What needs to be done: by launching the Opera browser, we get to the page with the express panel. On some devices, the express panel needs to be opened with a swipe to the left.

Hello friends. Today I will show you how to make the Yandex site the start page of your browser. Despite the fact that it is not difficult to implement this feature, many novice Internet users do not know where and with the help of what it is done.
Most of the people who speak Russian use Yandex as a search engine. This search engine has a lot of advantages - it is a good quality of search results, and a pleasant appearance, and a large set of related services, and a convenient home page.
In general, the Yandex start page compares favorably with its main competitor Google in terms of information content. It is easy to get to all search engine services from the page, it is supplemented by various widgets and modules that provide quick reference information. In addition, these blocks can also be customized according to your wishes and preferences.
For example, I also use Yandex as the start page of my browsers. One of the widgets that I added to myself is a random aphorism, sometimes it is interesting to read something unusual. I also installed a module from Yandex.webmaster, checking fines and others.
I will show you how to add these blocks at the end of the article, but for now let's move on to.
Application for installing Yandex.ru home page
The easiest way to make Yandex your start page is to use an application developed by Yandex itself. You can download the application on this site - http://home.yandex.ru/
It automatically replaces the home page of all your browsers with the Yandex one. No haemorrhoids and manual settings are required.
If for some reason the application did not work or you don’t want to use it, then we can make the necessary settings manually in each browser separately. I'll show you how to do it.
Setting up the start page in Mozilla Firefox
I'll start with this browser, as I use it most often. The entire setup procedure for it will take 20 seconds. To do this, you need to open the browser itself. Further, in the upper right corner we find the "open menu" icon (in the current version it looks like three horizontal stripes). Click on this button and in the drop-down menu we are looking for an icon in the form of a gear - these are settings.
There are many sections in the settings menu, the very first of which is "Basic" (looks like a light switch). This section contains what we need. In the line “When Firefox starts”, select “Show home page”. In the line "Home page" you need to enter the address of the site that we want to make the starting one (in our case, http://yandex.ru). Press the "OK" button and that's it - the operation is complete.
Installing Yandex with the start page in Google Chrome
Setting up your home page in Google Chrome is just as easy. We open the browser, in the same upper right corner we are looking for a button in the form of three horizontal lines with the name “Configuring and managing Google Chrome”. In the drop-down menu that appears on the screen when you press the button, we find the "Settings" item and go to the corresponding section.
On this page we are looking for the "Appearance" section, put a tick in front of the item - Show the "Home page" button. In order to set or change the address of the main page on Yandex, you need to click on the "Change" link and, in the window that opens, specify the address you need.
How to put the start page in Internet Explorer
As in all previous cases, setting up the home page in the Internet Explorer browser is very simple. We open the program, in the upper right corner we find the icon in the form of a gear and in the drop-down list select "Browser properties".
In the properties of the browser, the "General" tab will open and at the very top of this tab there is a field for start pages. In the window we enter the address - http://yandex.ru, put a full stop opposite “Start from home page” and press the “Apply” button. If you need to set a different start page, then repeat the procedure by specifying a different address in the window.
How to make Yandex your start page in Opera
Moving on to one of the most popular browsers. The Opera has a lot of fans and it would not hurt them to know about the settings of their favorite web browser. To configure, run the program, enter the browser menu (the button labeled Opera and the big red letter O in the upper left corner) and select "Settings" in this menu. You can make the transition to the settings a little faster using the hotkeys Alt + P.
The second item in the settings menu is "At startup". At this point, we need to select the following option - "Open a specific page or several pages." In order to specify a specific address for opening, click on the "Set pages" link. In the window that appears, indicate the address of the site that should open when the browser starts.
Start page in Yandex browser - change by trick
Frankly, I do not use this browser, since my experiment showed that it works much slower than competitors (I wrote about this), and in appearance the Yandex browser does not differ from Google Chrome. But for this article, I installed it and am doing an overview along with other popular programs for the Internet.
Despite the fact that Yandex browser is based on the Chrome engine, it does not allow you to create a start page using standard methods. It allows you to either show the start page with bookmarks, or open the tabs left over from the last time and, only if they are not there, automatically loads the Yandex search engine (without the ability to choose another).
There is a way to customize the start site by manually modifying the browser files, but I would not advise unprepared people to climb there.
We'll go the other way - apply a little trick, which will make any site a home page.
For it to work, we need to do the following:
1. Configure the display of the quick access page upon opening
We open the program, in the upper right corner we find the button "Yandex browser settings" (three horizontal stripes). In the drop-down menu, select the "Settings" item.
The first thing that is written in this paragraph, "Where to start?" Everything is saved here automatically, you do not need to press a button.
2. Set up the start page of the Yandex browser
We open the site that we want to make the home page (yandex.ru). Right-click on the tab of this site in the top panel of the Yandex browser. In the drop-down menu, click "pin tab".
That's all. Now, every time you open the browser, the tab that you pinned will open.
If you want to remove the home page, you can also right-click and select "unpin tab". To install a new page, repeat the entire procedure described in this section.
Customizing the Yandex page
Not everyone knows that you can customize the home page of this search engine for yourself. Now you will know it, and hopefully use it.
This setting is done in 2 steps.
