Quick page. We save the Yandex search engine to the start page. Manually setting up Yandex as the home page

Personally, until recently, I didn’t use it at all home page your browser. By default it was just there Google search and that's all. But the news that Google is closing iGoogle (the start page with news, widgets, etc.) raised a stir among users and I decided to find out if iGoogle has analogues and is it worth using them? It’s worth noting that you can find dozens of different start pages on the Internet. Therefore, we decided to concentrate on the most worthwhile of them and those that have the greatest functionality.

The main feature of Netvibes is its focus on your RSS. It has a bunch of widgets, including weather, news, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, stocks and others. There are also widgets for many popular sites, but if you don’t find your favorite site in their list, you can simply insert it into your page, the functionality allows this.

In our list, Netvibes gets the palm for customization. It has literally everything, from changing themes to its own RSS reader. There is only one drawback - if you cannot configure it correctly and in detail, you are unlikely to like it.

Protopage is very similar to Netvibes. You also have your own personal page, which you can customize as you wish, changing themes, number of bookmarks, etc. It has built-in widgets, but the emphasis is that you can create your own widgets by adding social networks, email to your page, or creating them from other web pages.

Unlike Netvibs, Protopage is easier to use. Widgets move very smoothly and are located where you inserted them. The only small problem is that the number of built-in widgets is small and you may easily not find the ones you need among them.

Symbaloo will delight fans of tiled interfaces with its design. Each widget in it is a separate square, when you click on it, it opens in the center of the screen. By clicking on the square with recipes, a window with a search bar will appear in the center of the screen, and by clicking on the encyclopedia widget, a Wikipedia search will open.

The interesting thing is that users can share the pages they create, so you can always find a cool template for yourself. There is also a separate news tab, by clicking on which you will receive a list of the latest news, which will be sorted by importance.

uStart is more tailored to perform social functions. There are widgets for your favorite RSS, Instagram, Twitter, notes and others. Also, it has a bunch of settings and you can customize each widget as you wish. And if you had an iGoogle or Netvibes account, you can even transfer your settings here.

This service has the largest number of widgets among its competitors, and the number of settings for each of them will shock you. However, its interface does not look very good, so it can be off-putting. In all other respects, the service is great!

My Yahoo

I put My Yahoo at the bottom not because it is bad, but because its usefulness to us is questionable. My Yahoo is definitely the most beautiful service of all those listed above, but it is the least tailored for Russian-speaking countries. For example, I couldn’t even find my city in the weather forecast!

In addition, the number of settings here is minimal and many will not like it. My Yahoo also has the ability to import from iGoogle, so switching from the latter will be absolutely painless. If you know English well and you are not bothered by poor integration with the Russian-language Internet, then you will like My Yahoo 100%.

It is difficult to say which service is the best, since each of them has both advantages and disadvantages. But you can decide which service will be the best for you. It will take you no more than 5 minutes to try each of them, so you will quickly choose your favorite.

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

Mozilla Firefox

Google Chrome

As you can see, changing the start page is not difficult. In a similar way you can do home page any site. Have a good day!

First, a few words for those who do not know or do not understand well what a browser is.

When you and I open the Internet, we launch for this special program. In it we search and read information (websites), check email, communicate on social networks.

There are several such programs for the Internet. Here are the most popular:

Most likely, you use one of them to browse the Internet. This very program is called a browser.

What is it start page? This is a site that loads immediately as soon as you open your browser.

You can assign any address to this site: favorite search engine, news, mail site, social network or something else.

Or, on the contrary, you can remove the address. It just happens that it is already configured in the program. Then, every time you open your browser, a website you don’t need automatically opens. You can generally make it so that no address will be opened.

So, to summarize:

Start or Homepage- this is some kind of site that opens immediately when you open the browser. You can specify its address yourself or remove it altogether.

For example, when I go to the Internet, that is, I open a browser, the Mail.ru website immediately loads for me. I didn’t set it up specifically - it always opened for me on its own. This very site is the start page of my browser.

If, when you open a browser, no site automatically loads, it means there is no start (home) page. This is normal - many people find it even more convenient. But others, on the contrary, need such a page.

