Another start page. How to make Yandex the start page in your browser. Solving problems with automatic opening of other search engines

When you start working with any of the modern browsers, you invariably end up on its start page, which becomes the starting point for further web surfing. Most well-known network browsers allow you to freely customize this area of ​​the program. To enhance your online experience, you can easily set a specific website as your home screen. Many users on the Internet are concerned about a completely fair question: “How can I make my own start page in Yandex Browser?” In this short article we will try to give a comprehensive answer on this topic.

The solution of the problem

Unfortunately, you cannot fully configure such an important parameter as the home page in Yandex Browser. Instead, the developers of this network browser offer us a choice from two possible options, but first things first. By default, when the program starts, the main page of the yandex.ru website is loaded, and if any other tabs were opened during the previous session, they are automatically restored. You can change the initial operating script of your browser using the corresponding section of the program. To do this, you need to click on the Yandex Browser Settings button, which can be found in the upper right part of the window, and then select Settings from the list of available options that appears.

After completing the previous step, scroll the mouse wheel a little lower to find an item called “Open at startup.” Here you can choose only two options:

  • Scoreboard with your favorite sites. When you launch the browser, the most frequently visited network resources will always be displayed.
  • Previously opened tabs. After loading the program, sites that were opened during the previous session will be shown.

The second item includes the ability to Open yandex.ru if there are no tabs. You can change this scenario by clicking on the checkmark next to it.

This is how we set up the home page in Yandex Browser, since there are no alternative options yet.

Conclusion

Since it is impossible to completely change the start page in Yandex Browser, this feature served as a significant reason for criticism of this product. Many users believe that the ability to set any website as the start screen of a network browser is an integral part of it. However, Yandex has a different opinion, which is most likely due to the rather aggressive promotion of its own services to the market. One way or another, let's hope that the developers will listen to the wishes of users and add this missing function to their product in the new version of Yandex Browser.

Have you already chosen the best search engine and want to make Yandex your start page so that its main page opens automatically when you launch your favorite browser? No problem. In this article we will look at ways to change the home page in all popular browsers manually and automatically.

In rare cases, before changing or restoring the start page, you need to remove an adware virus that may have settled on your computer and opens one of the following pages with your web browser:

  • webalta.ru;
  • bing.com;
  • hi.ru.

You can read detailed instructions on how to remove such viruses in our article - and then continue.

Setting the start page in Mozilla FireFox

The Mozilla browser is a freely developed web browser and is supplied to users without a pre-installed start page (in cases where the program is downloaded from the official website).

To install Yandex as such, do the following:

1. Open Mazila and go to settings.

2. In the “Basic” section, select “Show home page” and below enter its address - https://www.yandex.ru.

The changes will take effect the next time you start FireFox, and Yandex will become the new home page.

Mozilla version for mobile phones

Do you want Yandex to open when FireFox starts and on your phone, no problem.

1. Open Settings and go to the General tab.

2. In the "Home" section, select "Set Home Page".

3. In the pop-up window, enter the search engine address and click “Ok”.

You can verify that the actions were performed correctly by simply restarting the browser.

Making Yandex the start page in Google Chrome 63.00 and higher.

The Chrome browser from the famous Internet giant Google is based on the Chromium engine, so the instructions for installing the start page will also apply to the following browsers:

  • Amigo;
  • Orbitum;
  • Satellite.

By default, for quick access to the necessary sites, Chrome uses the “Home” button, and on the first screen, a panel of the resources you most visit opens.

You can change the start page on Yandex manually through the settings.

1. Open Google Chrome settings.

2. Find the "Start Chrome" section and select "Set Pages".

Be careful, the list may already contain addresses of other sites, and when you launch the browser, additional tabs will open in addition to Yandex. You can avoid this situation by leaving no more than one address on the list.

3. Click “Add page” and enter “yandex.ru” in the window that opens.

All. If you followed the sequence of actions correctly, when you launch Chrome again, the Yandex main page will automatically open.

Mobile version of Chrome

Setting Yandex as the home page in your Chrome mobile browser is not much different from its “web” version.

1. Open your browser, go to the settings section and select “Home Page”.

2. By default, most users already have this function enabled, but many smartphone manufacturers set their websites and services as home (as in my example).

We only need to change the address of the preset page on Yandex.ru.

Setting Yandex as the home page in the Yandex browser

It seems that users of Yandex Browser should have no problem setting the main page of the search engine of the same name as the start page - alas, this is not the case.

After, you might find that the concept of “Start page” is missing in the browser settings, so you can limit yourself to changing the default search engine, or partially solve the problem with simple steps.

1. Open the Ya Browser settings and find the “Open at startup” section.

2. Change the preset settings to those shown in the screenshot.

When you finish working with the browser, close all active tabs and the next time you start, the Yandex.ru main page will open.

Setting up the home page in the Opera browser

Changing the start page on Yandex in Opera will not require more effort from you than in the case of other Internet browsers.

