Make it the home page. How to make the Yandex home page the starting page

The start page is the site, the web page that loads along with the browser when it starts. This may be your personal website, the status of which you check daily, a weather page in your city, a search engine.

This is a very convenient browser feature. I will show you how to make Yandex the start page in Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer browsers.

Finding Google Chrome settings

Go to manage start pages

In the settings we find the section Open at startup (Manage start pages).
Press the triangle pointing to the right.

A menu opens that specifies the pages that open when you launch the browser.
You can choose to have the following open at startup:

In the drop-down menu, click Settings

Setting up the home page

In the settings, on the Basic tab, look at the Launch section.

When you launch Firefox, select - Show home page. Now enter a link to the page in one of three ways:

1 - copy in the usual way and paste the Yandex address into the address bar.

2 - click the Use current pages button and all open pages will become home pages. It's OK! You leave Yandex and delete the rest of the pages.

3 - click the Use bookmark button. Then all bookmarks will open - Favorites. Choose the one you need from them.

After you insert the address, you don’t need to look for additional buttons, just close the settings and that’s it. You can close the browser and re-launch to check the installation of the home page.

How to set Yandex as the start page in Opera

In order to find the Opera browser settings, in the upper left corner of the browser, click on the O (Opera) logo.

Go to Opera settings

In the settings, in the section On startup you need to set the switch to the position: Open a specific page or several pages.

Adding a home page

The Home Pages window opens.

In the Add a new page line, insert the address of the Yandex main page (or whatever you want).

By the way, if the desired page is currently open in the browser, then just click the “Use current pages” button, and all of them will become the initial ones. If any page turns out to be superfluous, hover your cursor over it - a cross will appear on the right, clicking on which will delete this page.

Press the button OK- the home page has been added! Now close the browser and launch it again to make sure the start page is installed.

How to Set Home Page in Internet Explorer

There is a lesson on the site - where to download to update and how to configure it. However, so that you don’t waste time searching for information, in this lesson I will show you how to make Yandex the start page in the IE browser

In the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

Setting up Yandex as the home page

On the General tab, in the Home page 1 field, insert the address of the page that you want to make the start page, for example, the main page of the Yandex search engine.
Switch switch 2 to the Start from home page position.

After that, click the Apply button 3 and OK 4.
That's it, the start page is installed. Close your browser and launch it again to check it.

Many people use Yandex and want to make Yandex their starting page automatically. This is correct, because less time is spent on manual transition. There are 3 options for returning the page. One of them is simpler, the other is more complicated, but not much.

Sometimes changing the page using the above method does not work. Then you need to configure your browser. Each browser has its own settings. That's why we'll look at how to make Yandex the start page for each individual browser.

Opera

In the left corner of the browser, look for the “Tools” button. By clicking on it, we get to the drop-down list. Find the “Settings” item in it. Go to "General Settings". Here we will see a window where we should find the “Basic” tab. Look for "At startup". Opposite it is a drop-down list. Select from it the item “Start from the home page”, and opposite the inscription “Home” write the address www.yandex.ru. Everything is ready, click “Ok”. Now you can restart your browser.

Mozilla Firefox

Click on the orange button with the inscription "Firefox" (look for it in the upper left corner), go to the "Settings" item. We immediately find ourselves in the tab that we need. Opposite the “When Firefox starts” checkbox, check “Show home page”. Opposite “Home page” we write www.yandex.ru. reload the browser.

Google Chrome

Click on the upper right button in the very corner of the Google Chrome browser. A new tab will open. Select "Settings", then "Manage Google Chrome". Next we need to select "Options". Go to “Basic” and on the “Home Page” find “Open this page”, check it. Then you need to enter the address http://www.yandex.ru. That's it, click the "Close" button.

As you can see, changing the start page is not difficult. In a similar way, you can make any website your start page. Have a good day!

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 address of the search engine, 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 the user does not trust various kinds of utilities, then you can go the other way and make the necessary changes manually. This will take a little longer, but the result will be the same.

So, the process of changing the start page in Chrome is quite simple, you just need to follow a few simple steps:

In the Opera browser, the start page is configured a little differently, but still there is nothing complicated about it.

