Experimental features

Not every Yandex Browser user knows what it has hidden settings. These are called experimental features and are in a separate secret section.

To open the secret section, enter the address: browser: // flags / in the browser bar.

include animation (Animation effects), visual effects of blur and reflection, and more.

Please note that the set of experimental features is constantly changing and some features may no longer be available in new versions of Yandex.Browser.

If you decide to try a browser from Yandex, but have a poor idea of \u200b\u200bhow to set up this browser, then it is better to refer to the instructions. By clicking on the wrong option, you risk knocking down the entire application. Of course, all browsers do approximately the same principle, so that the new user is intuitively clear where to click and what to do, nevertheless, some functions and settings are hidden in completely different places in the Yandex browser. Carefully read the instructions and explanations in this article in order to independently configure the browser according to your wishes and preferences.

How to configure the basic functions of Yandex browser

When you open your browser for the first time, you will see approximately the same picture as in the screenshot below: you will have several tabs in the middle of the screen, a beautiful splash screen and a toolbar at the top.

To get started with the most basic setup, look for a small icon with three stripes in the upper right corner of the program.
Click on it once with the left mouse button.

Immediately you will see the main Yandex browser menu. There are many options available to you: view your history, downloads, edit add-ons, view bookmarks. You need the "Settings" line.

Once inside this option, you can start debugging your browser.

The very first line will be “Synchronization”. This is a special browser feature that will allow you not to lose all settings and bookmarks if something happens to the computer system.
Click on the “Enable Synchronization” button to use it.

You just need to enter mail from Yandex to synchronize bookmarks and settings.
If you do not have mail yet, then click on the "Create an account" button.

After setting up the synchronization, return to the previous menu with the settings. In front of you will be a large block called “Appearance settings” and a smaller block “Show bookmarks bar”.

Read each line carefully to understand what it says. The most important lines on this menu are:

“Disable background animation when the battery is low” - this item is not only for decoration. By ticking it, you save precious minutes of charging your battery.
"Show in a new Zen tab" is the business of every user. When you open a new tab, it displays news and sites that are formed from your interests. You can check the box here to see the Zen feed.
“Allow online video to be viewed in a separate window” - some sites request this option, so check the box.

All other items are purely aesthetic in nature. The bottom block with the bookmarks bar is needed to display your saved sites. If you want to see the strip with them always, then set the value "Always". “Only on scoreboard” will bookmark the welcome window in Yandex Scoreboard.

There is very little left:

Choose the search engine you are using in the “Search” line yourself.
What do you want to see when you open your browser: recent tabs or scoreboards with sites? Check the box you want.
You also choose what to do when you close a tab.
The last two points are the appearance of the tabs. Usually, users put the display of tabs on top. And the last point allows the tabs to shrink if you have opened too many of them.

At the very bottom of the settings you can see the button “Show additional settings”. If you are an inexperienced user and are afraid to put too much, then it is better not to try to configure extra options... They are set by default to quite convenient positions.

How to configure add-ons in Yandex browser

Add-ons can give you a lot of new features: antiviruses, ad hiding, pop-up news and much more.

To put your add-on, go to the very bottom of the page and click on the field “Catalog of extensions for Yandex.Browser”.

You will see a huge list of official add-ons and extensions. To install one of them, just click on it and click “Add to Yandex Browser”.

You can add your favorite sites to special bookmarks and have access to them at any time. To do this, you need to go to the site that you want to save. Next, pay attention to the small gray star in the upper right corner of the site.

Click on it and you will see a small menu.

Here you can give your bookmark a name.
Select the save path “Bookmarks Bar”.
Now click “Finish”.

The asterisk changes color to yellow.

To see your bookmarks, go to the settings menu again and hover over the “Bookmarks” line.

You will see a list of these same bookmarks that you made earlier and a small menu.
Click on the line “Show bookmarks bar”.

Done. You can see all the sites that you have saved.

Good afternoon, dear subscribers and readers of the blog site, earlier I told you how to reset the browser settings to the initial ones, but I forgot to tell you where these same settings are on your computer and today I will fix it. And so the subject of the note will be where the browser settings are stored.

