Bookmarks in the Yandex browser, like any other, are a user-saved link to an article, which includes:
- Internet page address;
- Page title;
- A small site icon (favicon).
For convenience, bookmarks are accessed from the browser interface. The browser itself stores all user information on the computer () in a special profile folder. Bookmarks themselves are stored in the file " Bookmarks».
All browsers (including Chrome, FifeFox and Opera) use the following system - bookmarks are directly accessed from the browser interface, and the file " Bookmarks" is used to transfer them to another browser or in cases of reinstallation.
Viewing bookmarks in the browser interface

Where Yandex Browser stores bookmarks. Bookmarks File
The bookmarks file can be accessed in two ways: through a program shortcut or directly through Explorer. First, let's look at a quick way to find them - using a shortcut.

I have indicated all the possible ways to find bookmarks in Yandex Browser. I also recommend that you read the article about how or vice versa in Yandex.
In some cases, you have to save your Internet browser bookmarks.
It is worth noting that when installing the latest version of the operating system, you have to save every bookmark.
Some users prefer to make a backup copy to protect information. However, when faced with this problem, you should take action and perform actions strictly according to the specified requirements. Therefore, in this article, professionals share their recommendations and teach beginners how to save bookmarks correctly.
In the event of an emergency, experts recommend using a flash drive or cloud. After all, in this way, you can restore personal data.
Users often complain that the operating system is buggy and does not allow them to work on the computer. After installing or changing a device, you may lose important information. Therefore, this article will discuss the process of saving bookmarks.
How to export bookmarks
Multi-million users have been accumulating bookmarks for several years. Since they will be needed in future use. To complete the process of saving bookmarks, you need to follow these simple steps.
Any computer user can handle this task. The Yandex browser has a bookmark manager.
Here, accordingly, there is the “Arrange” option. By selecting “Export your bookmarks to an HTML file,” you can select and specify a specific address where the data, that is, bookmarks, will be saved.
Synchronization process with Yandex browser
The simplest and most convenient way is synchronization. In this case, users will no longer have to monitor the process of creating new copies. This service provides secure storage of necessary visual bookmarks and other important information, where personal data saved by the Yandex browser is stored.
When certain changes are made, the system registers the service automatically. After which the corresponding adjustment will take place.
Despite the fact that this service is very popular, it is necessary to use this system with special care. If you delete a visual bookmark by mistake, it will be impossible to restore the data in the future. Since they, in turn, are erased from the Yandex browser automatically. 
That is, the cloud no longer saves any bookmarks. To activate synchronization with the server, you will first have to launch the browser, then call up the control panel with a button where three white stripes will appear.
In the drop-down menu you will have to select the “Synchronization” option. In subsequent steps, the system will require you to enter your username and password for your Yandex account. By clicking on the “Enable” option, you can save your bookmarks on the Yandex browser server.
Using HTML format
The most trivial way is to use a standard interface. Thanks to this interface, you can create a special file in HTML format. Accordingly, in the future all kinds of documents are stored.
But it is worth emphasizing that visual bookmarks are not saved in this file. If necessary, you can later use this interface and view the necessary information that is stored in the Yandex browser.
Exporting data in HTML format is carried out as follows. First you need to launch the Yandex browser. An empty panel will open in front of you and right-click on the indicated item; bookmarks are also located here.
When you call up the context menu, you can find the “Bookmark Manager” option. By clicking on the “Arrange” button, the “Export to HTML” option will appear. After selecting a directory, you can save the file indicating the backup. You can use the following phrase, for example, “Copy my bookmarks.”
Many users add their favorite sites to browser bookmarks, others add them to the express panel. One way or another, we customize the browser to suit our needs. However, at any moment something irreparable can happen to the operating system or the program itself, and in order to fix the error, you will need to reinstall the software or even Windows. What to do in this case and how to save browser bookmarks when reinstalling Windows?
How to save bookmarks in the Google Chrome browser?
Why is Google Chrome so popular? Primarily due to the fact that it has such a function as data synchronization. If you have installed this browser, then when you first launch the program, you will be prompted to create an account. Once you have entered your contact information, you will receive many benefits, namely: mail to gmail, a free cloud for storing files and the ability to work in the Play Market. In this case, the software will ask you for permission to synchronize data. If you check the appropriate box, even if you reinstall the system or browser, entering your login and password will return all previously saved bookmarks and passwords. To find out how to set up synchronization, click on the link.
However, if you don't have data synchronization enabled and need to save your browser bookmarks and passwords, you should use the following tip.
Press “CtrI+Shift+O”. The Bookmark Manager tab will open. Click “Arrange” and select “Export bookmarks to HTML file” from the list of actions.
After reinstalling the system or the browser itself, press “CtrI+Shift+O” again, select “Arrange” and click “Import bookmarks from HTML file”.
Specify the path to the file and click “Open”.
Now all bookmarks and passwords will return to their original places.
Also, if you have the opportunity to boot from the installation disk, you should go to the address in the “C” drive, the “Users”, “Username”, “AppData”, “Local”, “Google” folders, and copy the “Chrome” folder .
This folder must be inserted into an identical folder, only on an already reinstalled operating system or after reinstalling the browser.
How to save bookmarks when reinstalling the Yandex browser?
First of all, we note that the process of saving bookmarks and password in this program is similar to the previous method. You can either set up synchronization, saving the information, or create a bookmarks file.
To synchronize data, launch the Yandex browser and click “Menu” and then “Synchronization”.
Enter your username and password and click “Enable synchronization.”
Then we select what exactly you want to be saved in the browser during synchronization.
You can also transfer saved bookmarks and passwords to your PC using the bookmarks file. To do this, click “Menu” and select “Bookmarks”, then “Bookmark Manager”.
In the new window, select “Arrange” and click “Export bookmarks to HTML file.”
Just like in Google Chrome, the browser folder can be transferred to a reinstalled OS. The Yandex folder is located at the address in drive “C”, folder “Users”, then “Username”, “AppData”, “Local”, “Yandex”.
How to save Opera browser bookmarks?
Saving bookmarks and passwords in the Opera browser is a simple but imperfect process. As in previous browsers, this is done using the synchronization settings or the bookmarks file.
Synchronization in Opera is located in the “Menu”.
Only after creating an account will all passwords and bookmarks be synchronized on any device.
As for the bookmarks file, in program versions from 28 to 33 you can create it by clicking “Menu”, “Other tools”, “Import bookmarks and settings”.
In the new window, select what you want to import. Save the file.
Afterwards, we also add bookmarks to the reinstalled browser. However, if you have an earlier version of the program, the bookmarks file needs to be copied from the software folder and pasted into a similar one. Paste address: drive “C”, folder “Users”, then “Username”, “AppData”, “Roaming”, “Opera Software”, “Opera Stable”.