If you need to change the start page in Firefox, you can do it like this:

How to make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer

The IE browser is used by a small number of users, but it is still worth telling how to change the start page to Yandex in it.

The start page in a browser is the tab, page or site on the Internet that opens first when you open your browser each time you launch it, or when you press the Home key.

Do you have a desire or need to work specifically with the Yandex search engine? The start page, which can be installed by a user of absolutely any level, will always open first when loading the browser program.

To achieve this, you can use one of the methods below. It is quite easy to install and assign Yandex as the starting page, and in this article we will look in detail at the options on how to do this.

It all depends on what browser you use, because the applications and settings algorithms for each program are different. But I wonder why there is no start page in the Yandex Browser itself?

The most universal and simplest way: type “www.ya.ru” in the address bar of your browser and wait for the web resource to load. In the upper left corner you can see the inscription “Make start”.

Click on it and you're done. From this moment you begin your work with the site “www.yandex.ru” or, more simply, with the Yandex search engine.

Installation using a free utility

Yandex itself provides us with a convenient and comfortable way to configure home pages in browsers using automatic utilities specially created for this.

When the download is complete, you should install a browser manager on your computer or laptop, and this smart utility will be able to monitor changes in the home page itself, even despite the actions of various malware.

The manager will be able to save you from such unpleasant surprises as Webalta and calculate so that only Yandex always remains as the starting point in your browser. But a manager cannot always overcome all obstacles. More on this later in the article.

The most common browsers used today are:

If you are a supporter of the classic default browser Internet Explorer, then the following algorithm helps you configure the Yandex start page.

Open Internet Explorer and click the icon "Settings"
in the upper right corner, which opens the window "Service" .

You can also call up this menu by simultaneously pressing the hotkey combination Alt +X.

Select from the drop-down menu "Browser Options" , or it can also be called "Browser Option" . Next, open the tab "Are common" .

In operating systems such as Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer is a built-in program.

But the installation is carried out in the same way as other versions of this browser for almost 20 years.

To make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11, you should complete the following steps:

In the upper right corner click "Settings" and choose "Browser Options" .
Enter links to home page addresses in the field. If, in addition to Yandex, other links are needed, then here we enter the addresses for them. There should be only one address on each line.

"Start from Home Page"

We confirm the actions by clicking on the button “ OK" .

After completing all the steps, our Internet Explorer will display Yandex as the first page when loading.

Installation in Microsoft Edge

For fans of Microsoft Edge, there is the following algorithm. To open settings in Microsoft Edge, click on the icon

The function will be displayed at the bottom of the page "View additional options" and enable the add-on "Show home page button" .

We enter the address we need “https://www.yandex.ru” into the text field in the same way as in the case of Internet Explorer.

We confirm our actions by pressing a button "Save" . When you restart the browser, Yandex will become the newly introduced home page.

Installation in Google Chrome

Google Chrome, the most popular browser according to independent surveys on the Internet, offers us the following method. In the browser we look for the icon "Settings"
and open it.

Finding the button "Appearance" . Enable the add-on "Show Home Button" .

In the query line "Enter web address" enter the required link: “https://www.yandex.ru/”. This completes the setup, because all user actions are immediately synchronized with your profile in the browser.

After completing all the manipulations when you restart Google Chrome, Yandex will be displayed when you press the button "Home" (image of a house).

But if you want Yandex to load completely automatically, then you should use a different installation option. To change you will need:

1 In the Google Chrome menu in the upper right corner, call the command "Settings" .

2 Looking for an item "Initial group" , where we put a tick (if it is not checked) "Next Pages" .

4 If you are a fan of Yandex, then here you can configure it as the “default” search engine. In chapter "Search" indicate the search engine Yandex.

5 Close settings. Confirm your actions by pressing a button "OK" no need, everything syncs instantly in this browser.

If you have configured your browser as described above, then when you turn on Google Chrome, the pages installed in the initial group (in our case, Yandex) will always open. "Settings" - "Basic" .

There we are looking for the line "When Firefox starts" and set the value "Show home page" . Accordingly, in the line "Homepage" enter the link “https://www.yandex.ru/”.

