Greetings everyone! Today’s article will be useful to all Internet users who want to make Yandex their home page. As a rule, this setup is quite easy to do, but as practice shows, many users do not know where to register the address and how to do it correctly. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss in detail how to set up the start page in browsers: , Opera, Mozilla Firefox And Internet Explorer.

I would like to draw your attention to what to configure home page in the browser, only the presence of malicious software can interfere software. This happens in cases where you seem to have set the start page, and the Webalta or Pirrit Suggestor search is loaded into the location you need. We will consider a way out of this situation at the end of the article.

We configure Yandex as the home page manually.

It is possible to make Yandex the start page either manually, by changing browser settings, or in automatic mode, using special programs. First, we will look at how to make the settings manually; this method is good because you and I will not have to install additional programs, and at the end of the article we will consider a method for the lazy.

Make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer

I suggest that the first thing on the list to consider is setting up the Internet Explorer browser. Since, firstly, it is on all computers with operating Windows system, and secondly, setting up the initial page is done the same in all versions of IExplorer.

To set the home page of the Yandex search engine, take the following steps:

That's it, the stage of setting up the home page for Internet Explorer is complete. Now, as soon as you launch the browser, the search engine will open.

Setting up the home page in the Opera browser.

In , making Yandex the start page is also not difficult. To do this we do the following:

  1. We go to the menu by clicking on the corresponding button in the upper left corner;
  2. In the list that appears, select “Settings”;
  3. The settings window will open, we are interested in the “Basic” tab;
  4. In the very first item “Specify what the browser should do at startup” in the “At startup” field, select “Open a specific page or several pages”;
  5. Click the “Set pages and register” “Yandex.ru” button;
  6. To save the settings, click the “Ok” button.

Now you can restart the browser and see which page loads at startup.

In Google Chrome we set the Yandex start page.

If you are a browser fan Google Chrome, but at the same time you remain a patriot and use the Yandex search engine, then to set up the home page we do the following:


Now when working in Chrome browser, if you quickly want to go to the search engine, just click on the icon in the form of a house.

Pay attention! With this setup method, Yandex will not open as the start page.

If you want exactly the start page, then we do it a little differently:


Now, when you launch your browser, you can immediately type a search query in Yandex.

Make Yandex the start page in Mozilla Firefox.

In the Mazil browser, everything is done in a similar way. Follow these steps to set up your home page:


Now Firefox browser will load the Yandex start page. As you can see, all the settings are simple, but users are often afraid or don’t know what to do.

How to make Yandex the start page automatically.

If for some reason you cannot manually set the Yandex home page, then you can do this automatically. Fortunately, the tool is provided by the search engine itself.

In the first case, you need to go to the address: home.yandex.ru and click on the “Download” button, and then follow the simple instructions that will be displayed on the monitor screen.

The second option is to install a utility called “Browser Manager”, also an invention of the Russian search giant. You can download it from the link: yandex.ru/soft/bm

This manager is good because it automatically controls the change of the home page and warns the user about changes. This will help you protect your computer from search engines like Webalta and similar ones.

If instead of Yandex, Webalta, Pirrit Suggestor and others open everywhere.

Very often, the user encounters a problem when, after installing the desired initial page, something completely different from what he would like opens, for example, the Webalta search engine. This happens when malicious code runs on your computer and writes its settings to browsers. As a rule, getting rid of this problem is not always easy.

The first thing you need to check is to open the desktop shortcut property. To do this, click on the browser shortcut right click mouse and in the window that opens look at the “Object” field.

Almost all Internet browsers have the ability to make your favorite site the start page, except...except for the Yandex browser.

Yes, indeed, in the modern browser from the Yandex search engine there is no function for setting up the start or home page. However, as always, I tried to deal with this problem and found a way out of the situation.

And I found it. The fact is that on each new tab it displays a display of visual bookmarks, which consist of frequently visited sites. All we have to do is configure the browser in such a way that at startup this board will launch, on which only one or several favorite sites will be displayed.

And so, let's go...

