The start page is the page that is loaded immediately after the browser is launched. Some uninformed users may believe that it is set by default and cannot be changed in any way. However, this myth is completely dispelled, since it is definitely possible to make changes to the settings. In addition, the whole process will take just a couple of minutes, which is good news. Initially, after installing the browser, a blank page or an express panel opens in front of the user (an area consisting of “tiles” where you can set a set of bookmarks).

There are only a few ways to replace the start page in the browser. First of all, you need to decide in which browser you will need to change the page. In order to consider this issue in more detail, the start page on Yandex will be changed in all popular browsers. Why do you need to change it at all? With this you can save time. That is, you will not need to enter the search engine address, but just launch the browser and enter the desired search phrase. This is quite convenient, but the choice is clearly made by the user.

There are two main options for achieving the goal (changing the start page): manual and automatic. If you use the first one, then all settings will need to be made manually. The second method is easier, but for this you need to download a special application. Let's focus on the second option:

If you want to make Yandex your start page, you have come to the right address. To solve the problem, all that remains is to go to the section with instructions on replacing the home page of the Internet browser used on your computer and follow the steps presented in the article.
The home page is the page that opens by default (when the browser starts). As a rule, this is an email, the last page opened before leaving the browser, or even an express panel with links to frequently visited or selected Internet resources by the user.
You can make Yandex your start page directly from the search engine’s web page

Despite the popularity of the Google search engine, many countries (China, Russia and some Eastern European countries) prefer their own search engines, due to their focus on national sites. So Yandex has become the most popular and most effective search engine in the Russian-language segment of the global network. In numerous tests, it ranks first in terms of the accuracy of the results of sampling information among Russian-language sites.

Therefore, it makes sense to use it as the default search engine and set it as the start page. Moreover, in addition to the search engine, the Yandex.ru website displays a feed of the latest news in the region, weather in the city, posters and other useful information.

Making Yandex the main search engine page in your Internet browser is quite simple. The main thing is to perform the replacement operation manually, because numerous software, supposedly developed to solve this problem, can easily add hassle to eliminating the consequences of its activities. The problem that users face in this case is the inability to specify the address of the start page due to the activity of a malicious program.

Such applications replace the link to the initial site with their own, leading to a resource with advertising, prohibited content, or malware. A utility for detecting and removing malware will come to the rescue here. The best solution in this case is to use the functionality of a utility from a domestic developer called AVZ.

It is recommended to install the Yandex browser on your computer using the web installer located on the official website at the link: https://browser.yandex.ua/?lang=uk&intl=1&lang=ru#main.

To install the Yandex browser, run the downloaded executable file and follow the instructions. During installation, program files are downloaded from the developer company's server. If you use a slow Internet, downloading the distribution may take a while, be patient. For quick access to the browser, we recommend installing Yandex on your desktop, or rather creating a shortcut to launch it.

1. Go to settings by clicking on the gear icon.

2. Find the item “Where to start?” and mark the opening of the quick access page.

3. Then select “Open ya.ru if there are no tabs.”

Automatic replacement of the start page using utilities from Yandex

A convenient method of replacing and controlling the home page in all Internet browsers is to use the functionality of utilities provided by the search giant.

One of these applications is downloaded on the home.yandex.ru page. We go to the specified address from the browser, where we plan to replace the address of the starting page, download the application and install it, following the installer’s instructions.

The second program is downloaded from http://bm.yandex.ru and has a different purpose. It replaces the address of the original site with its own and prohibits third-party applications from changing it, which makes the computer invulnerable to the influence of services such as Webalta.

Solving problems with automatic opening of other search engines

As mentioned above, the problem that users encounter when replacing the start page is the inability to enter its address. The most common problem is the launch of the site http://webalta.ru/ - a Russian search engine promoted by setting its own page as the start page without permission or notification of the user. Moreover, this action is performed in all browsers without exception.

The problem is resolved by removing unnecessary shortcut parameters for launching the program and clearing the registry of its contents.

1. We call “Properties” of the browser shortcut, when launched, the Webalta website, Conduit Search, Pirrit Suggestor and other search services appear.
2. We delete everything related to these sites after the name of the executable file (see screenshot) and click “OK”.

To finally get rid of traces of the activity of malicious applications, go to the system registry to find all the keys with the value “Webalta” or another imposed search engine and delete them. Now you know how to make Yandex your start page.

Many users, when starting their browser, begin to enter a specific address into the address bar, most often this is the familiar search engine Yandex or Google. Agree – this is not always convenient.

That is why in this article I will tell you how to make a start page in various popular browsers.

The start page is the page that opens immediately when the browser starts. Accordingly, you can start working with it without doing any unnecessary actions.

In many browsers, you can set any site that is interesting to you as the start page. For example, in the article I will describe, how to make the Yandex search engine your start page in selected browsers.

How to make a start page in Google Chrome

Launch Google Chrome, click on the “Menu” button and go to the “Settings” of the browser.