What browsers will be discussed today, let's list them

Google chrome
Opera
Mozilla FireFox
Yandex browser
Internet Explorer

Why do you need this at all, knowing where browser settings are stored in Windows, you can always transfer them to another computer or device, I many times in the era of my administration came across a situation that when reinstalling the system to a user, he suddenly remembered for new system that he does not have his plug-ins in the browser and bookmarks here, you tell him you did not ask to do this and you were asked did not forget, but he, well, you should have guessed by yourself :), so that you do not need to guess, read below. I also want to draw your attention to how to save the history of skype, which is also useful to you.

Google Chrome settings are stored on your computer along this path. The example in question is Windows 8.1, but in 7 or 10 everything will be the same.

C: \\ Users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Google \\ Chrome \\ User Data \\ Default

In the Default folder you will find all the settings, for example, the Bookmarks file is your bookmarks, below there are them backup copy... The Extensions folder contains all your installed extensions. The History file contains the entire history. Useful for security guards, downloaded this file and study it later. Thinking with storage google settings Chrome is clear.

We go further to figure out where the browser settings are stored in Windows and Opera is next in line. Quite an old surfer on the Internet, but recently they breathed new life into him, the versions come out like nuts, I liked the old one more, but today we are not talking about that.

Opera's settings are located along this path.

C: \\ Users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Roaming \\ Opera Software \\ Opera Stable

Here you also see Opera bookmarks, this is the Bookmarks file, and the browser history is also located in the Hystory file. Here you will find a folder of extensions and themes.

The program itself is installed along the path

C: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ Opera

As one character from my childhood said, we continue the conversation.

Let's figure out where the red fox stores its settings, or how to use the correct firefox.

For Windows XP, this is the way

For modern operating systems that way

C: \\ users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Roaming \\ Mozilla \\ Firefox \\ Profiles \\

There will be such a data structure

Where internet explorer settings are stored

Not my favorite browser, but without it it is still difficult to imagine a client of banks and electronic trading platforms. Anyway, Microsoft is already burying it, inviting everyone to use the new Edge. Like other MS does not store everything in one place, for example, the history lies along this path

The settings themselves are located at this address.

C: \\ users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Microsoft \\ Internet Explorer

Where are Yandex browser settings stored

Yandex puts all its settings in a folder, so when transferring to another computer, we copy it.

C: \\ users \\ username \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Yandex \\ YandexBrowser \\ User Data

The Tor browser as such does not store anything, but if there is anything, it is in the folder along with the boot file, I have a Portable version, it does not store anything. I hope you now know where all the parameters and settings of the browsers you need are located.

The Yandex browser is based on the Chromium platform developed by Google. Therefore, its interface and capabilities are very similar to the popular worldwide Chrome browser. If you have worked with it before, it will not be difficult to understand the program from Yandex. But at the same time, several new ones have been added here. convenient functions, which are not in Chrome. This article discusses the process of setting up and customizing the Yandex browser: where to find the menu, how to change the appearance, search engines, translator, edit the Scoreboard, connect extensions, and so on.

Most of the Yandex browser configurations are changed in a special menu. To enter it, you need to call the program control panel. It is not difficult to find the call button - it is located in the "header" of the window, just to the left of the "Minimize" and "Close" buttons. Click on it and in the drop-down menu select the section with the name "Options" ("Options").

There are many different elements located here. If you have just installed an Internet browser, it is recommended that you pay attention to the following parameters:

Setting up the Scoreboard

When you launch Yandex browser or open a new blank tab, a special tool opens - the scoreboard. This is an analogue of the Express panel from the Opera browser. This page contains a list of frequently visited or added to favorites websites. Here are the buttons quick access to the history of visits, the directory of uploaded files, the list installed extensions etc.

For more comfortable work with the Scoreboard, you need to customize it for yourself:

Delete those modules that you would not like to see on the Scoreboard.
Arrange the remaining elements in a convenient order for you.

If the standard functions of a web browser are not enough for you, you can connect various add-ons - special modules created by supporters of developers. They bring new opportunities and can become indispensable helpers when working on the Internet.

Several extensions are preinstalled in the Yandex browser at once, so that users can understand their work and appreciate what it is. To enable them, you need to open the plugin manager. To do this, open the control panel and click on the "Add-ons" button.

This page displays a list of all add-ons that are installed on your Yandex browser. Here will be placed both pre-installed and those that the users themselves will connect. You can enable and disable the work of extensions using special "On / Off" switches.

It will be very useful to enable Adguard applications and "Blocking Flash Banners and Videos". They will save you from annoying ads on the Internet pages and in the videos you watch.
