Installing Yandex as home page allows you to automatically open the first page of a popular Russian search engine when you open a browser if you are connected to the Internet. Many people find this convenient. That is why the request is so popular how to make Yandex home page? We have already considered on the pages of our site how to do this for, and now we will do it for Yandex.
Set the start page to Mozilla Firefox ... We launch Firefox (we are using the latest version 13.0.1 at the time of this writing) and write yandex.ru in the address bar and press Enter so that we are on the Yandex main page. Why do this you will understand further. In the left upper corner browser, press the orange Firefox button and select the "Settings" menu item in the left column. In the settings window that opens, go to the "Basic" fold, if at the moment we are in another tab. In this tab, we check that in the line "When Firefox starts:" was "Show home page" and click the "Use the current page" button, then click "OK". Thus, we have made Yandex a home page. To check this, you can close and reopen the browser. As home page Yandex should load.
As a test subject, we used Google Сhrome 20.0.1132.47 in order to show you how to make Yandex your home page in this browser. The interface is a bit quirky compared to other browsers. We also open the Yandex main page by entering yandex.ru into the address bar of the browser and pressing Enter. All other pages except Yandex on other tabs must be closed. Next, click on the image of the wrench in the upper right part of the browser and select the "Settings" menu item. In the window that opens, in the left column, select the "Settings" section, if at the moment you are not in them. In the settings, we work with the "Initial group" block. Click on the "Add" link. A window opens listing start pagesthat run when the browser opens. By clicking on the "Use current pages" button, we will set Yandex as the starting point in chrome. Click "OK" and close and reopen chrome to check if the settings are correct.
Installing the start page in Opera.
For the demonstration, we used the browser version 12.0. We act according to the same algorithm that we used to install Yandex with the start page in Firefox. In the address bar of the browser, type yandex.ru and press Enter to open the Yandex start page. Next, press the Opera button in the upper left corner, select "Settings" in the menu that appears and in the next pop-up submenu "General settings". You can also call General Settings by pressing Ctrl and F12 on the keyboard. In the window that appears, select the "General" tab, if you did not immediately get into it. In this tab, in the "At startup" window, set the value "Start from home page" and set it in the "Home" window by clicking on the "Current page" button. Click “Ok. The settings are saved, Yandex is now set as the home page.
Set the start page to Internet Explorer 9
.
We act by analogy with firefox browsers and Opera. Open the Yandex start page by typing yandex.ru in the address bar and pressing Enter. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the browser. In the menu that appears, select the "Internet Options" item. Go to the "General" tab, if initially we did not get there. In the "Home page" group, click the "Current" button, then at the bottom of the window, click "Apply" and "OK". Now, when we open Internet Explorer, we are taken to Yandex by default.
Setting the start page in Safari.
Safari is not that popular with windows users like the previous four browsers we reviewed, nevertheless, it is among the five most popular browsers. It is especially popular with Apple computer lovers. Therefore, we decided to consider how to make Yandex a start page for it as well. The latest version at the time of this writing was 5.1.7. We used it in examples. We do everything according to the scheme already familiar to us. Launch Safari and open the Yandex home page in it. Let's go to the settings. To do this, on computers under control operating system Windows click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the browser and select the "Settings ..." menu item. As you can see from the menu, the same can be done by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl (Control) and "," (comma).
On computers under the control of the operating room mac system OS X click in the general menu bar at the top of the screen with the browser active, the Safari section and in it "Preferences", or call the settings with the shortcut Cmd (command) and "," (comma).
Further settings are the same for Windows and Mac OS X. In the settings window, go to the "General" tab, where we check that the line "Open in new windows:" was "Home page". After that, a little lower under the line "Home page" press the button "Current page". Unlike other browsers, you do not need to click "OK" or "Apply" here. Just close the window and save the settings. Apple's quest for simplicity and difference in action.
Of course, there are other ways to make Yandex your start page. For example, you may not initially open the Yandex home page and not click the "Current Page" button, but simply write the correct address in the appropriate line by hand. But these are all special cases that you will surely deal with on your own after reading this article.
