Resetting the browser, or resetting the browser settings - changing the browser settings to the default settings. When using an Internet browser program, the browser changes the settings of some parameters that affect more negative impact for the program to work.
Browser settings change according to various reasons: due to incorrect user actions, often third party programs independently change the browser settings without the user’s consent (replacing the start page, search engine, etc.), install extensions and plugins into the browser that change the application’s operating parameters, etc. Because of this, errors occur in the browser and do not work some functions.
Therefore, it makes sense to solve the problems that have arisen without using a radical solution: completely removing the browser from the computer and then installing it again. Many problems can be solved by resetting the browser settings (cleaning the browser), as a result of which the default settings will be restored.
I recommend using the restore settings feature first, because most problems are solved this way. I myself often use this function to restore browser functionality.

How simple Hello everyone Today we’ll talk about Yandex Browser, or rather about one of its problems that happened to it. Well, you probably already suspect that this is what I mean, I’m talking about the design of the browser, that is, about its design: the design that everyone is familiar with took and disappeared. He is a thing of the past, and in his place came more new design Yandex Browser, and in new versions of the browser it can no longer be returned. But can this be fixed? You can guys, you can, you need to do something, many users are looking on the Internet for how to return the old Yandex Browser design, but they still can’t find an answer...
But why did the Yandex Browser design change, you thought? Well, it seems to me that they changed it because it was kind of not very good, and so they came up with a new one.. That is, the new type design is better than the old one, they didn’t ask anyone, they showed this design first, but in its settings could be turned off. But then this option was removed, that is, either you use Yandex Browser with a new design, or if you don’t like the new design, then guys, that’s your problem.. Well, isn’t it funny?
Okay guys, let's think about it. So look, this is what the browser looks like with the new design:
This is his home page, so to speak, you see the background there, the clouds? This is all animated, that is, it moves, although you probably already know that. It's kind of a fashionable feature. If you open a tab, like the Yandex search engine, the browser will look like this:
In principle, guys, it seems that everything is not so bad, you can definitely use it. But it was better before, there was such a regular window, so to speak, in the Windows style, it seems that this is the main difference. Well, there was no this fashionable browser screensaver. So, what needs to be done to return the old Yandex Browser design? The first thing that came to my mind was to remove the new version of the browser and install the old one. In principle, I was even sure that this is exactly what it is correct solution. And I started looking for the old version, but it was very difficult to find it, because there are no old versions on the official website. Well, on other sites, you understand, the browser can be glued with a virus, well, in short, it’s not entirely safe...
All actions, well, to return the old design, should be carried out only when closed Yandex Browser, well, I’m telling you this just in case!
But then I came across an old and respected RuBoard forum, it’s an old forum, but it’s full of all kinds of information, the most important thing is that the information is necessary, you know. The forum is smart! Well, on this forum, in a topic about Yandex Browser, I found this information (one user wrote there) that they say you can write something in some file and this should return the old browser design, even if you have a new version of Yandex Browser that does not support returning to the old design. Well, to be honest, it was hard to believe, but I tried anyway. And you know what? I was pleasantly surprised because this trick worked and I was able to return the old design to new version browser, it's just super. In general, I tell you everything how to do it. Look, you need to hold down the Win + R buttons, then the Run window will appear, there you need to write the following command:
This team is needed to get into Roaming folder. In general, click OK, a folder will open, in it you need to click here:
This is in order to get exactly into AppData folder. Next you will be taken to this folder, here you already need to go to Local folder:
Are you in the Local folder? Great, now inside, follow this path, that is, you need to get here:
\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data
You will most likely have almost the same thing inside you as I do, well, that is, this:
Well, now the most important thing is that in this folder you need to find a file such as Local State, here I have it:
Guys, we'll have to edit the Local State file, you know? Therefore, just in case, I advise you to make a copy of it, but you never know.
Now we open it, that is, click on it twice, then there will be a program selection, select Notepad there:
Click OK, the file will open in Notepad, inside it there will be all sorts of things like this:
Well, it’s clear that it’s not particularly clear what’s what. What you need to do here is this, you need to open the Edit menu, and there find the Replace item, and select it:
The Replace window will appear and there will be two fields, What and What, this is the window with these fields:
Well, I think you understand what these fields are? Well, now you need to do very strictly what I am about to write. So where the What field is, then you insert this:
"custo_ui_first_time_launch":false,
Where the Than field is, then there you write this:
"custo_use_classic_interface":true,"custo_ui_first_time_launch":false,
Write exactly as I indicated here, with all commas and quotation marks. As a result, your window should look like this:
Well, as you already understood, all you have to do is click the Replace All button once. I repeat that the button must be pressed once, no more! Then click on the cross text document, there will be a message like this, here you click the Save button:
Then launch Yandex Browser and see if anything has changed, that is, if the old design has returned:
As you can see, everything worked out, the old design has actually returned, which, it seems to me, is really a little more pleasant
I hope that at that moment, well, when you read this article, the link will work. Well, it shouldn't stop working at all.
As you can see, on the one hand it’s simple, but on the other you need to tinker a little... I’ll also show you this, now it’s 2017, the version of Yandex Browser I have is this:
I’m showing you the version so that you know that in this version (16.11.1.673) this trick definitely works. But whether it will work in future versions, I don’t know, but most likely it will. But sooner or later, a version may calmly come where such a trick will no longer work, this is a point you need to take into account. Therefore, you can right now download Yandex Browser, its installer, but not the web installer (it always downloads from the Internet latest version), namely an offline installer, so that you have it just in case. Suddenly in next update Yandex Browser's trick of returning the old design won't work? Well, you understand..
These are the pies guys, as you can see, it’s a bit of a hassle, but you can still return the old Yandex Browser design. If anything, read the RuBoard forum, it's cool. Well, that’s all, I hope that everything was clear to you here, but if something is wrong, then you’ll excuse me. Good luck in life and may everything go well for you
