Test if I know Yandex browser well. New Yandex browser - pros and cons. Unpleasant features of the browser from Yandex (browser "Internet") Is Yandex a browser

Under the proud name Yandex.Internet. The browser is based on chromium browser, and therefore open source.

The daily audience of this browser is not that small: Chrome (Yandex) 1,027,563 1.3%

Now let's remember a few scandals related to the "leak" of data on the Internet, namely shopping lists in intimate stores, data of sold tickets and SMS from a megaphone, and see what you can find about this in the license agreement of this browser. And maybe after that all the questions about how this could have ended up in public accesswill disappear by themselves.

6.3. The User is hereby notified and agrees that when using the Program, the Copyright Holder in automatic mode the following information is transmitted anonymously (without binding to the User): type operating system the User's computer, the version and identifier of the Program, statistics on the use of the functions of the Program, as well as other technical information.

What is "technical information"? Is the session number technical information? By comparison, Google in its user agreements lists everything he collects , and there are no other technical information phrases.

3.1.1. Use the Program for its direct functional purpose, for the purpose of which to copy and install (reproduce) it on the personal computer (s) of the User. The User has the right to install the Program on an unlimited number of personal computers. When installed on personal Computer each copy of the Program is assigned individual number, which is automatically reported to the Copyright Holder.

Is the program number technical information?

We read further paragraphs 5.1-5.7. They are long, but the meaning can be formulated very briefly:
by default, everything that happens inside the browser is transmitted to Yandex servers, including the entered texts (except for passwords), URLs of the pages viewed, page content, etc.

This can be turned off, but did those whose data floated to the network know about it? And would they have enough computer skills to do this?

In addition, it is extremely interesting:
1. Are credit card numbers also transferred to Yandex servers?
2. and phone numbers?
3.And unique pages generated when sending SMS or for shopping lists in online stores?

And when you browse the site of state services, will all the content of the pages and what is entered will be transmitted to the Yandex servers?

But that's not all! In your load, without the possibility of failure, they will install software of unknown purpose, the list of which you do not know when signing this user agreement:

5.11. The User is hereby notified and agrees that when the Program is installed, additional components (buttons) for the Program will be automatically selected and installed, interacting with popular social networks, postal services and other tools, while such selection is carried out completely automatically and without transferring data outside the User's computer.

Well, about the open source of the browser (and some components were under the GPL). He stayed with the progenitor:

4. Limitations

4.1. Except for use in the volumes and in the ways expressly provided for by this License or the legislation of the Russian Federation, the User has no right to change, decompile, disassemble, decrypt and perform other actions with the object code of the Program in order to obtain information about the implementation of the algorithms used in the Program, create derivatives works using the Program, as well as to carry out (authorize) other use of the Program, without the written consent of the Copyright Holder.

PS: For yandex bar

Yandex browser is developed by source code Chromium is based on the WebKit engine, which makes it very similar to. However, we have found many advantages that can put the program from Russian developers head and shoulders above the popular counterparts.

Strengths

Integration

The main feature of this internet explorer is its integration with Yandex services itself. Search engine, cloud storage, maps, language translations, mail and other services are located on the toolbar and are invoked with one click. Also, some will find useful add-ons for the Yandex browser - services like weather forecast or traffic jams.

Integrated technologies can be considered a big "plus" for users Adobe Flash to watch videos and Adobe reader - for reading PDF files.

Synchronization

At any time, you can continue web surfing started on a laptop - on a tablet or smartphone. Bookmarks and browsing history are automatically transferred when you launch the browser on another device.

Safety

The protection system it possesses is a separate reason for the pride of Russian developers. The company's programmers have combined innovative technologies of anti-virus attacks and anti-spam with the achievements of Kaspersky Lab. When the pages are loaded, they are immediately scanned for malicious code, and the files are scanned for a potential threat of computer infection. In addition, the authors have implemented antispam and data thief detector.

Speed

Like the developers, the creators of J. Browser implemented the Turbo mode in the program, which allows you to speed up the loading of images, videos and other media content at a slow speed of the Internet connection. The results for queries in the omnibox even before pressing Enter are also worth considering. You will just start typing "weather in Tel Aviv" or "ruble exchange rate", as you will immediately see the answers.

