Make the Yandex home page the starting page automatically. How to make the main page of Yandex or Google the starting page, as well as set any page (for example, this one) as the home page

Hello friends. Today I will show you how to make the Yandex website the start 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 a search engine. This search engine has many advantages - good quality search results, a pleasant appearance, 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 its 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 reference 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 that I added to myself is a random aphorism, sometimes it is interesting to read something unusual. I also installed a module from Yandex.webmaster, checking fines and others.

I will show you how to add these blocks at the end of the article, but now let's move on to.

Application for installing Yandex.ru start page

The easiest way to make Yandex your start page is to use an application developed by Yandex itself. You can download the application on this website - http://home.yandex.ru/

It automatically replaces the home page of all your browsers with the Yandex one. No hassle or manual settings 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.

Setting up the start page in Mozilla Firefox

I'll start with this browser, since I use it most often. The entire setup procedure will take 20 seconds. To do this, you need to open the browser itself. Next, 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 look for the gear-shaped icon in the drop-down menu - these are settings.

There are many sections in the settings menu, the very first of which is “Basic” (looks like a light switch). This section contains what we need. In the “When Firefox starts” line, select “Show home page”. In the “Home Page” line, you must enter the address of the site that we want to make the starting site (in our case, http://yandex.ru). Click the “OK” button and that’s it – the operation is completed.

Setting Yandex as the start page in Google Chrome

Setting up your home page in Google Chrome is just as easy. Open the browser, in the same upper right corner we look for a button in the form of three horizontal lines called “Setting up and managing Google Chrome”. In the drop-down menu that appears on the screen when you press the button, find the “Settings” item and go to the appropriate section.

On this page, look for the “Appearance” section, check the box next to the item – Show “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, indicate the address you need.

How to set the start page in Internet Explorer

As in all previous cases, setting up the home page in the Internet Explorer browser is very simple. Open the program, find the gear-shaped icon in the upper right corner and select “Browser Options” from the drop-down list.

In the browser properties, we will open the “General” tab 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 next to “Start from the home page” and click the “Apply” button. If you need to set a different start page, then repeat the procedure, indicating 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 many fans and it wouldn’t hurt for them to know about the settings of their favorite web browser. To configure, launch the program, go to the browser menu (the button with the inscription Opera and a large red letter O in the upper left corner) and in this menu select “Settings”. You can make the transition to the settings a little faster by 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 several pages.” In order to specify a specific address for opening, click on the “Set pages” link. In the window that appears, indicate the address of the site that should open when you launch the browser.

Start page in Yandex browser - change with cunning

I admit frankly, I do not use this browser, since my experiment showed that it works much slower than competitors (I wrote about this), and in appearance the Yandex browser is no different from Google Chrome. But for this article, I installed it and am reviewing it along with other popular Internet programs.

Despite the fact that the Yandex browser is based on the Chrome engine, it does not allow you to create a start page using standard methods. It allows you to either show the start page with bookmarks, or open the tabs left over from the last time and, only if they are not there, automatically loads the Yandex search engine (without the ability to select another).

There is a way to set up a starter site by manually changing browser files, but I would not recommend that unprepared people go there.

We'll go the other way - use a little trick, which will allow you to make any website your home page.

To make it 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 “Setting up the Yandex browser” (three horizontal stripes). Select “Settings” from the drop-down menu.

The first thing that is written in this paragraph “Where to start?” We need to put a dot in front of the point about opening a quick access page. Here everything is saved automatically, no button presses required.

2. Set up the Yandex browser start page

Open the site that we want to make the home page (yandex.ru). Right-click on the tab of this site in the top panel of the Yandex browser. In the drop-down menu, click “pin tab”.

That's all. Now, every time you open your browser, you will see the tab that you pinned.

If you want to delete the home page, then also right-click and select “unpin tab”. To install a new page, repeat the entire procedure described in this section.

Customizing a Yandex page

Not everyone knows that you can customize the main page of this search engine to suit yourself. Now you will know it, and hopefully use it.

This setup is done in 2 steps.

Step 1. Account in Yandex

You need to create an account in this search engine. This is done by opening the mailbox. The mailbox address will be your login for all services, and the password, accordingly, will be your password.

All our settings will only apply when we are logged in to the system.

Now you can move on to the settings.

Step 2: Settings

There are several sections there.

"Set topic"– the name corresponds to the function performed – you can apply a unique design for the Yandex website by choosing the appropriate one from dozens of possible options.

"Add widget"– this is the function 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 around the page, arranging them as you see fit.

"Change City"– most often the search engine automatically determines the region in which you logged onto the Internet, but this is not always convenient (

In this tutorial I will show you how to make a Yandex start page. Then, every time you start the browser, the main page of the Yandex website will automatically open.

Method 1: Browser extension

The extension is a free program that can be downloaded and added to the browser. It will automatically change the start page and keep it as default. Now I will show you how to install such an extension:

Go to home.yandex.ru
Click on the "Install" button
In the window, click on “Install extension”

This button may also be called differently: Allow, Add or Run.

After a minute, the extension will be installed and an icon with the letter I will appear at the top of the browser.

Close your browser and open it again. Now, upon startup, the Yandex search engine will immediately appear.

Perhaps the first time a warning window will pop up. In this case, click on “Save Changes”.

