IN recent times when installing most programs, you can observe the presence of the Yandex.Bar service in the installation package. It would seem that at one of the stages, the corresponding marks can be removed, but sometimes you can simply forget about their presence and install not only this service, but also make Yandex the default Internet page.
You will need
- Internet browser.
Instructions
when you click the "+" sign (new tab), the search engine page appears - this is very inconvenient when using the quick start panel. At the moment, in any browser, you can prohibit the display of the default page or change it to another.
Hello everyone. So I don't use Google Chrome, but believe me or not, I'm already thinking about switching to it. Something is going on with Mozilla, well, completely incomprehensible. In short, she began to load my processor more, loads it with something, and as I understand it, Mozilla doesn't really like a lot of tabs. And it so happened to me that I need a lot of tabs to be pinned. In general, be that as it may, sometimes I have to reboot this Mozilla ..
In general, it's hard for me to write this, I'm a devoted fan of Mozilla, this is the second browser after Opera 12 and I thought that I would be so good with Mozilla. But apparently it's not just that Google Chrome is gaining popularity ...
In fact, Chrome is not as bad as some advanced users claim. Yes, I know that there is a problem with the fact that it consumes a lot of RAM. But I think it can be solved with an umbrella. Joke, I mean with the help of a special plugin that, after some time, sends inactive tabs to sleep. That is, it flushes all the contents of the tabs to disk, it's kind of called swapping.
So, in this article I will answer some questions about Google Chrome, I hope that you can find the answer to your one or another question here. Here we go?
How to make Yandex the start page in Google Chrome?
Yes, I think that Yandex, which always in some way pushes its software like, of course, will be very happy if someone wants to make it in the role start page.. They even wrote an extension for this ... (I'll write about this below)
Yandex really seems to be better than Google, but that's my opinion, it's just that Yandex is a purely Russian search engine. And it seems to me that Yandex understands better what we are looking for in it than Google. In the sense that he understands Russian better. I don't use Yandex that often, I can even say that recently it is rare, but I confess, it happened that I liked the results in Yandex much more. In general, I think, can you still switch to Yandex as the main search engine?
In general, these are the things
So, first launch Chrome and select the Settings item in the menu:
You can also get into these settings if you just go to this address:
chrome: // settings /
Everything, we're in the settings, that's good. Let's start with the start page, at the beginning of the settings there is such an item as Open at startup, point to the Specified pages here and click the Add button:
A window like this will appear:
You see, there I have Google here - if you have something there, then click the cross next to the address and then, where the input field is, write the Yandex search engine there. It can be either just a light version of ya.ru or a full version of yandex.ru (there is still news there). As you wrote the address of the search engine, then click OK:
That's it, after clicking OK, you can close the browser, after a second start it again and make sure that the Yandex search engine will now load
But Yandex has done something else to make it easier for users, so that nothing needs to be changed there ... You just need to install a special extension! And it's very simple to do this, you just need to go to Yandex and click here:
Then Yandex itself will tell you what to click:
That's it, now you will always have a Yandex search engine, you don't have to worry!
How to remove Yandex from the start page in Google Chrome?
Removing Yandex from the start page in Chrome is almost the same as adding it, that is, as I wrote above. But to be sure that you will succeed, I will still show you how to do it. Look, go to the settings again, you can quickly do this if you go to this address:
chrome: // settings /
Now there is such a thing as Open at startup, look, there are two options - you can choose or to open earlier open tabs, or to open a new tab. That is, if you choose some option, then Yandex will no longer be there when Chrome starts. But nevertheless, I advise you to delete the start page.
If you suddenly see here that the following will be written here:
This means that you have an extension from Yandex for its own start page, then just click Disable extension and that's it
So, to delete the start one, click here the Add button, this one:
And there will be the address of the Yandex search engine, in front of it, just click on this cross and that's it:
After that, this line with the address will disappear and all you have to do is click OK. That's it - you removed Yandex from the start page in Chrome, hurray!
How to manually enable NPAPI support in Google Chrome?
What is NPAPI in general? I will not burden you with terms, I will not bother you, I am not like that. I will say that, as I understand it, this NPAPI is such an interface for connecting some plugins. That is, if there is no NPAPI support or it is disabled, then there may be problems with plugins, or some of them will not start at all. It is supported by many browsers, not only Chrome.