Miniatures

With all this, the browser interface looks surprisingly minimalist. As its creators assure, they sought to eliminate elements that distract users and scatter attention. Here you can also test a small innovation and get a scoreboard. This means that when we open a new tab, we are given a scoreboard in which we can pin eight popular tabs.

Moreover, unlike other reviewers, in J. Browser you will see recognizable site logos, not screenshots of recent visits. This allows you to navigate the visual bookmarks much faster. And also - you can swap the places of the thumbnails yourself (which, by the way, is not available, for example, in Chrome - there they are arranged according to the frequency of visits). In addition, the "Forward" arrow was removed from the browser window; it appears only when the page is already open.

Tabs

Have you often noticed that when you open new tab from a YouTube video in Chrome and Firefox, it automatically starts playing. But this is not very convenient if you were going to watch the video later? So - in the browser we are considering, everything is thought out. You can open the video link in a new tab and playback will not start until you activate this tab.

Weak sides

On sim praises let me finish and go to the very "fly in the ointment." Users who have already tried new browserhave mixed opinions. Along with the positive characteristics, Yandex browser grabbed a share of criticism. Reviews of active users of Runet, who expressed dissatisfaction about this, were mainly as follows:

Interface

The address bar, outlined in a poisonous yellow outline, seems too bright to some. However, you can get rid of the frame by going to the Yandex Browser settings. In general, a number of users reacted positively to the ideology of minimalism. In their opinion, other browsers do have unnecessary buttons and bookmarks.

Who are you from the main characters of the popular animated series now?

Hello dear readers of the blog site. If you are not familiar yet, then I want to present you one of the most popular online servicerunet called Yandex. It has existed since 1996 and at the dawn of its formation it was exclusively only.

Let's postpone the question “what is Yandex today” a bit, but let's talk about where this strange name came from. Why Yandex? There are several interpretations on this matter, and they all answer the question posed.

True, only one of them reflects the real course of thinking of the author of this super popular now word, which was one of the founding fathers of this search engine - Ilya Segalovich (unfortunately, he left us in the middle of last year).

Why is Yandex called Yandex?

In the above photo, he is on the far left. Next to him is his colleague and the second thoroughly Yandex - Arkady Volozh. Well, on the right are Sergey Brin and Larry Page -. This photo was taken at the beginning of this century, when google planned to buy our domestic search engine and its leaders came to Russia for negotiations, but the deal never took place.

So, Ilya faced a difficult task - choose a name for the future search engine (not yet available on the Internet at that time) and at the same time not hit your face in the dirt. The search keyword index was taken as a basis (read about how the index is important for them, and what it is all about).

It was decided that the word-forming phrase would be “yet another indexer”, which means “another indexer”. In general, quite modestly and without any applications for future overwhelming success. English language then in Russia there was "" and, naturally, the search engine originally got its name in the Latin alphabet: YANDEX (Yet Another iNDEXer).

However, the main feature of Yandex at that time (and even now) was that it searches for answers on the Internet. In addition to him, at that time it was only done, which now is no longer a full-fledged search engine. In general, the founding fathers decided that it was necessary to add the Russian letter I instead of the English Y at the beginning and it turned out ЯNDEX... This could already be interpreted as the Language INDEX.

At the time, its main page looked like this (designed by Themes by Lebedev):

In 2008, the fashion for spelling company names with Latin letters faded away and ЯNDEX began to be called simply Yandex.

There are several more interpretations, why Yandex is called Yandex, and despite the fact that they are quite logical and laconic, they appeared after the approval of the official name. I have already mentioned one of them - Language iNDEX.

Well, the second one says that if you take the first letter "I" in the word index and, then you will get the pronoun "I" - hence YNDEX. The version is beautiful, but somewhat different from what happened in reality.

What is Yandex and what is it today?

As I already mentioned, at the dawn of its formation, this online service was exclusively a search engine. He is still it, and his share on the Russian Internet market is very significant and amounts to more than sixty percent.

But time passed and everything changed. With each new year of its existence, Yandex has acquired more and more new services and capabilities. Some of them have survived to our time unchanged, some have changed, merged or even closed, such as.