Method 2: Set up your home page manually

In any Internet program, you can set up a website that will always open first. Now I will show you how to do this in different browsers on your computer (laptop).

Google Chrome

Click on the button with three dots in the upper corner of the program and select “Settings” from the list.

A new tab will open with the “Launch Chrome” part at the bottom. Click on "Specified Pages" and select "Add Page".

That's it! Now the Yandex search engine will constantly open when the browser starts.

The window will disappear. Now close Internet Explorer and open it again.

How to make Yandex the default search

Often the main search engine in browsers is Google or Mail.ru. But it can be easily changed to Yandex. Then, when you enter a query in the top line of the program, the results of the yandex search engine will be displayed.

The easiest way is to download and install the official application.

Or you can manually change the default search:

Google Chrome is an excellent browser that is rapidly gaining popularity among Internet users. It features a simple and pleasant interface, understandable even to a child.

Another convenient addition to Google Chrome is visual bookmarks. They help you navigate to pages you are interested in in one click.

The browser of the Russian company provides the ability to select several start pages. Your most visited websites will be automatically added.

Similar to Google Chrome's virtual bookmarks, this browser supports a tile panel with visited sites. It is possible to delete unnecessary sites and add new ones. This is done through the “Settings” – “Add” buttons.

This article was written to expand the user's knowledge about the computer. Now you know how to set the home page in the browser and set up visual bookmarks. These tools are convenient, save time, and turn you into an advanced Internet user.

Today we will partially look at the Yandex search engine.

Its main page is the face of the entire system and literally a portal to the wonderful world of the search engine, which occupies a leading position in the RuNet.

There is no point in talking about the reasons for leadership now, because the topic of our article is somewhat different, but, in a few words, then, Yandex:

Helps the user
Friendly even for beginners
Easy to use
Uses a unique ranking system
He has his own path of development and tries to bring something new.

The system was launched back in ninety-seven during a presentation at the Softool exhibition.

And already at that time, Yandex coped with the morphology of the Russian language without any problems, searched for the information the user needed, taking into account the distance.

It also had its own algorithm for the relevance of a particular page of each site that was indexed.

First acquaintance with the main page

In order to get to the Yandex main page, just enter www Yandex or www Yandex ru or ru in the search bar of your browser.

Well, if you are generally lazy or are full of impatience to enjoy a hitherto unprecedented spectacle, just write “Yandex” and click on the first link that appears in the search.

So, we are on the main page. It must be said that since its inception, this search engine’s home page has changed very often.

And all because the developers carefully monitor modern trends and user desires.

Based on all this, like a designer, a page is assembled that best matches what we are used to calling the word “convenience” or “comfort”.

When you arrive on the page for the first time, the first thing you will do is look at the very top, where a strip will pop up offering you to download an adapted browser Yandex.Browser, equipped with special protection technology.

Advice! Despite the fact that Yandex.Browser is well designed and “tailored” to all the desires of a simple user, someone will not want to download it, and the top bar will distract from important information. In this case, you can pay attention to the upper right corner of the page, where there is a “Close” button, made in the form of a cross. Click on it, and you will no longer see the annoying bar asking you to take an action that is unnecessary for you.

Of course, after some time it may appear again, but you will already know exactly what to do with it.

Well, or she will convince you and you still decide to download Yandex.Browser, at least for fun.

At the end of the review, by the way, we will provide you with a video with detailed setup of this browser.

Make Yandex the main page in the browser

You may have a question: “How can I make sure that the Yandex main page is always in my browser and I don’t have to constantly look for it?”

You can do this absolutely free!

The thoughtful developers took care of this, so if you look at the very top left corner of the page, you can find a link that says “Set as homepage”.

Click, you will be prompted to install a special extension and you’re done – home page!

Advice! Pay attention to the picture above. The first arrow (on the left) indicates the main link, which allows you to make Yandex the start page of any browser. However, if you use the Google Chrome browser, you may see a convenient ad (arrow on the left) that will help you install a special extension that will quickly make Yandex the main search engine in the browser. After this, every time you want to surf the Internet, your favorite Yandex home page will automatically load.

We indicate our location if Yandex has not determined it

After some manipulations with the browser, we return to the page and see that the city in which you are currently located is indicated in the same upper left corner.

The system automatically detects it and provides you with information that is most relevant to the place in which you are currently located.

But it may also happen that Yandex makes a mistake and gives you the wrong city.

So, if you are still interested in the Yandex search engine, we will continue. We move to the upper right corner of the page and see several links there.

They allow:

, on which the page will be

, customizing it for yourself

Create an email if you don’t have one (there is a “ ” button)

Advice! Registration in Yandex is fast and convenient. We advise you to use it, because it will allow you to use additional features of the system, as well as save all the changes you have made in the settings.

News in Yandex

Having dealt with the top of the page, we move closer to the middle. As you will notice, a “News” column will appear before your eyes.

Initially, it displays news that is relevant to the country in which you are located.

If your country is Russia, all the news that happened today will be shown. If in Ukraine, the corresponding content will be shown.

However, if you are more interested in news related to the area in which you live, just click on the link next to the "News" link, which is named after your area.

In our case, this is the “Dnepropetrovsk region”.

And to the right of the news, advertising banners of the Yandex company are constantly broadcast, which either help with some little things or talk about some new products of the company and its partners.
