How to make a starter browser. How to make Yandex a start page in different browsers? How to make Yandex start page on Android in Google Chrome browser

The start page is available in most browsers. Users choose the most familiar and convenient search engine in this capacity. Yandex is popular in Russia. Therefore, users make it their home page. The main thing is to set up your computer correctly.

Sometimes the user doesn't like the default start page in the browser. Therefore, you have to change it. One of the options is to make Yandex your start page. Then it will be much more convenient to search for the information you need.

The start page is a site that loads every time you start your default browser. It also opens when the user presses the Home button or the Alt + Home key combination, or Ctrl + Spacebar. In this capacity, users usually use:

  • frequently viewed sites;
  • email;
  • resource lists;
  • news feeds;
  • search engines;
  • anti-virus resources;
  • online translators;
  • services for sending SMS.

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 a great target for viruses that inject ads or pornography instead. Therefore, competent users install antivirus software. 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 steps. They are simple:

  • the owner of the computer 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 a start page in different browsers?

Many computer owners install multiple browsers on their favorite laptops or desktop PCs. Therefore, the owner often prefers that on his device, each bootloader produces a different start page. 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 the new versions of Windows - 7, 8, 8.1, 10. To make Yandex start page in Internet Explorer, you need to run 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

The Edge bootloader for the latest version of Windows uses Microsoft's MSN search engine. 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 your start page in this downloader.

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

Setting up Yandex in Chrome 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 tick the "Show the Home button" option.
  3. Now look at the address of the existing home site and select "Change" by entering the address www.yandex.ru.

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

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

The migration is now complete. It is important to remember that in this search engine, the home page is opened by pressing the Alt + Home buttons. It also makes life easier for the user.

Mozilla Firefox

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

  1. The user searches for "Settings" in the bootloader menu and opens the "General" tab.
  2. The host of the computer opens the item "When Firefox starts" and "Show home page".
  3. Enter www.yandex.ru in the field titled "Home page".
  4. The owner of the gadget clicks OK.

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

Opera

In Opera, the home site is not difficult to set up. There is a standard algorithm. Let's give it.

  1. Open the Opera bootloader menu.
  2. Find "Tools" and select "General Settings".
  3. Select the "General" 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 start when the user opens the browser. Everything is ready!

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

Safari

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

Sometimes you can't change the home page. One of the reasons for the trouble is computer viruses. Usually, 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 button) on the shortcut and looks at "Properties".
  2. Now you need to pay attention to the "Object" field - there may be an indication of Vebalt. You just need to delete it and click OK.

In most cases, this will fix 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 start site is easy in any modern browser. The main condition is to carefully read the instructions on the Internet and make sure that there are no viruses on the computer. The schemes are similar for different bootloaders, so even a novice user can handle this task.

Good day.

I'm almost sure () that almost every user, accessing the Internet, is interested in (at least) the most ordinary things: what the weather will be like tomorrow, what's going on in the World (i.e. news), what interesting films are shown, how the dollar / ruble "feels" there (recently relevant for our country)... It is so?

If you count, then in order to find out such information - you need to visit 3 ÷ 5 sites! You can, of course, do it this way, but in my opinion, it is much better to customize it for yourself yandex home page and receive this information in its entirety by visiting one web page. In addition, having read all the news, you can immediately go to the search. Very comfortably!

Actually, in this article I will show you how to install Yandex with the start page in the browser, I will give some basic setup and service capabilities. I think that many, having configured their browser once, will be able to significantly save time (and time is money) !

How to make it start in the browser

Perhaps the article should begin with how to make it so that when the browser starts, the Yandex main page automatically opens (ie so as not to open any "Favorites" tabs and not follow links from any menu).

Method 1

If you have not visited the Yandex home page for a long time (the link is given above), then when you visit it, a small window will pop up in the corner of the screen with a proposal to change the home page. If you don't mind, just agree ...

Method 2

You can do everything manually. I will consider several popular browsers below.

Google chrome

First, open your browser settings. You can do it in 2 ways:

  1. or in the upper right corner of the window, click on the "three" points;
  2. or insert the following address into the address bar of the browser: chrome: // settings /

Actually, after restarting the browser, you will see that Yandex has automatically opened for you ...