Hmm, but what else I found interesting, in short, here's the thing, Chrome supports this NPAPI only up to version 45. That is, in Chrome only up to version 45 there is this NPAPI! This is a jamb, so I don't even know if I can turn it on or not, well, let's see ...
You need to open the secret settings of Chrome, for this go to this address:
chrome: // flags / # enable-npapi
What do you think? Look, I have a prank here, because the browser is far from the 44th version, so there is no NPAPI here:
That is, here I held down Ctrl + F, well, to find the setting with NPAPI, it may still be there, but it is not here and point What should I do? I will download the 44th version of Chrome and see if I can enable this NPAPI there.
Yes, it turned out to be difficult to find this 44th version .. In short, it was not so easy, I found it, some person posted it on the Google forum, so I thought that from there it is best to download it. Here is the link:
There is version 44.0.2403.157. But you only need to download the offline installer! Another small jamb is that there is an English version (then I will also write how to change the language). In general, I installed it, everything was normal, this is the 44th version.
Maybe you still have such a jamb that your profile will not start with the old version of Chrome (error like the profile cannot be loaded). Well, that is, the profile is from the modern version of Chrome, and you put the old one, in the end there may be problems, you know? Copy the profile just in case. But where is it stored google profile Chrome? The current profile is stored in the Default folder, here is the path to it:
Where VirtMachine is, this is where your computer name should be. In general, this is me to the fact that if anything, you can copy the Default folder completely before installing the old 44th version of Chrome. Just in case, I would say so. Well, if you bet at all. For I did put
Although, again, it seems like the 44th version is not that old ...
By the way, to find out what it costs google version Chrome, then go to this address, everything is written there:
chrome: // chrome /
And I decided to check if I can turn off NPAPI in it, is it a wiring ..?
In general, I entered mine this command:
chrome: // flags / # enable-npapi
And here is the result, there is something like Enable NPAPI:
That is, here you just need to click on Enable and that's it, NPAPI will turn on and everything will be fine! Only then you will need to reboot and that's it:
Means not wiring! I do not think that this version, 44th, is so bad and I think that it will work normally for a long time. If you are critical of NPAPI support, then you should install it
By the way, Google disabled this NPAPI support back on September 1, 2015 and this is due to security.
Also, if you have any problems with the flash player, well, it does not work and it seems to you that it is related to NPAPI, then look at this link, this is the official Google forum:
There may be information useful for you, and by the way it says about NPAPI
How to enable Russian language in Google Chrome?
Here I have Chrome in English, this is certainly not a tragedy, but it's much better when it's Russian, well, everything is so elementary. Not everyone knows English well.
So in Chrome we call the main menu and select the Settings item there:
The settings page will open (by the way, it is also located at chrome: // settings /). We turn that one with the mouse to the very bottom, there will be something like Show advanced settings, click on this:
Now look for the Languages \u200b\u200bsettings there, and here you click the Language and input setting button:
The Languages \u200b\u200bwindow will open, so you need to click the Add button:
Then a menu will appear, here you need to select Russian, so I have already chosen it here:
After that, it will appear in the list of languages \u200b\u200b- it must be selected there, and then click the Display Google Chrome in this language button:
Then it will be written that in order for the Russian to work, you need to restart Chrome:
In general, we still press this Done button in this window:
Now we close the browser and launch it again, open the menu and rejoice, everything is now in Russian:
Where can I see saved passwords in Google Chrome?
Save passwords is convenient, you don't need to remember everything, let Chrome remember it for us. But sometimes it happens that you need to look at these passwords, for example, when you forgot your email password. Chrome remembers him, but you don't, that's such a joke
So, let's go - call the main Chrome menu and select the Settings item there (or just go to chrome: // settings /):
Scroll with the mouse to the very bottom, click on Additional settings there:
There will be such settings as Passwords and Forms, then you need to click here:
And here you will see passwords and logins, here, look:
To see a password, you need to click on it (that is, on these points) and then the show button will appear there:
After that, you will see your password! In order to quickly find a password, enter part of the site in the search field, it will be faster:
It's as simple as that. To be honest, I thought that there was no such function in Chrome ..
Where does Google Chrome store bookmarks?