Now, if you are looking for a product, you probably turn to in order to choose the store that is optimal for the price and reviews. If you are going somewhere, then go to the display of the traffic situation (traffic jams).

For many, this online service has become the portal from which they begin their daily surfing on the Internet. This is especially convenient because, like the desktop in Windows, it has the ability to add widgets, customize appearance through the use of themes, as well as from it, all other services of this mega-portal are available.

So what is Yandex? In one word, you will not answer. Let me list all the services collected under his wing, which I had a chance to write about in detail. Probably, it will be much easier and clearer this way.

- unlike Google, the Runet mirror initially decided to use its main (start) page for the convenience of users.
Well, by analogy with the Passport was introduced, which is valid throughout all the domains of this search engine.
- the place where all site owners add their resources to keep track of their indexing and visibility in this search engine.
- probably the second most popular after payment system in runet. Although, if we take into account, it turns out that the third.
- here you can order advertising of your goods or services on the search pages (advertising is displayed at the top or bottom of the search results).
- a very popular service among Russians, because it provides information about traffic jams, allows you to plan routes and create your own (folk) maps.
is the flip side of Yandex.Direct. The fact is that Yandex has a streamlined system for working with contextual advertisingso why should he be limited to his own SERPs (search results page)?
In general, if you have your own website with daily traffic of more than or equal to 300 unique visitors per day, then register with the Profit Partner (the official service center of YAN partners) and earn, receive prizes and partner rewards... Without a bulldozer - this.
- a system that differs from a similar Google tool (Analytics) in that it has an intuitive and elegant interface, and is also easy to learn.
- on the Russian Internet market it successfully competes with, and attracts some of the users from Dzhimale.
In terms of functionality, the new incarnation of Yandex Mail is not much inferior to the latter, and in some aspects even surpasses. For example, there is a free opportunity to get what Google now costs a small penny ().
- file storage, which is designed to become a real alternative to Dropbox (read about that) or.
- a new service offering users a fresh selection of materials on topics of interest to them. The selection is generated automatically based on the preferences of each specific user. Read more about the service at the link provided.
- the search engine of any SMS on which your site will work will always be worse than this tool... Therefore, do not apply it to install, well, or its analog from Google.
- these are not services, but important tools with which a company estimates the static weight of all indexed documents, and ordinary users can estimate the price for which it is worth selling or buying links from certain sites (read about, eternal links or)
- deceased in Bose (or rather in Yukose) free builder of folk sites. Previously, it was not possible to create free sites or store and transfer files ( last function The Disk described just above took over)
- a fairly popular add-on over browsers, which, however, is much more needed by the search engine itself than by users (setting the default search, home page, collecting user preferences, etc.).
Yes, all this is not as aggressively implemented as in, but there is something in common.
- before a similar thing was in the Opera (express panel), but thanks to our hero, now these bookmarks can be used in any browser (installed).
- made on the same engine as Google Chrome, but has a number of individual features that competitors do not have.
- a set of buttons for adding announcements of articles on the site to popular social networks... The statistics of this block can be tracked in Metrica.
- this is not a service or a tool, but simply a statement that this search engine is not yet capable of real-time and updates search results discretely at certain unequal time intervals, which are usually called apom.
- can search not only by words or phrases entered into the search bar, but also to carry out which you download from your computer or specify its location on the Internet.
- online service is similar.
- well, of course, this is far from Google translate, but it also gives a very good translation, albeit in a much smaller number of languages.
- will help you measure the speed of the Internet channel you are using.
- the service is very convenient and quite claims to be the best in runet.
- the most popular directory of sites on the entire Russian Internet, but, unfortunately, not everyone can get there even on a paid basis.
- the first assistant to those who have already mastered, because it allows you to collect, then to write articles for them.
- a very specific thing that cannot be explained in a nutshell, but you can read the article given here.