Like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox uses the hotkey combination Alt + Home to navigate to the home page.

Installation in Opera

Supporters of the Opera browser can use the following method: use the hotkey combination Alt + P to call up the menu.

Switch to "Browser" to section "At startup" . Next click on the link "Set Pages" and in the field "Add new page" enter the path “https://www.yandex.ru/”.

After all operations, confirm the actions by pressing the button "OK" and set the switch to position "Open home page" .

That's all the necessary steps to achieve our goal - to make Yandex Search the home page in the Opera browser.

After following all the instructions, the browser will automatically open the search engine when launched.

The start site is the one that opens first by default when the search engine starts, or when you press “Home” or a certain key combination. This function is needed for ease of use and quick start in the browser. As a rule, the start page is set by the program manufacturer - this is a common search or messaging system, the manufacturer's website, or a panel that gives quick access to several resources.

We will tell you how to install, change or delete the home page in different browsers

In almost all browsers you can edit the start bar or page. The user does this for himself to make it more convenient to work. For example, he can set another search engine, email service, news or weather site, etc. to launch by default. In this case, the procedure for changing the starting resource depends on the specific program.

In addition, when downloading files, the user often forgets to uncheck the boxes in which the program offers to set its resource as default. Often these services have poor functionality or even harm the computer, and it is impossible to get rid of them in the usual way. There is a universal way to remove an intrusive start tab.

Google Chrome is the most popular search engine in most countries of the world, however, not all users know how to change its initial resource. This is done through the browser settings - you can change the settings so that Google launches a specific tab (possibly several) when you start working.

Setting up a home resource through a search engine:

Click on the Chrome menu, go to “Settings” - a new tab will open in the browser.
Select the Show Home Button option found in the Appearance menu.
On the left side relative to the search bar there will now be a button with a house symbol, which is needed to quickly return to the “Home Page”.
Click “Change”, set the start page with which it is convenient for you to start working in the browser.
A window will open where the current page is entered, which is launched by default, and you need to indicate the desired site in the field.
Insert the website address into the box so that it is counted as the starting website.
You can also click on the “Quick Access Page” option, which is needed to use Google search and access several favorite sites.
Save your progress, then check the functionality - the resource specified earlier should start.

Setting up is very easy

Configuration via startup actions. Unlike the previous method, this one will help you open not only the default resource when you launch Google Chrome, but also one or more specially designated ones. Setting algorithm:

Click “Menu” in Chrome, go to “Settings”.
In the “Open at startup” item, activate one of the options: “Open a new tab” (search bar and bookmarks), “Open previously opened tabs” (closed when the last work session ended, including accidentally) or “Open specified pages” ( you can specify one or more).
When selecting the latter, click “Add”, then enter or copy links to resources in the window (it is not recommended to add a lot if you are using a weak computer, and also to use the function for someone else - this will violate confidentiality).
It is possible to open current tabs at startup - this way you won’t have to copy links to resources.
Save the changes by clicking “OK” and check if everything works.

You can choose which pages the browser will load on startup

Unlike other browsers, in the version of Google Chrome for mobile devices you cannot set a default resource or assign tabs that will open at startup. However, if you do not close certain sites, they will appear the next time you use the search engine. In addition, if you close all tabs before turning off the program, then when you start it again, the main window will open with a search bar and a panel of frequently used resources.

Opera

The process of setting up a home page in Opera is almost no different from Google:

Click “Menu”, then select “Settings”, then “General settings”.
Click on the “Basic” tab.
In the On Startup option, click Start from Home Page.
In order to install the starting resource itself, enter the site address or click “Current page” if the desired one is already open.
Save your settings.

When you launch Opera Mini, a panel appears by default, displaying bookmarks that are popular with the user.

The procedure is similar to the previous viewer

Yandex

The Yandex browser is made on the same engine as Google Chrome, so they are similar in many ways. The same goes for the controls - the developers have made some differences, but it is still similar.

