How to remove Zen from the Yandex page in the browser on your computer and phone. How to disable Yandex Zen in Chrome, Yandex Browser, Mozilla and Opera? How to remove zen at the bottom of the page

More than 2 years have passed since Yandex launched its personalized service for selecting online publications “Yandex.Zen”. The service’s capabilities, according to the company, are used by more than 20 million people, and the Yandex company itself turns the popularity of “Zen” into real money through advertising built into the product. At the same time, not all users are delighted with the capabilities of the service; many are annoyed by constantly appearing news publications at the bottom of the browser window. In this material I will tell you how to get rid of Zen in Yandex, and what methods will help us with this.

Features of Yandex.Zen functionality

Let me remind the reader that “Zen” is a service that recommends various Internet pages for the user to read. In the selection of appropriate content, the wishes of the person and the resources he visits are taken into account, therefore every day “Zen” will more and more accurately select the material that will interest you.

This tool is built into the Yandex browser by default and can be easily activated/deactivated by the user himself. It can also be found on other browsers (including after hidden installation as a result of bundling), and most often in the popular web navigators Mozilla and Chrome.

How to remove the Zen service from the Yandex main page

1. To disable the functionality of the service from the main page of Yandex.Browser, you need to click on the settings button at the top right (three horizontal lines).
2. In the menu that appears, select “Settings”.
3. In the optional window that opens, find “Appearance Settings”, where you can uncheck the “Show in new Zen tab” option.

An alternative method of getting rid of this is to log out of your account in Yandex.Browser (in this case, you will lose a number of relevant advantages, for example, the browser will not save your passwords on the server and your browsing history).

If you want to selectively disable news from a specific resource, find the specified resource in the “Zen” feed, give it a dislike (thumbs down), and select “Block” in the menu that appears.

If you simply dislike a publication, you will see fewer similar publications in the future.

How to get rid of a service on mobile platforms

If you have smartphones on Android and iOS, then deleting “Zen” on them is carried out according to a similar principle. Click on the settings icon in your browser (with three bars or dots), select "Settings", then "Advanced", and uncheck "Show feed...".

How to deactivate "Zen" in Chrome and Mozilla

1. To disable this service in Chrome, you need to go to the settings of your navigator located under the tabs (on the main screen under the tabs there is the inscription “Settings”).
2. And in the settings panel that opens, uncheck “Show Zen feed in new tab.”
3. Then you need to go to the browser settings, to the extensions tab, and remove extensions there that somehow mention “Yandex”.

In the “fox” browser, deactivation of the mentioned service occurs in a similar way. You need to go to the settings of your navigator, and uncheck the option “Show in a new Zen tab..”.

Radical way

If these methods turned out to be ineffective, and for some reason you are unable to remove the Zen service from your browser, it would be rational to completely uninstall your Yandex.Browser. Then restart your PC, download and install a new version of this web navigator, and follow the steps to disable Zen described above. This algorithm is quite effective, especially if, due to some dysfunction (in particular, damage to the registry or browser kernel), you cannot remove the service in the standard way.

Conclusion

In the vast majority of cases, you can get rid of the Zen service by going to the settings of your web navigator and unchecking the corresponding option. If this method turns out to be ineffective, then either logging out of your Yandex account or completely reinstalling the browser with subsequent deactivation of the service will help, which will help get rid of its annoying functionality on your PC.

Products from Western developers. True, such a product is based on the Chromium platform, the work of Western specialists represented by Google. But Chromium is only a platform; Yandex.Browser is very different from the mass of other Chrome clones thanks to the careful work on it by the Russian search engine development team. Their developments on top of the Chromium platform concern not only a modified interface, as can be found by launching that other clone of the Chrome browser. The Yandex browser has its own security system and its own separate functionality. Yandex.Browser is the leader in the number of extensions that can be installed, since it supports work with both the Chrome store and the Opera store. And, of course, Yandex.Browser has its own unique interface, tailored to work with the creator’s services.