I think that now, at least in general terms, it has become clear to you what Yandex is and how great and powerful it is. Thanks.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog site pages

Gestures

One of the most important features of J. Browser for me is support for gestures with a mouse, or, in my case, a touchpad. With gestures, you can walk back and forth through history, reload, open, reopen and close tabs. All this is an ordinary programmer (and sometimes an unusual user) makes all known combinations of the Alt button with arrows or the Control button with letters. However, when you scroll the page, then in order to close it or reload it, or go back, you don't really want to reach for some buttons.

Macos users probably find it funny to read this, but Windows support for gestures on the touchpad is extremely bad, and the fact that it is implemented specifically in the browser (which means you don't need to fuck with the drivers for the touchpad, etc.) is insanely cool and convenient. In general, this was the reason for my transition to this browser.

"Back"

Unlike everyone else, the guys at Yandex use their own browser themselves, and they know that the "Back" button is an important thing that should always go back. Therefore, if someone throws something to me in Skype, or I open a link from the mail, then I do not need to look for the window in which I was before. I just need to press the "Back" button (or use a gesture!), And it will open itself.

Moreover. There is another important feature that others lack. If I open a link in a new tab (Control + click), then she knows where it was opened from, and therefore I can click on “Back” in it and get access to the page from which I opened it. If you actively use Google, then you understand why this is useful.

Supplements

The browser comes with a bundle of add-ons that really make sense. This is not just a set of advertising pieces that the company obliges you to use because they were brought in. For example, here is a list of the default add-ons that I use:

FriGate - smart proxy for all sorts of rutrackers and other lurks;
Turbo - automatic compression of traffic, if the speed is very low (with mobile internet, eg);
Synchronization and backup - everything is clear here;
Pocket - to postpone articles for later;
Yandex.Market Advisor - an extension that saved me a hundred times when some M.Video wanted to sell me a product 15-20% more expensive than it is in other stores;
Music control panel - the coolest add-on that manages all musical activity (even more about it below);
Anti-shock, Blocking flash banners and videos - in addition to my μBlock and Ghostery.

In addition, I have a dozen more, however, when I set up a browser for someone, all I have to do is download μBlock, because the rest is already in the browser.

Music control panel

A mega-cool addition from Yandex, which they, apparently, initially sawed only for their service Ya.Muzyka, and then expanded on everything they could get to. Thus, it can be used to control the most famous sound sources in your browser. For example, for me it now looks like this:

As you can see, I can turn on Ya Radio from here, and the music from VK will be automatically paused. Moreover, I can go back and forth through the playlist in all these services. And, most importantly to me, I can do it at the global keyboard shortcut level. Yes, when I play KSS once every hundred years, this is how I manage music :)

Naturally, the app is smart, and if you open a YouTube video, it pauses the current audio source and all. In general, for this, just a giant respect to Yandexoids. It's even cooler than gestures. Switch, stop / start, like a track without switching the code editor - you can kill for that. The extension is rumored to be found in the Chrome app store :)

Files

It's very short here: I use the browser as an electronic reader (epub and fb2) and don't regret it. And at the same time, I can open documents, spreadsheet files, presentations and all this here. It is often faster than opening Microsoft office products, especially when you just need to take a look.

Other nishtyaks

There are too many goodies, so just a list about the rest:

built-in translator that can translate part of the page, and not all at once;
if necessary, page search takes into account the morphology, that is, by entering "window", you can find both "at the window" and "in front of the window";
on popular sites in search bar links to important sections appear (for example, "Payment and delivery" in stores - the same fire);
warnings about the use of open WiFi and automatic activation of encryption for it (useful for your relatives, you are smart, I remember);
warnings about fraudulent sites, about pages that will subscribe you to any SMS mailing, meticulous (in a good way) safe mode for online banking (and this is for relatives, of course).

The most important thing is all Chromium. That is, in Ya Browser I have all the same development tools that are in Chrome. I have never come across bugs specifically in J. Browser, because this, in principle, cannot be. Although I have heard legends about them, and not a little. But so far none have been confirmed.

Honesty

This is perhaps what most IT companies in Russia lack. Honesty with the user. Yandex has it. If you are not in the know, then on any page of Yandex search results, you can scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "Google" link, for example. And that will open up the Google SERP for you for your request.

