Starting work 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 configure this area of the program. To enhance your browsing experience, you can easily set a specific website as your home screen. Many users on the Web are worried about a completely fair question: “How to make your 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, it is impossible to fully configure such an important parameter as the home page in Yandex Browser. Instead, the developers of this network browser offer us to make a choice from two possible options, but first things first. By default, when the program starts, the main page of the yandex.ru site is loaded, and if any other tabs were opened during the previous session, they are automatically restored. You can change the initial script of your browser using the corresponding section of the program. To do this, 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 only choose two options:
- Board 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, the 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 alternatives yet.
Conclusion
Since it is impossible to completely change the start page in Yandex Browser, this feature served as a weighty reason for criticizing this product. Many users believe that the ability to set any website as the home screen of a web browser is an integral part of it. However, Yandex has a different opinion, which is most likely due to a rather aggressive promotion of its own services on the market. One way or another, let's hope that the developers will listen to the wishes of users and add this missing feature to their product in the new version of Yandex Browser.
Hello. To view pages on the Internet, we use special programs - browsers. There are several of them today. But the main and popular ones are Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Yandex Browser, Microsoft Edge. By the nature of our activity, the first thing we do when entering the Internet is to open a specific site on our subject. A politician - a newsman, a financier - opens a portal with the latest data on the financial market, a lawyer - monitors the latest innovations in the legislative framework, an athlete - tracks sports news. Young people in the majority immediately go to social networks. In a word, everyone starts the day with useful information for themselves.
Over time, everyone determines for himself one resource that is most useful for him, where he constantly visits. Most people, when they first launch a browser, enter a website address on their own that contains useful information for them.
Today we will set the most useful site as the home page. That is, when you open the browser, a site with useful content will automatically load. How to do it? Now for beginners and tell.
How to set the home page in the browser? So, let's start, as always, with the most popular today - Google Chrome.
Setting the start page or pages in Google Chrome
Let's take as an example the website of the Vesti program (vesti.ru) with the latest news in various areas of activity.
Open our browser, go to the Main menu and select the Settings item.
On the new Settings tab, select the settings group " Open on startup»
The default was set to "New Tab" in the form of visual bookmarks. How to install them, read our article "". We need to choose the third option - Specified Pages. Select this item and click on the link Add.
In the pop-up window in the field, enter our address of the website of the Vesti program. The address is immediately added and a new field for entering the address appears below. Thus, you can add some of your most visited sites, which will automatically open when you start your browser.
If you want to add all open tabs at the time you are in Settings in the starting run, press .
To remove a page from the list, select it and click on the cross. After all pages are added, click OK.
Everything, the start pages have been successfully added. To check, close the browser and start again. The browser automatically opens the specified pages at startup.
Setting the Home Page in Mozilla Firefox
Similarly, you can set the home page in the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Go to Main menu and press the item "Settings".
On the settings tab "Basic" indicate the address we need
And although additional fields for entering pages do not appear here, you can still add several pages. How to do it? To do this, first open the necessary pages that you want to open when the browser starts, in different tabs, then go here, to Settings and click " Use Current Pages».
You can also add a page from your browser bookmarks to the start. To do this, just press Use bookmark. Next, in the bookmarks window, select the desired bookmark.
We restart the browser.
Home page in Opera
Setting the home page or pages in the Opera browser is almost the same as in Google Chrome. We go to Main menu, select the item Settings
You can use the keyboard shortcut Alt + P to get to Settings faster.
Everything else is familiar to us. In the “At startup” settings group, set the item “Open a specific page or several pages”, then click “Set page” and in the pop-up window specify the address of the desired page or pages. Exactly the same as in Google Chrome. After adding pages, click OK. Restart the Opera browser.
Start page in Yandex Browser
Yandex Browser is different from all of the above. It does not have the ability to install any other page other than the main page of Yandex. You can verify this by going to Settings.
Here they only offer to open a quick access page or open those tabs that were open at the time the browser was last closed. If there is nothing to restore (there will be no tabs), then the browser will open the default start page - yandex.ru
Launching homepages in the Microsoft Edge browser
With the release of the new version of Windows 10, a new Microsoft Edge browser has appeared, which is included in this version of the operating system. This browser also has the ability to add pages for the first launch of the browser. To do this, open the menu Additionally", then point" Options»
In the "Open with" parameter group, set the "Specific page" parameter, specify the page to be added in the empty input field and press the plus button. After clicking on the “+”, the page is added and a new input field opens. Thus, you can add as many pages as you need to start the browser.
That's all for today. We have seen how to set the home page in various browsers. Thank you for your attention. See you again.
Life is what happens to us while we make plans for the future.
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 start your favorite browser? No problem. In this article, we will look at ways to change the home page in all popular browsers in manual and automatic mode.
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 together with a web browser:
- webalta.ru;
- bing.com;
- hi.ru.
You can read the detailed instructions for removing 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 of downloading the program from the official site).
To install Yandex as such, do the following:
1. Open Mazila and go to settings.
2. In the "General" section, select "Show home page" and enter its address below - 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 "Options" and go to the "General" tab.
2. In the "Home" section, select "Set Home Page".
3. In the pop-up window, enter the address of the search engine and click "Ok".
To make sure that the actions performed are correct, you can simply restart the browser.
We make Yandex the start page in Google Chrome 63.00 and higher.
The Chrome browser from the well-known 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 is opened.
You can change the start page on Yandex manually through the settings.
1. Open Google Chrome settings.
2. Find the "Launch Chrome" section and select "Specified Pages".
Be careful, the list may already contain addresses of other sites and when you start the browser, in addition to Yandex, additional tabs will open. You can avoid this situation by leaving no more than one address in the list.
