the search bar there will now be a button with a house symbol, which is needed to quickly return to the “Home Page”.
  4. Click “Change”, set the start page with which it is convenient for you to start working in the browser.
  5. A window will open where the current page is entered, which is launched by default, and you need to indicate the desired site in the field.
  6. Insert the website address into the box so that it is counted as the starting website.
  7. You can also click on the “Page” option quick access", which is needed to use Google search and access several selected sites.
  8. Save your progress, then check the functionality - the resource specified earlier should start.

Setting up is very easy

Configuration via startup actions. Unlike the previous method, this one will help you open not only the default resource when you launch Google Chrome, but also one or more specially designated ones. Setting algorithm:

  1. Click "Menu" in Chrome, go to "Settings".
  2. In the “Open at startup” item, activate one of the options: “Open a new tab” (search bar and bookmarks), “Open previously opened tabs” (closed when the last work session ended, including accidentally) or “Open given pages"(you can specify one or more).
  3. When selecting the latter, click “Add”, then enter or copy links to resources in the window (it is not recommended to add a lot if you are using a weak computer, and also to use the function for someone else - this will violate confidentiality).
  4. It is possible to open current tabs at startup - this way you won’t have to copy links to resources.
  5. Save the changes by clicking “OK” and check if everything works.

You can choose which pages the browser will load on startup

Unlike other browsers, in the version of Google Chrome for mobile devices you cannot set a default resource or assign tabs that will open at startup. However, if you do not close certain sites, they will appear the next time you use the search engine. In addition, if you close all tabs before turning off the program, then when you start it again, the main window will open with search bar and a panel of frequently used resources.

Opera

The process of setting up a home page in Opera is almost no different from Google:

  1. Click “Menu”, then select “Settings”, then “General settings”.
  2. Click on the “Basic” tab.
  3. In the On Startup option, click Start from Home Page.
  4. In order to install the starting resource itself, enter the site address or click “Current page” if the desired one is already open.
  5. Save your settings.

When you launch Opera Mini, a panel appears by default, displaying bookmarks that are popular with the user.

The procedure is similar to the previous viewer

Yandex

The Yandex browser is made on the same engine as Google Chrome, so they are similar in many ways. The same goes for the controls - the developers have made some differences, but it is still similar.

In Yandex, it is not possible to set an arbitrary site as your home site. Perhaps this was done to ensure that users used only services from this developer, and did not set other search engines and resources as their start page. However, Yandex offers 3 convenient options:

  • “Open quick access page” - when you start the browser, a tab will appear with a search bar and a resource panel, the location of which depends on how often the user opens them. You can remove unnecessary ones and add desired ones, as well as move cells.
  • "Restore tabs opened last time" - this will restore the last working session. Convenient for those who always leave the same resources open, for example, mail, weather forecast or news.
  • “Open Yandex if there are no tabs” - an option that will send the user to the main resource of the search engine if all resources were closed before turning it off. In this case, Yandex itself will act as home.

In this case there is less variability

Safari

Changing the start page in this browser is no more difficult than in others:

  1. Open the site you want to see as your default on startup.
  2. Click on Safari Menu.
  3. In the drop-down menu, click “Settings”, then “General”.
  4. To set an open resource as the starting resource, click “Set current page”.
  5. If you want to make another resource home, then enter or copy its address in the box.
  6. Save the settings and check if they work.

The Apple browser has similar functionality

Mozilla Firefox

The procedure for installing the start page through a browser on a computer:

  1. Open the site that should become the starting site.
  2. Click “Menu” - “Settings”.
  3. In the “General” section, find the item “When Firefox starts” - “Show home page”.
  4. Click “Use current page” or paste the link to the desired site into the special field if you have not opened the resource.
  5. You can also click on “Use bookmark” - a window will appear in which you can specify one of the desired resources.

The configuration will not cause any difficulties for the user

Installation on phone:

  1. Default to mobile devices The starting tab is a tab with a panel of the most popular resources. To open the start page, click “Menu”, then “Bookmarks” - “Home Page”.
  2. Pin your site to it. To do this, you need to press and hold it. In the menu that opens, select “Pin site” - now it will always be displayed on the main page.
  3. To add a new bookmark to the panel, click and hold one of the unnecessary ones - a menu will appear in which you can select “Edit”, then set a new address (enter it or select from bookmarks).
  4. Close your browser. Now if you switch to another program, it will be active in the background. To see the panel docked the next time you start, click “Menu” - “Exit”.

Internet Explorer

How to install the start page:

  1. Launch the resource that should be the starting resource or paste its address into the search bar.
  2. Click “Tools” - “Internet Options” (gear icon in the upper right corner).
  3. Click "Current" to make the currently running tab the starting tab.
  4. To make Explorer open several sites when starting, enter links to them in the appropriate box (you need to make sure that each is written on a separate line).
  5. To open a simple Explorer tab on startup, select Blank.

On mobile devices there is a bookmarks bar where you can add the sites you want.

What to do if you can’t install the start page

Some users have a question about how to change the start page in Google Chrome or another browser, if the usual setting does not help, nothing happens or the intrusive tab returns to its place (after restarting the browser or computer).