Mozilla Firefox

In general, in this browser, almost everything is done in the same way (as in Chrome): first, open the settings (an alternative way is to go to the page about: preferences # home ) .

Firefox (start) / Clickable

By the way, please note that when working in Firefox you can open the home page at any time: just click on the "house" icon next to the address bar.

Microsoft Edge

First you need to open parameters (To do this, click on the icon in the upper right corner of the "three dots", and find this item in the menu).

Further it is necessary in subsection "Show in new Microsoft Edge window" choose option "Specific page or pages" and specify the desired web address (see example below on the screenshot).

If the page cannot be installed

As a complement ...

If you cannot change the start page in the browser, you may have "caught" a virus (note: many of them block the ability to change the page. Another option is also possible: the settings can be changed, but after restarting the browser, the "old" page opens again) ...

If you are faced with a similar problem, I recommend that you read a couple of my articles:

  1. programs to remove Malware, ads from browsers, malware that antiviruses cannot see -
  2. How to remove virus from browser - in 5 steps -

Choosing your city and setting the theme

Next, what I would recommend to do (after switching to Yandex and installing it as a start page) is to specify your city (in general, usually the search engine determines it automatically, but this does not always happen correctly) ... This will let you know about all the news in your city, incidents, posters, etc.

This is done quite simply: in the upper right corner of the screen, click on the link "customization" and go to the section for specifying the city. See screenshot below.

There is an option for both automatic determination of your location and manual adjustment. In general, everything is quite simple.

Please note that after specifying your city: you will be able to quickly view all the events and news taking place in it. It is very comfortable!

In addition to the city, I would also note that you can change the standard theme to something more interesting (for example, many make it darker, more contrasting). To do this, just select an option among the settings (see example below).

Theme selection / Clickable

After choosing one of the themes, the search engine will be transformed (for example, I installed New Year's Eve ...).

Important!

All settings made on the Yandex home page will be saved only in the browser in which you made them. To make them "work" always and in any browser - get yourself a profile on Yandex (for example).

Note: to register, you just need to indicate your initials and phone number (for security and confirmation of some operations). See screenshot below.

How to delete or move some blocks

Some of the blocks on the Yandex home page (for example, maps, TV program, weather, traffic jams, etc.) can either be deleted or moved to another more convenient place.

To do this, you need to use the tab "Settings / Configure Yandex" .

After that, you will see that each block is highlighted in gray, and a cross appears in its corner. Now you can just close everything you don't need, and move the rest to a more convenient place.

When all the blocks are in their place - just press the button "Save" at the bottom of the screen. Further, all blocks will be fixed and will be displayed in this form every time you visit Yandex.

How to set up a currency rate (select currencies to display)

In Yandex, the exchange rate is very conveniently "attached" (right above the search bar). If you click on the "three dots" next to the rate, you can see the exchange quotes of the major currencies (dollar, ruble, oil).

By the way, on the quotes page there is also a settings option (you can add other currencies that you would like to watch).

I note that the possibilities are quite extensive: you can even track the Bitcoin rate (in addition, Yandex can mark sharp rate fluctuations in a separate color, which is also convenient).

The added quotes are displayed (and tracked) immediately after you save the settings. In general, it is quite convenient to find out in time what happened to the ruble ...

How to customize the news feed (according to your interests)

On the Yandex home page (if you skip it a little lower, under the posters and films) there is a tape (Zen). In general, it is generated automatically (using artificial intelligence) based on your interests. And interesting life news often pops up in it, which it would be nice to know about in advance ...

Automation-automation, but the Zen feed can also be formed based on personal added channels (for example, you can add websites on cars, economics, politics to it - depending on your tastes) ... To do this, click on the "Zen" link (see the screen below).

After which you will see dozens of sections: auto, home, business, food, etc. Choose one of the sections that interest you.

After that, you will see dozens of different popular portals that you can subscribe to. For example, I chose "Mail Auto" - and now posts on automotive topics will flash among the feed. Very convenient!

Of course, you can add dozens of different interesting portals to your liking (in a similar way). Thus, the news feed will delight you with interesting events every day ...

That's all for now. Happy work!