3. Click "Add page" and in the window that opens, enter "yandex.ru".
Everything. If you have followed the sequence of actions correctly, when you start Chrome again, the Yandex home page will automatically open.
Mobile Chrome
Setting Yandex as the home page in your Chrome mobile browser is not much different from its "web" version.
1. Open the browser, go to the settings section and select "Home".
2. By default, most users already have this feature enabled, but many smartphone manufacturers set their sites and services as home (as in my example).
We only need to change the address of the preinstalled page to Yandex.ru.
Setting Yandex as a home page in Yandex browser
It seems that for users of Yandex Browser there should not be a problem in 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 using simple steps.
1. Open the Ya.Browser settings and find the "Open at startup" section.
2. Change the preset settings as shown in the screenshot.
When you finish working with the browser, close all active tabs and the next time you open the Yandex.ru main page.
Setting up the homepage 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 the Opera settings, "General" section.
2. In the "At startup" tab, select the "Open a specific page or multiple pages" checkbox and click "Set Pages".
Do not include many pages in the list - this may cause a short "freeze" of the operating system when opening Opera, with poor performance of your computer.
You do not need to save anything, the changes you made 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 homepage in Microsoft Edge
The most massive, 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 available in a few mouse clicks.
1. Open the Edge browser and go to Settings.
2. In the tab indicated in the picture, select the "Specific page or pages" item. 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 bundled Internet Explorer, but they are performed in the same way.
Install 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 automatically sets the Yandex home page as a start page.
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 analogues of the extension for mobile devices.
Possible problems
Right-click on the browser icon and select "Properties", go to the "Shortcut" section and delete all unnecessary inscriptions without touching the direct path to the file.
This action will help temporarily solve the problem, since the virus may replace the start page again at the next system start. To remove it, follow the link mentioned at the beginning of the article.
Conclusion
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in changing the start page in the browser. The developers took care of the availability of this function in a few clicks, and Yandex itself allows this operation to be carried out automatically.
The procedure described by me is relevant for the following versions of browsers and does not depend on the installed version of windows:
- Mozilla FireFox - 54.0 and above;
- Google Chrome - 63.00 and above;
- Yandex browser 17.00 and above;
- Opera 50.00 and above.

Video: make Yandex your home page
As you can see, through simple combinations, subject to a careful search for all the necessary options, installing the Yandex start page is a very exciting experience. Now you can quickly find the information you need or go to use programs and options.
For many Internet users, everything that is needed at the first start is located on one page of the main Runet service - Yandex. We will tell you how to make Yandex the start page so that it opens immediately when the browser starts.
It is convenient to start working with the launch of a site such as Yandex. It has news, and exchange rates, and weather, and access to mail, and many other services. You can configure browsers so that Yandex will automatically open when the browser starts. Consider some of the most popular modern browsers in which you can install the Yandex start page.
Internet Explorer
If you use the standard Windows browser InternetExplorer, then you need to make Yandex the start page in the startup section. To do this, open your browser settings.
In the upper right corner is the settings icon with a gear icon. Click on it and select "Internet Options".
In the menu that opens with several tabs, select the "General" tab and enter the address in it: http://yandex.ru. Press the "Apply" button at the bottom of the menu. That's it, now, when launching the browser, you will automatically open Yandex.
You can enter other start pages that will open at startup. Each of them must be written on a new line. The first page to open will be the one on the topmost line.
GoogleChrome
Google Chrome users must open the Settings menu (as shown in the figure) or enter chrome:settings in the address bar for this operation.
The settings page will open in front of you, where you can see the "Initial group" item. It is responsible for the pages that the browser opens at the beginning of work.
Select the last item - "Next Pages", click the blue link "Add". In the pop-up window, enter yandex.ru and click OK.
Restart your browser. From now on, it will redirect you to the Yandex home page "from the doorway". You can add other pages in the same way. Then, when you start Chrome, it will open several tabs at once. The first one will be the one you added first, so start with Yandex.
Mozilla Firefox
For the Firefox browser, you need to click on the settings icon at the bottom of the default empty page.
If all you need from Yandex is a search, then in the Russified version of the browser it is already installed on an empty page. If you still want to install Yandex as the start page, then open the settings and on the first open tab, enter the address yandex.ru in the line of the start page.
Everything, now Yandex is the main page of your Firefox.
By the way, if you actively use Yandex services, it would be better to immediately download a localized version of this browser with built-in Yandex search and other integrated services. The version is localized officially, so you don't have to take any additional steps.
Yandex browser
Finally, the most uncompromising option is to install Yandex.Browser and make Yandex the start page automatically. Naturally, your own project, without any additional settings, will show you the Yandex home page at the first start.
This is more than convenient if you use not only Yandex news and search, but also maps, the market, online music and other services. Perhaps, for users who actively work with Yandex services, this is really the best option.
Other browsers
Similarly, automatic loading of Yandex at startup is configured on other browsers: Safari, Opera, and other, more exotic options. The general algorithm for making Yandex a home page is as follows:
- Go to browser settings
- Find the "Home Page" or "Home Group" section
- Register there yandex.ru
- Restart browser
Questions
Do I need to abandon other start pages of your browser for the sake of Yandex?
No, it doesn `t need. You can enter several pages at once into the start group, and each will open in its own tab. For convenience, you can register Yandex as the first page in all groups.
Will yandex.ru be opened?
Not necessary. Perhaps for your country it will be a local version of Yandex (for example, for Ukraine - yandex.ua). But this will affect authorization, search and use of services only in the best sense.
Is it possible to make Yandex the main page in a similar way on mobile devices?
Yes, you certainly may. Today, mobile browsers are as functional as desktop ones. A special version of Yandex will be displayed in the mobile browser, but this is also only good.