So bookmarks are sites that you enter into a special browser menu, to which you always have fast access... Well, I think that this is clear to you. Now about where they actually are. Bookmarks are of course stored in the user's profile folder. So in Windows XP they are stored here:
C: \\ Documents and Settings \\ \\ Local Settings \\ Application Data \\ Google \\ Chrome \\ User Data \\ Default \\ Bookmarks
And in Windows 7 and newer versions here:
C: \\ Users \\ \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Google \\ Chrome \\ User Data \\ Default \\ Bookmarks
However, Bookmarks is not a folder, but a file! Well, I think you get it. So I took it and checked it, my computer is called VirtMachine, I replaced it with the name of the computer and went to this address:
C: \\ Users \\ VirtMachine \\ AppData \\ Local \\ Google \\ Chrome \\ User Data \\ Default
And here I see this Bookmarks file, this is all the bookmarks:
I tried to open it with notepad and this is the content it showed me:
Well, I'll also show you how to export bookmarks. So look, go to this address here:
chrome: // bookmarks
Now there is such an Arrange button, you click it and there at the bottom there is such an item as Export bookmarks to HTML:
Then this HTML file can also be imported back into Chrome, well, only in the menu you choose not export, but import, I hope everything is clear
How do I enable Java support in Google Chrome?
I have some bad news for you! Google, starting from version 42, disabled Java support, how much this affected the operation of the browser, I cannot say, because my sites open normally as before. But I feel that this prank is connected with NPAPI (I wrote above) and that all these disconnections led to the fact that some applications stopped working in the browser. Well, there are types of games and the rest. There is only one way out - to put more old version Chrome, I just installed the last one, where there is still support for Java, this is version 41.0.2272.76.
Java support is important for websites to work properly, especially in the multimedia part. If it is disabled, there may be problems, but I do not have them. Maybe because I just look at websites, I don’t play anything there and don’t listen, well, that is, I just read.
First make sure you have latest version Java, if in doubt, you can download it from here:
There you need to download the installer, then close all browsers and install this Java.
Now regarding the Java plugin itself, go to this address:
chrome: // plugins /
And see if the Java (TM) plugin is included here:
As you can see, there is this Java plug-in (TV), but this is the version, not the last, but the 41st .. At the moment, I already have the 52nd version, in what!
Well, these are the pies, why did they turn it all off, I don't understand, but the most interesting thing is that I definitely did not expect such tricks from Google ...
How to enable incognito mode in Google Chrome?
Incognito mode allows you to leave no traces in the browser, and you know, this is often quite a necessary feature. For example, you came to visit for a drink of tea, and you want to look at something on the Internet, but you would not at all want anyone else to know about it .. Well, about what you were looking for there on the Internet .. For this and there is a private mode or incognito, this is the same thing
Private mode literally leaves no traces, but it only works for the browser. That is, the provider still sees which sites you visit, even if you have this private mode enabled, so keep that in mind. It's just that the provider does not care what you turn on there, he sees your computer's connections with certain ip-addresses, which are essentially sites, that is, finding out the name of the site by ip-address is not so difficult. By the way, I wrote about what the provider sees.
Well, that's enough, but that I started writing something wrong about that ..
It is very simple to enable private mode, look, in Chrome, call the main menu and select this item there:
Then a window will open, it has an icon with which you can always determine whether you are in incognito mode or not. This icon:
Well that's all, as you can see everything is simple and easy!
How to transfer favorites from Internet Explorer to Google Chrome?
So you set yourself Chrome, everything is fine, but the bookmarks remained in Internet Explore, what to do now, well, that's what? No big deal, Chrome has a feature to migrate favorites from IE! Well done, developers!
Here's how to do it, open the main menu and select Bookmarks\u003e Import from there:
Then a menu will appear where you need to select the browser from which you want to import data, well, and indicate what exactly to import:
That's it, then you will only see a message that everything went well:
How to clear the cache of the Google Chrome browser?
What is the cache for? Look, when you visit pages on the Internet, what are you doing there? You probably read, well, or look, in general it does not matter. But, more often than not, the text on the pages changes, do you agree? The design does not change every day ... That is why then we must always load it when we look at the site? This is where the cache comes to the rescue! All data that does not change or do it rarely, then all this is entered into the cache, so that later all this is not downloaded from the Internet, but pulled from the cache. And then the same thing to load, it's not cool!
This is the beauty of the cache, it speeds up the loading of the same pages! As a result, the browser downloads only text and some small things, and all this does not require a lot of Internet. This I mean that with the cache even mobile Internet will get a little faster ...
