Hello everyone, dear readers! More than 5 years ago, specialists from Google created a simple and functional Chrome browser, it worked on the Chromium platform of the same name. It was freely available, so anyone could use it to create their own browser. The developers from Yandex did just that, the result was unusual, the Yandex product worked faster than Chrome, and it had more functions.
In today's short episode I will tell you how to set up the Yandex browser and what functions it has. In addition, you will learn how to change the appearance of the browser, set search engines, etc. I work with this browser, so in today's article you will receive extended information.
You will change the main configurations in the main menu of the browser; in the latest version (dated 10/21/2016) it looks like this. To get to the menu you need to click on the icon with three stripes in the upper right corner - you will immediately notice it. After this a menu will appear:
Immediately go to “Settings”. You will see many components in the window. Pay attention to the following options if you have not delved into the browser's capabilities before.
How to set up Yandex browser?
So, first of all, where should we actually start setting up the Yandex browser? At this point you can select which pages will open when the browser starts. For example, you can start working with clean slate or save tabs that were not closed during the previous session.
- Settings appearance. By default, all options will be enabled. If you are bothered by new features that appeared after a recent update, disable them. For example, I don't like the new Zen strip, so I unchecked that box.
— Show the bookmarks bar. Initially set to “Never”, you can always see your bookmarks on the panel or only on the display when you open an empty tab. If necessary, you can make site icons appear - this way you can quickly navigate and find the site you need.
- Synchronization. This important function for those users who use Yandex browser on different devices. You need to create a free account and log in to the system. When you sign in to your account, all your settings and bookmarks will be transferred to other devices. That is, your computer, laptop and even your phone will have the same browser - this is very convenient.
- Default browser. Do you use the Yandex browser as your main browser? Then check the box next to the appropriate item. Now all hyperlinks will be opened in Yandex.
— Passwords and autofill. The browser can save your passwords for various sites - this makes surfing easier, since you do not have to constantly enter code words. By default, autofill is enabled, but if you think this feature is unsafe, you can always disable it.
- Turbo. An indispensable thing for users whose computer is too low speed Internet connections. Check the box next to “Automatically start turbo at low speed”.
— Mouse gestures. You can quickly perform actions using specific mouse gestures. For example, to return to the previous page. I even got used to this innovation, but reviews say that few people liked this innovation.
Changes to settings take effect immediately after they are made - you do not need to restart the program. I have listed the main part, you can also explore the additional parameters yourself. Now let's move on to setting up the Tableau. By the way, before I forget, I wanted to ask you, do you use Yandex disk? You can read more about this issue in this article:
Scoreboard in Yandex Browser

If necessary, you can place links directly above search bar. We've sorted out the scoreboard, let's move on. Next, I suggest you watch the following video:
