I always wonder how we, working daily with the same programs and services, sometimes do not notice the elementary opportunities provided to us by developers. Just one button or link to which we for a long time we do not pay attention, can provide a lot of useful tools.
Today's article will focus on the wonderful and useful function “Personal settings”, which provides an opportunity for an ordinary user to customize and personalize their home page with search from Yandex.
For a long time, Google served as the main service for searching information on the Internet for me, and I always set its search page as the home page in all browsers. But, in last years, Yandex adds a lot of different useful tools to its arsenal and a huge number of users set its search page as their home page.
I decided to join this search service from the moment I launched my blog, when I installed a useful Yandex.Metrica counter and started using webmaster tools. Now I constantly use a customized home page with its search.
Let's start setting up and the first thing we will do is install search page start, for which in the address bar of the Internet browser we will go to www.yandex.ru and in the menu Firefox browser go to "Settings" - "General", press alternately on the buttons: "Use the current page" and "OK".
YANDEX SETUP
We enter our mailbox, which we registered in advance.
We delete all the widgets we do not need using the cross in the upper right corner of each of them (you can always return everything back if you made a mistake with the “Return” or “Reset settings” button), after which we click on the “Save” button.
Go to the menu item "Add Widget".
It is added to the page, after which we press the “Leave” button (most contain their own individual settings).
Move it to the desired location and click the “Save” button.
Go to the menu item "".
Choose any one you like and click on "Save Theme".
Hello friends. Today I will show you how to make the Yandex website the home page of your browser. Despite the fact that it is not difficult to implement this feature, many novice Internet users do not know where and with what help this is done.
Most people who speak Russian use Yandex as their search engine. This search engine has many advantages - this is good quality search results, and a nice appearance, and a large set of related services, and a convenient home page.
In general, the Yandex start page compares favorably with its main competitor Google in terms of information content. From the page it is easy to get to all search engine services, it is complemented by various widgets and modules that provide quick background information. In addition, these blocks can also be customized according to your desires and preferences.
For example, I also use Yandex as the start page of my browsers. One of the widgets I added to myself is a random aphorism, sometimes it's interesting to read something unusual. I also installed a module from Yandex.webmaster, checking fines and others.
I will show how to add these blocks at the end of the article, but now let's move on to .
Application for installing Yandex.ru on the start page
The easiest way to make Yandex your home page is to use an application developed by Yandex itself. The app can be downloaded from this website - http://home.yandex.ru/
It automatically replaces the home page of all your browsers with Yandex. No hemorrhoids and manual settings not required.
If for some reason the application did not work or you do not want to use it, then we can make the necessary settings manually in each browser separately. I'll show you how to do it.
Customizing the start page in Mozilla Firefox
I'll start with this browser, as I use it most often. The whole setup procedure for it will take 20 seconds. To do this, you need to open the browser itself. Further, in the upper right corner we find the “open menu” icon (in the current version it looks like three horizontal stripes). Click on this button and in the drop-down menu we are looking for an icon in the form of a gear - these are the settings.
There are many sections in the settings menu, the very first of them is “Basic” (looks like a light switch). This section contains what we need. In the line "When Firefox starts" select "Show home page". In line " Homepage» it is necessary to enter the address of the site that we want to make the starting one (in our case, http://yandex.ru). Press the "OK" button and that's it - the operation is completed.
Installing Yandex as a start page in Google Chrome
Setting up the home page in Google Chrome made just as easy. We open the browser, in the same upper right corner we look for a button in the form of three horizontal lines titled "Customize and Manage Google Chrome". In the drop-down menu that appears on the screen when you press the button, we find the "Settings" item and go to the appropriate section.
On this page, we are looking for the "Appearance" section, put a tick in front of the item - Show the "Home Page" button. In order to set or change the address of the main page on Yandex, you need to click on the "Change" link and, in the window that opens, specify the address you need.
How to put a start page in Internet Explorer
As in all previous cases, setting up the main page in the Internet Explorer browser is very simple. We open the program, in the upper right corner we find the icon in the form of a gear and select "Internet Options" in the drop-down list.
In the browser properties, the “General” tab will open, and at the very top of this tab there is a field for start pages. In the box, enter the address - http://yandex.ru, put a dot in front of "Start from the home page" and click the "Apply" button. If you need to set a different start page, then repeat the procedure, specifying a different address in the box.
How to make Yandex the start page in Opera
Let's move on to one of the most popular browsers. Opera has a lot of fans and it doesn't hurt for them to know about the settings of their favorite web browser. To configure, run the program, enter the browser menu (the button with the inscription Opera and the big red letter O in the upper left corner) and select "Settings" in this menu. You can make the transition to the settings a little faster using the Alt + P hotkeys.
The second item in the settings menu is "At startup". At this point, we need to select the next option - "Open a specific page or multiple pages." In order to specify a specific address to open, click on the "Set Pages" link. In the window that appears, specify the address of the site that should open when the browser starts.
Start page in Yandex browser - change with cunning
Frankly, I don’t use this browser, since my experiment showed that it works much slower than its competitors (I wrote about this), but appearance Yandex browser is no different from Google Chrome. But for this article, I installed it and am doing a review along with other popular programs for the Internet.