One of these services is the Yandex.Zen news collection integrated into the browser, which, alas, has not received adequate public support during its existence. Not appreciating the efforts of the browser’s creators, many users are looking for ways to disable Yandex.Zen. We’ll look at how to do this at the very end of the article. First, let’s talk about what this function is and whether it needs to be disabled.

About Yandex.Zen

The service of the Russian search engine, also known as the standard functionality of Yandex.Browser, ornately named, is nothing more than an ordinary news selection, previews of new articles from certain sites displayed on the home page of the Tablo web browser.

The news selection is endless; scrolling down will reveal more and more previews of materials from the Internet.

The service is available in desktop and mobile versions of Yandex Browser, as well as as a separate application for Android - Yandex Launcher.

A service created from contradictions

Why is this completely harmless functionality so displeasing that many people want to disable Yandex.Zen? It is woven from contradictions, perhaps because the efforts of the developers are not destined to be appreciated by the browser audience.

In pursuit of beautiful names for its services, the company in this case clearly overdid it, naming the chaos of incoming information in honor of Zen - the school of Buddhism, the teachings of which deny, if not all, but many things from worldly life, and prefer meditative practices to social aggression and news chaos.

The news selection is based on a self-learning mechanism that shapes it in accordance with the interests of users. This is achieved by analyzing the Internet resources they visit. But the creators of the service forgot to provide for the possibility of users adding new materials from their favorite sites to the selection. News can only come from sites provided by Yandex.

This nuance is largely responsible for the desire of many to disable Yandex.Zen.

Activation of news collection

A little earlier, the news selection was embedded in the browser by default along with its installation on Windows. As of the date of writing this article, the rules of the game have been changed: Yandex.Zen is activated only at the user’s request - if he turns it on when setting up the web browser for the first time.

Is it necessary to disable the news selection in order to save system resources?

If the news selection is not annoying, but we are talking about a device with problematic hardware characteristics, do you need to bother with the question of how to disable Yandex.Zen? On a computer with a weak processor or a slow HDD, this kind of functionality will not play a special role. But on devices with low RAM (2 GB or less), any unnecessary browser functionality - unnecessary extensions, standard news collections, built-in RSS aggregators, etc. - it is advisable to disable it. Since all Chromium browsers are designed for the active use of RAM.

in Yandex.Browser

On a computer with a Yandex browser installed, you can disable the news collection in the settings.

Going to the settings section, look for the “Appearance Settings” column.

Here, by removing the option to display the news feed, as shown in the screenshot above, you can actually disable Yandex.Zen.

Yandex Zen has been operating for more than 2 years. According to the developers, more than 20 million people read it every day. True, no one has calculated how many of these users it annoys. A news feed at the bottom of the search box with pictures, links, and distracting headlines can get in the way. Interested in how to remove Zen from the Yandex main page, a person wants to increase his productivity. If you wish, you can watch the channels you subscribe to in Zen through your account.

The problem is familiar to everyone who works with search every day. We are looking for a transport company for work in Nizhnevartovsk, and now we are reading news from the lives of stars. And then we stay late at the end of the day to finish important things. Or we’re trying to write a thesis, but interesting articles distract us from the task.

You need to remove Zen from the starting page if:

• Articles are distracting;
• The browser loads slowly;
• Your smartphone or tablet does not display search correctly.

Advice: to radically get rid of Zen services, you just need to uninstall all Yandex applications and remove its “branded” browser.

How to remove Zen from the Yandex main page in the browser

It will not be possible to get rid of the service when loading the search engine. It will always show articles at the bottom of the search page. You can only go to the “light” version of the search engine - ya.ru, and then the search will load without articles.

Many people use the Yandex browser, and they are annoyed by loading articles in a separate tab. Disabling Zen in Yandex Browser is quite simple:

• A menu opens in settings;
• There is a line “Show Zen in a new tab”;
• The checkbox opposite is removed.