Most often, the cause is services like Webalta or Amigo, which end up on the computer as a virus. The PC may also be infected with malicious code, or a program may have been installed on it that forcibly changes the home page.

First of all, you can reset your browser version or settings. This will save all passwords and bookmarks, but apps and extensions will be removed.

You can also selectively remove add-ons that may be viral. These include Babylon - a translation program that changes the resource that opens by default, as well as some other settings, and then does not allow them to be edited. To uninstall Babylon in Windows, click “Control Panel” - “Uninstall a Program”. Find this application and click "Uninstall". Do the same with Babylon add-ons, such as Toolbar, Browser Protection and others. To uninstall an application on Mac OS, find it in Applications. Place it in the “Trash” and then empty the latter.

If this does not help, then download a virus removal program, for example, AdwCleaner and activate it. In some cases, the reason why a tab doesn't change is deep in the system.

Sometimes they can only help special utilities for the cleaning

Methods that only work on Windows with any browser

Editing properties:

  1. Right-click on the search engine shortcut and select “Properties”.
  2. In the “Shortcut” tab, find “Object”.
  3. Remove the quotes and website address if there are any, and leave the rest.
  4. Do this for all browser shortcuts on the system.
  5. When you continue to use the browser, respond more carefully to notifications during installation and do not skip the points where they suggest installing a search engine or start page - click “No”.

Editing hosts

  1. Find the file C: - Windows - System32 - drivers - ets - hosts.
  2. Open it as text document, click “edit” and delete the entire contents of the file.
  3. Remove all old browser shortcuts and install new ones.

The specified file should be opened in text editor for change

Bottom line

The starting resource is needed to make it more convenient to start working with the browser. Different search engines offer different solutions for this.

Note. If you are using someone else's account, most likely, you will not be able to get rid of the intrusive tab. This procedure requires full rights to use the computer, which students or company employees usually do not have.

Two main competitors - Yandex and Google

Now we can distinguish 2 main search services - Yandex and Google . Among the Russian-speaking population, naturally, it's the one who's in the lead search system Yandex and there are many reasons for this leadership. Yandex differs from its competitor in a number of advantages:

  1. High information content. From the start page you can immediately access all search engine services: news, posters, weather, mail, etc. You can even customize it as you wish thanks to additional widgets and modules.
  2. High quality of information output.
  3. Nice appearance, which can also be customized to your preferences thanks to Yandex themes that are constantly updated.

Thanks to this application, Yandex will automatically be installed as the home page in all browsers. No additional manual settings in this case it will not be necessary. If this application didn't work or you just don't want to download additional program, then you can make settings manually in each browser.

Manual Yandex settings in various browsers

The steps for installing the home page are almost identical for all browsers, but, nevertheless, each browser has small features of securing the start page. We will look in detail at how to make Yandex the home page for key browsers:

  1. Mozilla Firefox;
  2. Opera;
  3. Google Chrome;
  4. Internet Explorer;
  5. Yandex Browser;

In this section, in the “Home Page” or “Home Page” line, indicate the address of the start page, namely http://www.yandex.ru/, and click the “Ok” button.

A nice feature of modern browsers is the lack of case sensitivity, that is, the browser will not care whether you write the site address in capital or small letters.

Yandex start page in Opera

As mentioned earlier, the settings in all browsers are very similar, so setting up the home page in Opera will be almost the same as in Mozilla.

To do this, open the menu in the browser and select the “Settings” section.

The latest versions of browsers are very similar, and accordingly, the settings of many parameters are also the same, including the home page settings

Then click the “Set pages” button and in the window that appears, in the “Add” line new page» indicate the address http://www.yandex.ru/.

You can add several pages to the list at once, so that when you start the browser, several tabs will open.

If at the time of installing the start page you have a Yandex page open in your browser, then you don’t have to enter the address manually, but just click the “Use current pages” button and the Yandex address will be displayed automatically.

After all the steps, click the “Ok” button.

Home page in Google Chrome

Setting up a quick access page in Google Chrome is as easy as in the previous options.

To do this, in the browser “Menu” (the button in the form of 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner), select “Settings”.

In older versions of Google Chrome, the “Menu” section may be located in the right corner of the browser.

The Settings section of Google Chrome is very similar to the same section in Opera browser. Is not it?)

A tab has opened where you need to enter the home page address, in our case this is the Yandex address. We agree with our changes and click “Ok”.

As in previous browsers, you can simplify the task and click the “Use current pages” button if the search engine page is already open in the browser.

Yandex home page in Internet Explorer

There are a lot of versions now of this browser that are installed on computers or laptops, so let’s consider installing the Yandex home page on latest versions Internet Explorer – 10 and 11.

The Settings section is represented by a gear icon at the top of the page

  • In the context menu, select the “Settings” tab.

This browser does not have the ability to pin the start page. Perhaps this was done with the goal that all users of this program use exclusively the Yandex search service.

This item says that when you reopen the browser, tabs restored from the last session will open, but it is suggested to check the sub-item “ Open www.yandex.ru if there are no tabs" That is, if you closed all tabs before closing the program, then the next time you start the browser, the Yandex page will open.