Despite the fact that Yandex browser is based on the Chrome engine, it does not allow you to make a start page in standard ways. It allows you to either show the start page with bookmarks, or open the tabs left from the last time and, only if they are not there, automatically loads search engine Yandex (without the ability to choose another).
There is a way to customize the start site by manually changing the browser files, but I would not advise unprepared people to go there.
We will go the other way - apply a little trick, which will allow you to make the home page of any site.
For it to work, we need to do the following:
1. Set up the display of the quick access page when opening
Open the program, in the upper right corner we find the button "Settings Yandex browser» (three horizontal bars). Select "Settings" from the drop-down menu.
The first thing that is written in this paragraph “Where to start?”, We need to put an end to the paragraph about opening the quick access page. Here everything is saved automatically, you do not need to press any buttons.
2. Set up the Yandex browser start page
We open the site that we want to make the home page (yandex.ru). Right-click on the tab of this site in the top bar of the Yandex browser. In the drop-down menu, click "pin tab".
That's all. Now, every time you open the browser, the tab that you pinned will open.
If you want to remove the home page, you can also right-click and select "unpin tab". To install a new page - repeat the entire procedure described in this section.
Yandex page customization
Not everyone knows that you can customize the main page of this search engine for yourself. Now you will know it, and hopefully use it.
This setup is done in 2 steps.
Step 1. Yandex account
You need to create an account in this search engine. This is done by opening mailbox. The mailbox address will be your login for all services, and the password, respectively, will be the password.
All our settings will be valid only when we are authorized in the system.
Now you can go to the settings.
Step 2Settings
There are several sections there.
"Set the topic"- the name corresponds to the function performed - you can apply unique design Yandex site by choosing the appropriate one from dozens options.
"Add Widget"- this is the function that I talked about at the beginning. information block that you can place on your page. There are a lot of widget options.
"Set up Yandex"- this item allows you to move the widgets you use on the page, arranging them as you like.
"Change City"- most often, the search engine automatically determines the region in which you entered the Internet, but this is not always convenient (which in different regions different sites are issued for the same requests). You can be in Saratov on a business trip, and if you want to see information about your native Khabarovsk - set the desired city and enjoy.
"Other settings"- there are a few more points that you can adjust for yourself, for example, choose a different language.
Well, this is where I conclude today's article, I hope you have found the answers to all your questions and now you can easily make Yandex the start page of your web browser.
Getting started with any of modern browsers, you invariably end up on its start page, which becomes the starting point for further web surfing. Most well-known network browsers allow you to freely configure this area of the program. To enhance your browsing experience, you can easily set a specific website as your home screen. Many users on the Web are worried about a completely fair question: “How to make your own start page in Yandex Browser?” In this short article we will try to give a comprehensive answer on this topic.
The solution of the problem
Unfortunately, it is impossible to fully configure such an important parameter as the home page in Yandex Browser. Instead, the developers of this network browser offer us to make a choice from two possible options, but first things first. By default, when the program starts, the main page of the site yandex.ru is loaded, and if during previous session If any other tabs were open, they are automatically restored. Change original scenario the work of your browser is possible with the help of the corresponding section of the program. To do this, click on the Yandex Browser Settings button, which can be found in the upper right part of the window, and then select Settings from the list of available options that appears.
After completing the previous step, scroll the mouse wheel a little lower to find an item called "Open at startup". Here you can only choose two options:
- Board with your favorite sites. When you launch the browser, the most frequently visited network resources will always be displayed.
- Previously opened tabs. After loading the program, the sites that were opened during the previous session will be shown.
The second item includes the ability to open yandex.ru if there are no tabs. You can change this scenario by clicking on the checkmark next to it.
This is how we set up the home page in Yandex Browser, since there are no alternatives yet.
Conclusion
Since it is impossible to completely change the start page in Yandex Browser, this feature has served as a weighty reason for criticism. this product. Many users believe that the ability to set any website as the home screen of a web browser is an integral part of it. However, Yandex has a different opinion, which is most likely due to a rather aggressive market promotion own services. One way or another, let's hope that the developers will listen to the wishes of users and in new version Yandex Browser will add this missing feature to their product.
Instruction

Typically, the next page will open a list of available sites containing that keyword. You will need the line "Yandex - search engine and Internet portal". It is usually listed first. Click on this link and go to the main page of Yandex. This way to go to Yandex is affordable, but inconvenient. As well as constant input into the search or address bar yandex.ru. Therefore, if among the various search engines you prefer Yandex, it is best to set it as your home page.
To do this, open the "main page" of the service by clicking on the link yandex.ru. Find the underlined inscription "Set Yandex as the start page" in the upper left corner of the new page. Click the link and launch the browser: now it will immediately open from Yandex.
In some browsers, the inscription "Set Yandex as the start page" may be missing. To do this, you just need to change your browser settings a little. Take a close look at the work panel, find the "Settings" option. Depending on the browser model, it may be located in various places, but most often in the "tools" tab.

However this way, although simple, does not always work. This is due to the fact that some browsers do not support Yandex. As a rule, these are browsers with a built-in search for "Mail".