In Yandex, there is no way to set an arbitrary site as your home site. Perhaps this was done to ensure that users used only services from this developer, and did not set other search engines and resources as their start page. However, Yandex offers 3 convenient options:

“Open quick access page” - when you start the browser, a tab will appear with a search bar and a resource panel, the location of which depends on how often the user opens them. You can remove unnecessary ones and add desired ones, as well as move cells.
“Restore tabs opened last time” - this will restore the last working session. Convenient for those who always leave the same resources open, for example, mail, weather forecast or news.
“Open Yandex if there are no tabs” - an option that will send the user to the main resource of the search engine if all resources were closed before turning it off. In this case, Yandex itself will act as home.

In this case there is less variability

Safari

Changing the start page in this browser is no more difficult than in others:

Open the site you want to see as default on startup.
Click on Safari Menu.
In the drop-down menu, click “Settings”, then “General”.
To set an open resource as the starting resource, click “Set current page”.
If you want to make another resource home, then enter or copy its address in the box.
Save the settings and check if they work.

The Apple browser has similar functionality

Mozilla Firefox

The procedure for installing the start page through a browser on a computer:

Open the site that should become the starting site.
Click “Menu” - “Settings”.
In the “General” section, find the item “When Firefox starts” - “Show home page”.
Click “Use current page” or paste the link to the desired site into the special field if you have not opened the resource.
You can also click on “Use bookmark” - a window will appear in which you can specify one of the desired resources.

The configuration will not cause any difficulties for the user

Installation on phone:

By default, on mobile devices, the starting tab is the tab with the panel of the most popular resources. To open the start page, click “Menu”, then “Bookmarks” - “Home Page”.
Pin your site to it. To do this, you need to press and hold it. In the menu that opens, select “Pin site” - now it will always be displayed on the main page.
To add a new bookmark to the panel, click and hold one of the unnecessary ones - a menu will appear in which you can select “Edit”, then set a new address (enter it or select from bookmarks).
Close your browser. Now if you switch to another program, it will be active in the background. To see the panel pinned the next time you start, click “Menu” - “Exit”.

Internet Explorer

How to install the start page:

Launch the resource that should be the starting resource or paste its address into the search bar.
Click “Tools” - “Internet Options” (gear icon in the upper right corner).
Click "Current" to make the currently running tab the starting tab.
To make Explorer open several sites when starting, enter links to them in the appropriate box (you need to make sure that each is written on a separate line).
To open a simple Explorer tab on startup, select Blank.

On mobile devices there is a bookmarks bar where you can add the sites you want.

What to do if you can’t install the start page

Some users have a question about how to change the start page in Google Chrome or another browser if the usual setting does not help - nothing happens or the intrusive tab returns to its place (after restarting the browser or computer).

Most often, the cause is services like Webalta or Amigo, which end up on the computer as a virus. The PC may also be infected with malicious code, or a program may have been installed on it that forcibly changes the home page.

First of all, you can reset your browser version or settings. This will save all passwords and bookmarks, but applications and extensions will be removed.

You can also selectively remove add-ons that may be viral. These include Babylon - a translation program that changes the resource that opens by default, as well as some other settings, and then does not allow them to be edited. To uninstall Babylon in Windows, click “Control Panel” - “Uninstall a Program”. Find this application and click "Uninstall". Do the same with Babylon add-ons, such as Toolbar, Browser Protection and others. To uninstall an application on Mac OS, find it in Applications. Place it in the “Trash” and then empty the latter.

If this does not help, then download a virus removal program, for example, AdwCleaner and activate it. In some cases, the reason why a tab won't change is deep within the system.

Sometimes only special cleaning utilities can help

Methods that only work on Windows with any browser

Editing properties:

Right-click on the search engine shortcut and select “Properties”.
In the “Shortcut” tab, find “Object”.
Remove the quotation marks and website address if there are any, and leave the rest.
Do this for all browser shortcuts on the system.
When you continue to use the browser, respond more carefully to notifications during installation and do not skip the points where they suggest installing a search engine or start page - click “No”.

Editing hosts

Find the file C: - Windows - System32 - drivers - ets - hosts.
Open it as a text document, click “edit” and delete all the contents of the file.
Remove all old browser shortcuts and install new ones.

The specified file should be opened in a text editor to edit

Bottom line

The starting resource is needed to make it more convenient to start working with the browser. Different search engines offer different solutions for this.