1. Open Opera settings, “General” section.

2. In the “At startup” tab, select the “Open a specific page or several pages” checkbox and click “Set pages”.

Do not include many pages in the list - this may cause the operating system to freeze for a short time when opening Opera, or if your computer’s performance is weak.

There is no need to save anything; the changes you make will take effect immediately after you restart the browser.

Unfortunately, the mobile version of Opera (we are talking about version 44.11) does not have the ability to customize the home page. Users have to be content with news provided by software developers and a list of recently visited sites.

How to make Yandex start in Microsoft Edge

The most popular, but not the most popular program for Internet surfing, is Microsoft Edge. Programmers from Microsoft took care of their users and made setting up Yandex as a start page accessible in a few mouse clicks.

1. Open the Edge browser and go to Settings.

2. In the tab indicated in the picture, select “Specific page or pages”. In the field below, enter the url address of the search engine - https://www.yandex.ru, and click on the floppy disk icon to save the changes.

The changes made will not work on the included Internet Explorer, but they are performed in a similar way.

Set Yandex as the start page automatically

Yandex is directly interested in popularizing its products and that is why it has developed a special extension for browsers that sets the Yandex home page automatically.

The extension is available at https://home.yandex.ru/ and is available for installation in the following browsers:

  • Google Chrome and others, based on the Chromium engine;
  • Mozilla FireFox.

If the web browser is not supported, the page will display an alternative manual installation method.

There are no analogue extensions for mobile devices.

Possible problems

Right-click on the browser icon and select “Properties”, go to the “Shortcut” section and remove all unnecessary labels without touching the direct path to the file.

This action will help temporarily solve the problem, since the virus may again replace the start page the next time the system starts. To remove it, follow the link mentioned at the beginning of the article.

Conclusion

As you can see, there is nothing complicated about changing the start page in the browser. The developers made sure that this function is available in a few clicks, and Yandex itself allows you to carry out this operation automatically.

The procedure I described is relevant for the following versions of browsers and does not depend on the installed version of Windows:

  • Mozilla FireFox - 54.0 and higher;
  • Google Chrome - 63.00 and higher;
  • Yandex browser 17.00 and higher;
  • Opera 50.00 and above.

Almost all Internet browsers have the ability to make your favorite site the start page, except...except for the Yandex browser.

Yes, indeed, in the modern browser from the Yandex search engine there is no function for setting up the start or home page. However, as always, I tried to deal with this problem and found a way out of the situation.

And I found it. The fact is that on each new tab it displays a display of visual bookmarks, which consist of frequently visited sites. All we have to do is configure the browser in such a way that at startup this board will launch, on which only one or several favorite sites will be displayed.

And so, let's go...

Open a new tab and delete all unnecessary bookmarks (visual ones, I mean). In order to delete a bookmark, simply hover over it with the mouse and click on the cross:

We leave only a few favorite sites or one. If the site you want to see is not on the start page, you can add it there. To do this, simply click on the “Add” button of the same name. Let's look at the screenshot:

We enter the site address, I enter the Google search engine, and click on the “Finish” button:

This is what I got now:

Now we just have to make sure that this page starts at the start.

Click on the menu button in the upper right corner and select “Settings” from the drop-down list:

We open the settings in a separate tab. At the very beginning of this page we find the phrase “Open at startup” and set the switch to the “New tab” position.

How to make the Yandex home page the starting page in the browser so that it opens automatically immediately after starting the program. In this case, the website (www.yandex.ru) of the Yandex search engine will act as the main (start) page of the browser.

Typically, users independently choose what exactly will be opened after launching the browser: a search engine page, launching several pages at once, opening a specific web page, a page with the most frequently visited sites (express panel), or a page with certain sites (service or extension for so-called visual bookmarks).

Many people start working in the browser from the Yandex main page, which they use as their home (start) page. Therefore, users need the main page of the Yandex search engine website to open immediately after launching the browser. How to make Yandex start page launch automatically?

There are two ways to set Yandex.ru as the main page:

  • bookmark to the Yandex home page - “home page” in some browsers;
  • opening the start page automatically after starting the browser.

If you use a bookmark, to open the yandex.ru page, the user will additionally have to click on the button with the image of a house located opposite the address bar in the browser.

Another option is to launch the start page (Yandex main page) automatically, immediately after opening the browser window. This is the most suitable option for those who need to open the main page of the Yandex search engine as the browser start page.

There are 3 options for installing the Yandex home page in browsers as the initial page that opens at startup:

  • independently changing the settings of a specific browser to save the Yandex home page;
  • a special Yandex application for automatic configuration;
  • changing the home page using the Yandex Browser Manager.

From time to time, Yandex itself offers the user who has opened the main page of the search engine to automatically set their page as the starting page in the browser.

Next, let's see how to make Yandex ru the start page in popular browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer. Keep in mind that Yandex Browser does not have a start page. There are also special “Yandex versions” of some popular browsers, in which settings are made for Yandex.

Opposite the name of the page in the “Set Pages” list, click on the “More” button (in the form of three dots), and then select the desired option: “Delete” or “Change”.