The same is here. Yandex is not Mail. Their browser is honestly installed, honestly configured, honestly uninstalled (burn in hell, Amigo!). And, which may seem surprising to someone, it is not necessary to use Yandex in it. In general, no one at the sight of my browser understands what it is, because the "Me" button is disabled in the settings, and the default search is in Google.

Responsiveness

I love Yandex support. They are cool. For all the time of my use of their services, I have sent more than a hundred letters to it for a long time. And they answer each of them, remind about each of them. With my participation, 3-4 small bugs in the browser were closed, I was one of those who asked to finish the music control so that it would work in the new VK interface, I sent them an uncountable number of emails about bugs in Ya. Mail. And all my problems were always solved. This is really cool.

Interface

The only thing I don't like is new interface Yandex Browser. Here he did not take root with me and that's it. It doesn't look very good on my screen, but fortunately, you can still use the classic version. I firmly believe that they will not take it away from me, because sometimes it even seems to me that it works faster, and speed is what is especially important in work.

Other than that, I'm not sure your browser is as cool as mine.

In 2015, Yandex browser was installed by 6.29% of Runet users, and in 2017 this share was 15.41%. (OpenStat)

Moreover, the famous Google chrome also all this time it has been increasing its share (now 56% in Runet), but at the expense of other browsers, not Yandex.

Why do people choose Yandex browser and sometimes even think that it is better than Google Chrome? Or does Yandex just "force" users to switch to it?

In this article, let's take a look at the reviews and opinions, specifications, well, I will express my personal opinion about this "browser".

Yandex browser initially used the Blink engine on the basis of which many other browsers work, including Chrome and Opera after version 15.

So, in fact, Yandex Browser is not that much different from others in terms of functionality, when you install it, you in many ways don't even feel that something has changed, everything will be immediately intuitive in terms of the interface.

However, some things will be new to you, so today I first installed Yandex Browser (I have been using Google Chrome for many years, after Opera) and decided to look at it as new user... Well, I also read a lot of reviews and comparisons of it with Google Chrome, which we will also talk about.

There is one more reason to install a browser from Yandex, any webmaster must sometimes check how his site looks and works on other devices, as well as how it works and looks on other browsers. If there is a share of Janedx Browser, then some people may see some other site in general in case of some errors and sometimes it is worth correcting something taking into account other systems.

Therefore, for a webmaster, it is worth installing a Yandex browser at least to see how their website works in it.

Search engine battle

We'll start with the obvious. Search engines (Google / Yandex) impose their products on users, including browsers. This is so obvious that I think it is useless to try to avoid this moment and keep it quiet.

Both search engines do this in an extremely disgusting way.

When you are in Chrome and if you go to Yandex, they will constantly tell you to make Yandex the main search, as well as offer to install the Yandex browser. But Google does the same, for example, when you go to the Google translator (translate.google), the same habits begin there too - install our products.

Few of the users will like it, but no one has canceled the war between the search engines of Yandex and Google for Runet, browsers in this war are the most important weapon. Whoever has a browser has a user in the search engine.

January 2010, Yandex's share of 47.6% in search. Google - 39.74% ()

January 2017, Yandex's share of 47.75% in search. Google - 46.71%

Yandex holds its positions, but Google is winning confidently by squeezing out its share, although more due to other little-known search engines (Mail.ru, Rambler, Bing).

Google wins almost all over the world, and indeed national search engines is not everywhere, but only in a few countries, but even there Google wins.

Perhaps this is due to the invariable ease of Google and the minimalist design, perhaps Yandex went somewhere in the wrong place, having placed many of its services and other elements in the search, but my personal opinion, in terms of the quality of search in Russian, Yandex is at least as good as Google. and sometimes even surpasses.

Yandex also plays an important role for a webmaster or copywriter.

Most people check the frequency of queries by wordstat.yandex.ru, as a result, the top is checked by Yandex.

If you make an article well for Yandex, you can be sure that it will fit well under Google, it's just that links are more important in Google, and PF in Yandex.

Yandex Browser or Google Chrome: which one is better?

There is quite good comparison of Yandex and Google browsers, you can read the link, there is exactly what the technical points were compared.