But they say that Chrome is stupid because of the cache, I really did not notice this, but users still write about it, there is no smoke without fire .. I do not know how to explain this, but if anything, I will now show you how to clear the cache in Chrome ... You will succeed, there is nothing difficult here!
So, we call the main menu of Chrome and there we select the settings:
Now go to history, for this click here:
Now look, select here for the entire period and leave only one checkbox, this is about the files in the cache, this checkbox:
By the way, in this window, well, that's where you can clear the cache, then you can still get into it by simply going to this address:
chrome: // settings / clearBrowserData
Well, that's all the guys, I hope that this info was useful to you, all the same, damn it, I tried ..
Good luck and good mood, so that everything is good for you and that you smile more often
10.08.2016Before the reader gets acquainted with a detailed discussion of the question of how to remove Yandex from the start page, it makes sense to touch the main reason the difficulty that many users have, the name of which is naive inattention. After installing this or that software, many of us do not even pay attention to the fact that the installation windows have a certain "consent checkbox". Recklessness and shortsightedness subsequently have a not entirely favorable result. Now about everything in detail.
Race for the championship
Every developer of an Internet product strives to occupy the highest level of demand. The question that arises: "How to remove Yandex from the start page?" - the result of ingenious cunning programmers. Agree, the more difficult the decision, the more time it takes to resolve it. As a result, seeing inexperience, the user becomes a "voluntary hostage" of the script of the Internet game "Yandex: who is not with us, he will be ours!" Let us free you from the overly caring and effective obsession of service development professionals. Here are five different ways to remove Yandex from the start page. Let's start!
Standard option number 1. When not everything had time to "register"
The browser of Internet pages, it does not matter which one, has a diverse set of tools in its arsenal: extensions, plugins, applications and an integrated configuration environment. The principle of their work is practically the same, but the interface of each of them still has signs of individuality. Therefore, to solve the question of how to remove Yandex from the start page, two most popular browsers will serve as an example.
Google chrome
In this case, when Chrome starts, the pages that you specified in the corresponding list will be loaded.
- Activate in the section "Start group" the item "Quick page ...".
- In the paragraph below " Appearance"must be marked with the" Show button ... "marker.
- By clicking on the "Change" link, write down the address of the main page (start page).
Now the "Domi" icon will appear at the top of the screen on the left and by clicking on it you will be taken to home page, the address of which was specified in the settings.
Mozilla Firefox
- The upper left corner is "Settings", in the drop-down menu, select "Settings" again.
- In the window that opens, in the "Home page" item, enter the required starting address.
The original version number 2. "Infected" labels
How to remove the Yandex start page if standard methods powerless? Check your browser icon:
- Right-click on the shortcut.
- Select Properties.
- In the "Object" checkbox, carefully examine the path (directory) of the called browser.
- If you find any "tail" with "Yandex" content, remove the "intrusive trailer".
Extraordinary Option # 3. Host Binding
- Double click: "My Computer".
- We open the system partition of the disk.
- Go to windows folder, then system32.
- IN search bar prescribe etc.
- We open the found file, which, by the way, is in the system drivers.
- Using a standard notepad, we look at the content of the data. However, they just need to be removed.
- Save your changes and enjoy!
Extravagant option number 4. Influential personality
If none of the above methods worked properly, and everything remains as before (the "uninvited guest" does not leave the browser), most likely the question of the browser requires "extended" consideration.
Google chrome
- We go into the settings.
- On the left side of the interface, click "Extensions".
Mozilla Firefox
- Settings menu.
- Then "Add-ons" - "Extensions".
Attention: Seeing the difficulty of understanding why this or that application is installed, and sometimes the "pest" can disguise itself as anything, just methodically disable them, analyzing the result of your actions with restarting the browser. Finding the "culprit" of your misadventures, delete.
Final option number 5. Browser "metastases"
Sometimes the question of how to remove the start page of this or that Internet "invader" is solved quite simply.
- Go to the control panel.
- Then in the menu of installed programs.
- Review the list carefully. The various Tool Bar or Conduit applications are the "cancer" of your Internet browser.
- Uninstalling will resolve your problem.
Finally
Remember that each search system interested in you as a regular user. You may be offered a lot of useful and, in general, free applications, extensions and programs. But if something starts to "strain" you, think about it. Perhaps the answer is somewhere nearby.