Opening new tab and delete all unnecessary bookmarks (visual ones, I mean). In order to delete a bookmark, simply hover over it with the mouse and click on the cross:

We leave only a few favorite sites or one. If the site you want to see is not on the start page, you can add it there. To do this, simply click on the “Add” button of the same name. Let's look at the screenshot:

We enter the site address, I enter the Google search engine, and click on the “Finish” button:

This is what I got now:

Now we just have to make sure that this page starts at the start.

Click on the menu button in the upper right corner and select “Settings” from the drop-down list:

We open the settings in a separate tab. At the very beginning of this page we find the phrase “Open at startup” and set the switch to the “New tab” position.

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 to launch them automatically. To do this, you just need to pin the tabs you need.

Setting Yandex as the main page means loading a web resource every time you start the browser. In practice, this gives quick access to the popular search engine and its related products. You don’t have to manually launch the page with the search engine, because the web browser will turn on automatically. Installation methods and possible problems with replacement of the start page are discussed below.

If Yandex is home search page in the browser, it opens every time the web browser is launched. The required tab will also appear if you click on the “Home” key, which can be called up with the combination Alt+Home or Ctrl+Space.

You can set absolutely any site as the initial page. Users often put:

  • popular social networks;
  • email services;
  • sites with lists of required pages;
  • news feeds;
  • search engines;
  • translators and so on.

One of best solutions is to install Yandex instead of the current home page, since the user will be able to immediately find any information through the search engine. The company’s main domain also has quick links to email, displays the weather, current news with the ability to personalize the results. It’s difficult to find such a set of features on another service.

Automatic method

There is one method that allows you to install Yandex as the main page automatically for free. The user needs to install a suitable extension that will do everything without human intervention.

Algorithm of actions:

  1. Go to the “Start - Yandex” extension.
  2. Click on “Install” and confirm the start of the installation.
  3. After installation is complete, wait 20 seconds and restart the browser.

By the way! A similar extension is available in the Mozilla Firefox store here.

How to manually make Yandex the start page in different browsers?

All web browsers have the ability to customize the start page; you just need to change it manually. The editing procedure will not take much longer than automatic method. The principle is the same everywhere: enable the display of the page at the time of launch (if you want to show previous tabs) and install Yandex in its role.

Home page in Yandex browser

Yandex is engaged in the parallel development of many products, among them there is a web browser, which is called Yandex.Browser. Programs and services from the same manufacturer work together faster and are better synchronized. If you like Yandex and what the company does, you should think about switching to modern browser their development.

Important! This web browser is the only one that does not support setting the start page. You will have to use workarounds, analogues of the standard function for most browsers.

Registration or login to your Yandex account

It's worth starting with the fact that it is possible to customize the search engine page for yourself. But the changes apply only if you have your own account. If it is not there, then you can register, the form is standard and will not cause problems. On the right in Yandex there is a button “Login to mail” and “Create mail”. You need to select the appropriate method and log in.

After logging in, a gear is displayed in which the following options are available: theme replacement, widget management, search engine settings and other parameters.

Configuring the display of the quick access page when opening

The method works with one caveat: the start page is displayed only if there are no previously open tabs in the browser. If the program does not detect tabs that were not closed during the last session, it launches the search engine. By default, the function does not work, it needs to be enabled.

How to do it:

  1. Open the menu and go to “Settings”.

  • Turn off add-ons. It is better to deactivate all extensions and try to make adjustments. Did it work? The problem is definitely in the additional modules; you should start enabling addons one at a time until the problem appears again. If you find a problematic extension, you should remove it.
  • Scan your system for viruses. Some virus software controls browsers and can interfere with the operation of all web browsers. Helps eliminate infection antivirus program AdwCleaner.
  • See if the labels are written correctly. In “Properties”, namely in the “Object” line, there should not be any links after the exe extension. If there are addresses of any pages that the user does not know about, it is better to cut them out.

What should I do if Webalta, etc. opens instead of Yandex?

  2. Click on the “Home” section.
