If your computer uses several browsers, one of them must be installed as the main one. With its help, pages will be opened to which any hyperlinks in text documents  and other applications. Any HTML file will also be opened in the main browser. This article describes several ways to make Yandex the default browser in your operating system.

During the installation of the browser, as well as during the first launch, it always suggests putting it as the main one. If at the moment you are using another program to work on the Internet, you can install the Yandex browser.

During this process  The Windows Install Wizard will ask you if you want to designate this application as the main application for the current system. As a rule, a check mark will already be set opposite the corresponding item, you are required not to remove it.

Also, when you start the application, it will remind you that by default some other software is installed and will offer itself as an alternative. In this case, you can either agree or ask the system to never notify you again.

Web browser interface

If Yandex is already installed on your computer, you can designate it as the main browser using the program configuration menu. To do this, follow the walkthrough:

  1. Launch a browser.
  2. Call up the control panel using the button, which shows three horizontal stripes. It is located at the very top of the window, next to the close-minimize controls.
  3. In the drop-down list, select "Settings".
  4. You need the second section in the parameter list. It is called the “Default Browser”. If Yandex is already the main one, it will be written.
  5. Otherwise, you will see the inscription “Yandex is not currently your default browser” (“Yandex is not your default browser”). Also, the “Make Yandex your default browser” button will be available to you. Click on it.

Now it is with the help of this browser that all HTML documents and pages that various hyperlinks point to will open.

Windows system settings

You can also manage your browsers through a special Windows interface. This method  universal - with its help you can easily install any software by default.

In addition, the service provides flexible configuration options, for example, you can open documents with the HTML extension using one program, and HTMLS is completely different. This is very convenient and allows you to take advantage and favorite features of each browser installed on your computer.

At first, the development of “Internet science” for a novice user is very difficult. Still, so many new things ... As a rule, a beginner uses an integrated Internet browser in the operating system Internet explorer. It is from this moment that difficulties begin. However, if you make Yandex the default search engine in the browser, misunderstandings and difficulties of the user will practically disappear as such. Let's see why.

Omnipotent search engine

The Internet is a storehouse of information and inexhaustible. Nevertheless, in view of the scale of the “global project” and the complexity of its organization, one has to learn to find exactly what you need. After all, the world operates with incredibly large information resources. Do not dismiss the fact that many search engines direct the user deliberately on the wrong path, since the algorithm of their program is designed primarily to satisfy their own needs, that is, traffic absorption.

Based on these conclusions, it is necessary to make Yandex the default search engine. Since today it is the most effective conductor in the digital “empire” of Runet data and not only. That Yandex will become your reliable companion in the search process, a friend at the time of entertainment, a teacher for the duration of training and a mentor in business.

An algorithm that thinks in our own way

Agree, it’s easier for you to communicate with people who are close to you in their lifestyle, and traditions, culture and a common history even become a certain element of trust. You easily establish contact with like-minded people and without any hints you understand the difficulties of others. Of course, experience and worldly wisdom do not have a nationality. However, it’s nice to see on the screen of your monitor a weather summary for the area outside the window and without extra effort  perceive news text from an RSS feed. Caring Yandex is a forward-looking search engine, and you will see this more than once.

Yandex - there is everything!

In order to become such a sought-after resource, the developers had to spend far more than one year, or even ten years. The fact is that Yandex has not only an incredibly huge database, but also an excellent reaction rate and high relevance of the answer, that is, the competence of the system allows it to respond to a question posed by a user with special authority. Note that for any request you will receive a quality response. However, not only this is the reason for making Yandex the default search engine.

Acquaintance closer ...



The first thing you should pay attention to when you open home page  Yandex is download speed. Nothing more, everything is simple and extremely clear. But the layout of the design elements, unobtrusive saturation of graphics and comprehensive functionality in the form of various tabs allow you to feel a certain comfort and practical thoughtfulness of the page.

First of all, attention is attracted search string, advanced settings which will help you narrow down the criteria for selecting information. The sections of the catalog in the form of headings located above the main check-box are designed to help the user quickly switch to thematic pages for further work with them. Making Yandex the default search engine means that always with the computer turned on, being able to get weather information in your area, traffic information on your city’s roads, the latest news, currency exchange rates, TV schedules and tons of other things is sometimes easy necessary information. By the way, your mail is also always ready for reading, you just need to go to the server from this page.

Search - how much in this word ...



Yandex may offer several search options:

  • Normal - standard (default).
  • Advanced - the user makes certain settings for the search criteria.
  • Economical - nothing more, just a check-box for requests.
  • Special - for people with low vision (larger font).
  • Zen search - for those who do not know why he even got here.
  • Optimistic - a white screen, and then ... how come!
  • Pessimistic - the opposite of the previous search option.

In order to “enjoy” all of this, of course, no one will oblige you to set Yandex as the default search, it all depends on you. But why resist rationality?

Money Finder



Perhaps the title is too ambitious, nevertheless it is not devoid of the veracity of the sound. After all, Yandex.Money is a kind of Internet currency. By opening and replenishing your own wallet, you can make purchases, pay for services or simply collect virtual funds, which, at your request, can turn into real banknotes at any time. Again, not for bragging: have you heard about Google dollars?

Want a personal Yandex?

Probably, not every user has a properly organized storage of personal data. That is, the files are located in specifically structured folders, the properties of which contain a brief description and keywords. Perhaps you have repeatedly encountered some inconvenience expressed by a protracted search for the necessary information “in the bowels” of your own computer? But your PC is far from the Internet. However, in such a situation will help you special program  “Personal search”. Of course, this product can be downloaded absolutely free.

If Yandex is the default search engine, then you won’t be bored. Congratulate relatives and friends, send an original postcard. In order to do this, just go to the appropriate resource directory and select the sample you like. Well, if you want to make an extravagant surprise, arrange a booklet with wishes yourself. The Yandex.Kraski service will help you with this. If you want to declare your photogenicity - feel free to place your portfolio in the “Photos” section.

To summarize

Do not doubt the obvious superiority of the Yandex resource. After all, the scale of the project is a consequence of user demand. Of course, some facts of obsession can be seen in company policy. But is it really “aggressive” software?

However, this is the material of a separate review. Runet users - Yandex!