In the field "Add page" Enter the URL of the site we need and click “OK”. As I said above, I enter the address of the Yandex search engine. You can insert here any other address of a site that is interesting to you.

Please note that when you launch the browser, all pages in this list will open in tabs. Those of them that you do not need can be deleted by clicking on the cross.

If you have several pages from which you prefer to start working in the browser, you can use visual bookmarks for Google Chrome. For convenience, you can also configure the home page settings by clicking on the house icon in the upper left corner of the browser.

How to make a start page in Mozilla Firefox

Launch Firefox and go to “Menu” - “Settings”.

On the “Basic” tab, expand the drop-down list "When Firefox starts" and take in "Show home page".

Now in the field "Home page" enter the desired address. In my case, the Yandex search engine will be the start page for Mozilla Firefox.

Thanks to many different extensions, you can set Yandex visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox as your start page. Install the desired extension and copy the address of the page with open visual bookmarks into the field "Home page".

With their help you will get quick access to many sites. Moreover, they display the sites that you visit most often, and you can also customize them yourself.

How to make a start page in Opera

Launch the browser and click the “Menu” button in the upper left corner, from the list go to “Settings”.

On the “Basic” tab, in the “At startup” section, put a marker next to the item “Open a specific page or several pages”, then follow the link "Set Pages".

Now in the field "Add the required page" enter the address of the page that will be your starting page and click “OK”.

Now I have a Yandex start page in Opera, you will have the one whose address you enter. This is what will open when you start the browser.

How to make a start page in Internet Explorer

Let's launch the browser. Unfortunately, you won’t find the “Menu” button here, so press Alt on your keyboard. The standard IE menu will appear. Click on the “Service” tab and select the item "Internet Options".

In the next window, on the “General” tab, pay attention to the section "Home page". Now copy the URL of the page you want to make the start page and paste it into the free field, click “Apply” and “OK”.

If you want several pages to open at once when IE starts, enter the address of each of them in this field on a new line.

How to make a start page in Yandex.Browser

The browser is the newest, at the time of writing, and, in my opinion, the most “interesting”: after all, the developers in it have removed the function of customizing the start page (maybe they will change something later).

Click on the "Menu" button and select "Settings".

Here you can mark with a marker or , or “Restore tabs opened last time”.

In the second case, when you start the browser, all sites that you did not close last time will open. If you check this item and close all tabs when you finish working in the browser, then when you start it again, the Yandex start page will open.

Considering that, as an example, I make Yandex the start page in all browsers, this will suit me. But…

If you want to make any other site as a start page, check the box "Open quick access page". Now, when you launch Yandex.Browser, a page will open that looks like this - this is the so-called “Tableboard”.

It is very similar to visual bookmarks. Thumbnails of sites you frequently visit will be displayed in rectangles. By clicking on one of them, you will immediately go to the desired page. In addition, you can add up to 20 miniatures with the sites you need and pin any of them in a specific square. As for me, this can be used as an alternative to setting the start page in Yandex.Browser.

Now you should not have any questions about how to make the start page in such popular browsers as: Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, Internet Explorer and Yandex.Browser. Everything is done very easily and quickly.

When the user double-clicks a program shortcut, the browser loads. The first thing we see on the screen is the initial panel, which displays the sites most frequently visited by the user. There may also be links to pages that were added manually and are not loaded often enough. A person working at this computer can either delete, change or install any page on the panel, while setting up the program in the most optimal way.

The second option for the navigator program is to open pages visited the last time it was loaded. This is not always convenient, especially in cases where a person forgot to remove confidential information.

In this case, to go to the panel described above, you will need to additionally create a new tab. In order to install it, in the Yandex browser there is a button with the “+” icon located at the top of the screen.

Most browsers provide the user with the ability to get started by loading a home page, which can be set or modified manually to customize the program to suit their needs. In the Yandex browser in question, this will require some effort, bypassing the standard options, which cannot be removed.

Changing the operating modes of the Internet browser

Adding a new download method yourself

To do this, you must first clarify in which folder on your computer the installed Yandex browser is located. Typically this is a folder on the system drive whose name matches the name of the program. You can clarify its location by selecting the “Properties” item, which opens when the shortcut context menu is displayed (right-click on it).

Open the file called browser.bat for editing. Usually it is located in the Application subfolder of the YandexBrowser folder. The most convenient way to do this is with the Total Commander file manager, which has a hotkey that helps you delete unnecessary parts of the contents of any file.

The last line, which looks like this: “c:\users\B91B~1\appdata\local\yandex\YANDEX~1\APPLIC~1\browser.exe” must be changed to the following: “c:\users\B91B~1\appdata \local\yandex\YANDEX~1\APPLIC~1\browser.exe" - http://my.com/.

The home page of the Yandex browser is designated in the example as the site my.com. This name must be removed, replacing it with the one that appears in the address bar when loading the site, which will be used as the start page for subsequent work with the browser.
