Most of all, the situation concerns the programs that we actively use, one of these applications is the web browser. Yandex is our favorite browser, so we recommend cleaning Yandex browser and repeating the full or partial cleaning procedure at regular intervals, once every 3 days, a week or 2 weeks. The frequency of cleaning directly depends on the intensity of use of the web browser and the power of the computer (more often on weak PCs).

There are numerous reasons to reset the entire browser state or its individual sections to zero:

  • Eliminate freezes. If the web browser started to work slower, the first step to restore it is to remove unnecessary history entries, cookies and cache;
  • Maintain confidentiality. The browser stores browsing history, as well as cookies for entering sites. An outsider can easily see where logins have been made, as well as log into accounts social networks (if you did not leave them);
  • Prepare the computer for transfer / sale. We recommend that you carefully erase all user data to prevent data theft. It is important to remember that after deleting files, they can be restored, so it is worth using a hard wipe with special programs Recuva, Ontrack Erase, etc .;
  • Speed \u200b\u200bup the system. After cleaning, there is an increase in productivity from 5% to 50%, depending on the degree of littering and the number of installed extensions;
  • Protect yourself from password theft. The browsers store logins and passwords that we have allowed to save. If the master password is not set, they can be viewed by any PC user. We strongly discourage saving passwords on public and corporate computers;
  • Restore browser functionality due to incorrect settings. Especially often disruptions occur due to a conflict of add-ons and incorrect installation of a proxy.