Step 1. Yandex account
You need to create an account with this search engine. This is done by opening a mailbox. The mailbox address will be your login for all services, and the password, respectively, will be your password.
All our settings will take effect only when we are authorized in the system.
Now you can go to the settings.
Step 2. Settings
There are several sections.
"Put the topic"- the name corresponds to the function being performed - you can apply the unique design of the Yandex website by choosing the appropriate one from dozens of possible options.
"Add widget"- this is the function that I talked about at the beginning. an information block that you can place on your page. There are a lot of widget options.
"Configure Yandex"- this item allows you to move the widgets you use across the page, placing them as you like.
"Change city"- most often, the search engine automatically detects the region in which you entered the Internet, but this is not always convenient (
The start page is the pages that are automatically opened when the browser starts. The main page is the page that opens when you click on the button located directly in front of the address bar.
How to change the start page in Yandex browser
When you start the Yandex browser, the main start page opens in the form of a Scoreboard, which displays the most visited pages or immediately opens all the tabs that were opened when the browser was last closed. It is possible in the Yandex browser settings to make the start automatically Scoreboard or unclosed 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 installed automatically through the settings
A context menu will open in which you select the Settings item. The browser will open a window called Settings. In this window you need to find a paragraph Open at startup.
This paragraph has two clauses and one subclause.
How to put Yandex as a start page If you put a full stop at the point Scoreboard with your favorite sites then the next time you launch the Yandex browser, the start page will open in the form of a scoreboard in which the most frequently viewed pages will be displayed.
How to return the Yandex start page If you check the box next to Previously opened tabs then the next start will open the start page of the Yandex browser in the form of all tabs that were not closed when the browser was closed.
How to make Yandex your start page automatically If you check the box next to 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 was 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 main page at yandex.ru will open. Thus, in the browser, you can install Yandex as the start page.
You can make the page you need as the start page in the Yandex browser or several pages that will open the next time you start the browser. Setting up the start page of Yandex browser begins with the fact that in the settings in the paragraph When starting to open, put a full stop at the item Scoreboard with your favorite sites. After that, in the browser, open several tabs with pages that will have to open each time you start the browser.
How to install Yandex home page All of these tabs must be pinned in turn. To do this, on the tab bar, move the cursor over the tab and by pressing the right mouse button select the Pin Tab item from the context menu. All pinned tabs will appear on the left side of the tab bar in the form of small favicons. After that, the next time you launch the browser, only your pinned tabs will open.
How to open the Yandex home page
To be able to open the page in the Yandex home browser, the button must be displayed in front of the address bar. If the button is not displayed, then you will need to open the browser settings and find the paragraph Appearance settings in them.
If you want to make Yandex your home page, you've come to the right address. To solve the problem, it remains only to go to the section with instructions on replacing the home page of the Internet browser used on the computer and follow the steps presented in the article.
The home page is the page that is opened by default (when the browser is launched). As a rule, this is e-mail, the last page opened before exiting the browser, or even an express panel with links to frequently visited or selected by the user Internet resources.
You can make Yandex your start page directly from the search engine's web page
Despite the popularity of the Google search engine, many countries (China, Russia and some Eastern European) prefer their own search engines, due to their tailoring for national sites. So Yandex became the most popular and efficient search engine in the Russian-language segment of the global network. In numerous tests, it takes the first place in terms of the accuracy of the results of the selection of information among Russian-language sites.
Therefore, it makes sense to use it as the default search engine and set it as the start page. Moreover, in addition to the search engine, the Yandex.ru site displays the latest news from the region, the weather in the city, posters and other useful information.
It is quite easy to make Yandex the main page of a search engine in an Internet browser. The main thing is to perform the replacement operation manually, because numerous software, as it were, developed to solve this problem, will easily add to the hassle of eliminating the consequences of its activity. The problem that users face in this case is the inability to specify the address of the start page due to the activity of a malicious program.
These applications replace the link to the home site with a link of your own, leading to a resource with advertisements, prohibited content, or malware. A utility for detecting and removing malware will come to the rescue here. The best solution in this case is to use the functionality of a domestic developer's utility called AVZ.

A convenient method for replacing and controlling the start page in all Internet browsers is to use the functionality of the utilities provided by the search giant.
One of these applications is loaded on the home.yandex.ru page. We go to the specified address from the browser, where we plan to replace the address of the start page, download the application and install it, following the instructions of the installer.
Replacing the start page using the appThe second program is downloaded from http://bm.yandex.ru and has a different purpose. It replaces the original site's address with its own and prevents third-party applications from changing it, which makes the computer invulnerable to the influence of services such as Webalta.
Solving problems with automatic opening of other search engines
As mentioned above, the problem that users face when replacing the start page is the inability to enter its address. The most common problem is the launch of the site http://webalta.ru/ - a Russian search engine promoted by setting its own page as the home page without the permission and notification of the user. Moreover, such an action is performed in all browsers without exception.
The issue is resolved by removing unnecessary shortcut settings for starting the program and cleaning the registry from its contents.
- We call the "Properties" of the browser shortcut, when launched, the Webalta website, Conduit Search, Pirrit Suggestor and other search services appear.
- We delete everything related to these sites after the name of the executable file (see screenshot) and click "Ok".