For example, I start every time I go online by checking my email. This means that it would be more convenient for me to set the address of my email site as the home page. Then you wouldn’t have to open it manually every time - it would load itself.

Who set my start page

It often happens that we ourselves have not assigned anything, but the page still opens. It's like it was already set up.

Indeed, sometimes this happens: some browsers already have a start page. That is, a certain website is initially “sewn” into it, which will open every time the program is launched.

But it also happens differently: out of the blue a page began to pop up, although it wasn’t there before. That is, before, when the browser was launched, nothing would open, but then suddenly a website started loading.

This usually happens after a new program has been installed on the computer.

It happens like this. You have downloaded some program and are starting to install it. As a rule, to do this you need to click on the “Next” button several times. And at one of these stages it is written in small font that the start page will be replaced.

There will even be a bird installed there. By the way, you can remove it and then there will be no replacement, but who reads all this... It turns out that we sort of ourselves, of our own free will, assigned a new home page.

Another situation in which page substitution occurs is computer virus. But this is such an obvious replacement that it is simply impossible not to replace it.

How to make a start page

You can always change the start page: either assign the desired site yourself, or disable it altogether.

To do this, you just need to change one small setting in your browser. But, of course, each such program has its own setting. It is also worth considering that you can see the result only after the program is closed and reopened.

How to change the start page in Yandex browser

When you launch the Yandex browser, the main start page opens in the form of a Tableau on which the most visited pages are displayed or all the tabs that were open when the browser was last closed are immediately opened. You can set the Yandex browser settings to automatically start Tableau or open tabs. To do this, click on the three parallel stripes located in the upper right part of the browser.

In the Yandex browser, the start page can be set automatically through the settings

A context menu will open in which you select Settings. A window called Settings will open in your browser. In this window you need to find a paragraph Open when starting.
This paragraph contains two paragraphs and one subparagraph.

If you check the box Previously opened tabs then the next time you start it, the Yandex browser start page will open in the form of all the tabs that were not closed when the browser shut down.

If you check the box Open yandex.ru if there are no tabs then the next time you start the browser, all tabs that were not closed when the browser shut down will also open. But if all tabs are closed before closing the browser, then the next time you launch the browser, the Yandex home page will open at yandex.ru. Thus, you can set Yandex as the start page in your browser.
Possible in Yandex browser make the start page the page or several pages you need that will open the next time you start the browser. Setting up the Yandex browser start page begins with the fact that in the settings in the paragraph When starting to open, put a dot at the Tableau with your favorite sites item.

All these tabs must be pinned one by one. To do this, on the tab bar, hover the cursor over a tab and, by clicking the right mouse button, select from context menu item Pin tab. All pinned tabs will be located on the left side of the tab bar in the form of small favicons. After this, the next time you launch the browser, only your pinned tabs will open.

Video

This video shows how to set the Yandex browser start page.

Hello friends. Today, I will tell you how to change the start page in the Yandex browser in one interesting and, if I may say so, tricky way. The thing is that in the settings of this browser there is no way to specify the start page; the developers simply did not provide for this.

But let's go through it in order, perhaps other launch methods will also be useful to you.

Launch the Yandex browser and in the upper right corner click the button with 3 horizontal stripes, then select Settings.

In the window that appears, we need a block called “Open at startup” and its two options:

1) Scoreboard with favorite sites– when you start the browser, a window with site bookmarks will be displayed, the so-called quick access panel to sites.

2) Previously opened tabs– when you select this option, the tabs of the last session will be automatically opened when you start the browser. Here, if you wish, you can check the item Open www.yandex.ru if there are no tabs.

As you can see from the proposed options, there is no way to set the start page. But, especially for you friends, I figured out how to change the start page in the Yandex browser in one interesting way.

So, in your browser, go to the site or its page that you want to make your home page. After this, move your mouse cursor over open tab and right-click it, select Pin Tab.

Important point! For this method to work, you need to select the option in the “Open at startup” settings block - Board with favorite sites.

By the way, you can set several pages for them automatic start. To do this, you just need to pin the tabs you need.