That's it, articles and news will no longer load and irritate you, we managed to remove Zen in Yandex Browser.

How to disable Zen in Google Chrome

Unnecessary Chrome extensions slow down your work and are distracting. YandexZen users download and install along with the extension from this popular search engine. Disabling unnecessary functionality in Chrome is also quite simple.

• You need to go into the settings and open the “extensions” tab;
• Here you will need to uncheck all the boxes next to the menu items related to Yandex;
• Next, you need to remove the start page from the browser (usually Yandex) and put Google in its place.
• Click on the menu item “Open at startup” and enter the address of another search engine.

In the updated version of Chrome, you can simply hide Zen and not have to worry about deleting it.

How to remove Zen from Mozilla and Opera browsers

You can disable Zen on the main page of the Mozilla browser if you remove all bookmarks that the service automatically creates in browser extensions.

To do this you need:

• Open settings;
• Go to the “Add-ons” tab;
• Delete everything related to Yandex Zen on the “Extensions” tab.

In Opera it is even easier to get rid of Zen. You need to press “Ctrl + Shift + E”, wait until all installed extensions are loaded, and delete everything associated with the service.

Advanced Browser Removal Methods

You can remove Zen using the Revo Uninstaller or Clean Registry programs. You need to download the program itself and use it to remove browser extensions. To do this you should:

• Select the browser you have installed;
• Click the “Delete” button and select the “Advanced” and “Scan” removal method.
• After the program finishes, you will need to download a “clean” browser distribution and install it again.

Important: often downloadable software packages already contain changes and built-in Yandex services. If, after uninstalling and restarting the computer, Yandex services still pop up, it is better to try downloading the browser from the official website of its developer. Otherwise, you will have to get rid of Zen manually again.

How to remove Zen from mobile

The scheme for uninstalling a program on a mobile browser is similar to what we do in Google Chrome:

• Go to settings;
• Select extensions;
• Uncheck the boxes next to the Yandex service;
• Reboot the device.

After this, you will no longer be annoyed or distracted by a selection of articles from Yandex.Zen.

Will subscriptions continue?

Let's say we just don't want to see articles and news while working, but we don't mind reading blogs in our free time. Then you will have to enter the Zen address in the browser, download it, and log in to the account with which the subscriptions were made. Now you will see all the blogs that you previously subscribed to, and you can easily read the feed.

Disadvantage of this approach:

• The intuitiveness of the service is lost. Yandex no longer displays publications that might be of interest. You have to subscribe to blogs manually;
• There is no way to learn more about a topic right away, since the subscription is limited to the user's choice.

Therefore, if you want to read Zen as before, you just need to load the usual Yandex search in a separate window and scroll down the page. The service will appear there, and you can spend time reading the publications. You cannot delete a feed from a Yandex page.

How to avoid seeing individual user posts

Let's say that Zen himself is not annoying while working, but individual bloggers, news agencies or news feeds are annoying. A simple diagram will help you avoid seeing such publications:

• Go to the channel;
• Give any publication a thumbs down;
• From the pop-up menu, click Block

Disliking a publication will help you see less similar materials in the Zen feed in the future, without turning off the feed itself.

Is it possible to delete my Zen channel?

The need to remove your Zen arises, for example, when applying for a job related to the public service. Such a specialist is obliged to inform his employer about all blog platforms on which he is registered, provide links to all his blogs, or delete information about himself on the Internet.

You can delete a channel in Zen through technical support. You need to write them a letter in free form, and justify that the channel is no longer needed, you need to delete it and all the information that it contains.

It's even easier to delete subscriptions in Zen. Just go to the channel you are subscribed to and click the appropriate button. If you also click to dislike some publications, such channels will disappear from your feed.

So, it is quite possible to remove Yandex Zen; you just need to remove extensions or add-ons in the browser so that you no longer see annoying additional downloads. If you wish, you can view the feed on the official Zen website in your free time, rather than being distracted by a selection of articles in the middle of work.
