How to install a Yandex browser
Browsers are programs specifically designed to work on the Internet. In order to feel as comfortable as possible on the network, you should use the most advanced and modern ones.

After that, the Yandex browser will start automatically.

- Click the gear at the top of the browser window and go to the "Settings".
- In the drop-down tab (below) we find the line “Make Yandex browser by default ”and click on it.
After that, Yandex will become the default browser. As you can see, the procedure is not at all complicated.
Program Advantages
The advantages of this new browser include:
- The simplicity of the interface. This is the main advantage of all browsers developed on chromium based. Downloading and making Yandex the default browser is definitely worth it for new Internet users. Understanding all the intricacies of the program will not be difficult even for them.
- The presence of the "Turbo" mode. When you enable this function, the browser automatically compresses the pages, making them more “light”, which greatly speeds up their loading.
- The presence of a "smart" line. This greatly facilitates entering the site address.

Additional features in the new version of 2014.
Despite some shortcomings, it is definitely worth downloading the client and installing the Yandex browser by default. Moreover, the developers are constantly improving this program. So, in 2014 came out a new versionsupplemented by some interesting features. For example, a pop-up blocker has been added to the browser. For those who are annoyed by online advertising, this feature will be more than useful. In addition, users now have the opportunity quick search goods on the Internet. The new version warns about Internet scammers in capital letters. If desired, all of these add-ons can be turned on / off.
The "proprietary" feature of the program
One of the most interesting features of the Yandex browser is a special menu that appears when you click on this. This “Scoreboard” is like an ordinary express page with saved bookmarks, usually available in other browsers. The set of sites in this menu can be changed if desired. From here you can open the usual "Bookmarks", which, of course, is very convenient. It’s also easy to see a list of already visited sites, downloaded files, and recently opened pages.
Translation of pages in the Yandex browser
As in wide famous browser "Chrome", when you open a page in a foreign language, the program offers to translate using the "Yandex" translation. In this case, under the address bar, a panel of the corresponding purpose simply pops up.
Start page in the Yandex browser
So, we figured out how to make Yandex the default browser, as well as what advantages and disadvantages it differs in. Now let's see how you can configure this program. In order for the page of your favorite site to be displayed first when starting the browser, you need to make it the start page. Unfortunately, a similar function is not provided in the program settings. However, the Yandex browser is a new program. Perhaps in future versions this will be fixed.
Currently, you can only make it so that when you launch the browser, those tabs that were last opened or the page are displayed quick access. To do this, again, click on the gear in the upper corner and go to the settings. In the section “Where to start”, you can select the item “Open the quick access page” or “Restore the tabs opened last time”. After that, the selected pages or the default page will open. Yandex browser does this automatically.
Yandex Cache Browser
Sometimes you need a browser. All modern programs designed to view web pages have a similar function. Yandex browser in this regard is also no exception. However, clearing the cache in it is somewhat more difficult than in other similar programs. This can also be attributed to some disadvantages. this browser. In order to find the cache, you need to open the Yandex program browser folder. If you forgot where it is, you can simply use windows search. By clicking on the “Start” button in search bar you must enter the word Yandex. By the name of the program that appears in the search field, left-click and select "File Location". The cache can be found in the following way: Yandex \\ YandexBrowser \\ User Data \\ Default \\ Cache.
Where are the bookmarks in the Yandex browser
The pages on which bookmarks were created are hidden in this program. In order to get to the saved sites, you must click on the browser gear icon. In the pop-up menu you can see the option "Bookmarks". When you hover over this line, another pop-up menu will appear. Here you need to select the line “Show bookmarks bar”. After that, the item “Other bookmarks” will be highlighted on the right side. By clicking on this line, you can see all saved pages.
In that case, if you are a supporter of simple interfaces and do not particularly want to understand the intricacies of various kinds of settings, the program under consideration is exactly what you need. By setting the default Yandex browser, you can use the Internet with maximum comfort.
Scoreboard Yandex Browser opens when clicked in address bar or when opening a new tab.
By default, the Yandex browser scoreboard shows most visited sites. But also you can pin the pages you need to the panel and set the order in which they are displayed.
How to add the desired site to the Yandex browser scoreboard
In the open Scoreboard in the lower right part of it we find and click aDD button. An empty line will appear where you will be asked to enter the address of the page that you want to display in the Scoreboard. As a hint, this blank line also displays sites that you recently visited frequently and recently visited sites. By selecting one of them, you will also add it to your scoreboard.
At the time of this writing, there is the ability to add up to 20 tabs (elements).
By default in the first places Scoreboard Yandex Browser displays the most visited sites. Thus, the order of the tiles may vary depending on the frequency of your viewing of sites added there. But you can fix the display of elements in a specific placeby going into edit mode and changing the position of the needle (sorry, I don’t know how to correctly call the contraption used there) to vertical, as if pinning a site. And you can drag the tiles themselves with the mouse to arrange the elements in the desired sequence.
Setting the background image of a tab with a scoreboard
In the lower left part of the open Tabla there is buttons for background selection from the proposed set. It is also possible to set a personal image as the background. I think that with the PUMP method you can easily figure out this setting.