Here I will give only some excerpts and theses:

Browser launch speed is almost the same;
Chrome's page loading speed is slightly faster;
The use of RAM is practically the same;
Browser settings are similar, but Yandex has even a little more;
Customization - Yandex Browser is slightly stronger;
Support for add-ons, Chrome is slightly better, but Yandex has built-in ones and some more from Opera;
Privacy - both browsers are likely collecting your personal data;
User protection - Yandex Browser is slightly better;
Browser Design - Yandex Browser is better customizable.

As you can see, Yandex Browser is not so bad in many respects, but in general, in general, browsers are extremely similar to each other.

Personal impressions

Today I have installed Yandex Browser for the first time after many years in Chrome and will tell you about my personal impressions. In general, they are positively neutral.

In general, almost everything in the browser is customizable and it's nice.

But immediately and a jamb, I can not find my blog in the feed, although I was added there and it would seem, well, who needs to recommend a blog site through Zen in the first place, if not me? But no, for some reason he is not there, although before I noticed him in the tape.

This is not quite the topic, but everything is exactly strange and bad. Although there were 160 visitors from there in a month, the traffic quality is low, but it will go.

Visually, Yandex Browser is quite itself

I don’t like the Yandex home page, and I don’t like the fact that they embed the news feed everywhere, but that’s how Mail.Ru does it. and google on your phone. Now I have some kind of constant spam on my phone with news from Google / Android.

The ad block for Yandex browser is built-in and is already there, but Google is only planning to build it into its browser.

Site view in Yandex Browser

Compare with Google Chrome:

Site view in Google Chrome

The button "go to Yandex search" is disabled if you want.

Well, it's clear that if you search through the address bar, different browsers will search in their search, this is kind of obvious.

Also, plus one more thing, Yandex Browser will not annoy people if there is no HTTPS on the site, but Chrome can annoy. Google is forcing everyone to replace SSL.

All browsers nowadays are free, the paid version of Yandex Browser does not exist, but there is only a free version.

What else? Yandex smart search works pretty cool, which complements the query for you. Yes, even sometimes better than Google, according to my feelings. This is if you type into Yandex Browser through the address bar.

Personally, I have had a serious problem with Chrome for a long time, namely, the consumption of RAM. The computer is not the newest and even a few browser tabs are already eating memory like hippos. Unfortunately, Yandex Browser is waiting the same way, as it is the same engine.

Now, if Yandex Browser had somehow solved this problem, it would have been a serious competitive advantage, but with the same engine as in Chrome, this cannot be done, and if they write on their own, it will probably work slower.

Here are some general impressions I, in general, did not notice the key and root differences, all the different ones are small in my opinion. A curious thing is mouse control, you can hold down the right button and do some actions, it is convenient.

Here are a few more arguments purely for Yandex Browser, here I will copy the answer of one person who understands this:

Protection from wap-click. it paid servicesthat connect simply by clicking on the "Watch" or "Download" button https://habrahabr.ru/company/yandex/blog/273385/

Built-in DNScrypt technology. Encrypts requests to the DNS server, and you can choose a third-party server for this, and not your provider. https://habrahabr.ru/company/yandex/blog/280380/

Yandex Browser is the only browser for Android that supports Chrome extensions. Not all, of course, but many work. https://habrahabr.ru/company/yandex/blog/309014/

When connected to open Wi-Fi points encrypts HTTP traffic. Useful from shkolota with sniffers, bad admins and fake points. https://habrahabr.ru/company/yandex/blog/267013/

The page search takes into account the morphology of the Russian language. Useful when you know what you want to find, but you don't remember exact shape the words. https://habrahabr.ru/company/yandex/blog/198866/

Omnibox normally understands the wrong layout and is generally very different from the analog in Chromium. Comparison: https://yandex.ru/blog/company/80546

Where to more settings for tabs than in Chromium: https://browser.yandex.ru/blog/vkladki-v-yandeks-brauzere

The Android version is able to transfer its cache to an SD card.

Extensions: Simultaneous support for both Chrome Web Store and Opera Addons. It is convenient if the extension is removed from one directory.

Oh yes, I also use mouse gestures.

There are no perfect browsers. Even the seemingly most powerful, fastest and most popular browser can in fact crash and be subject to glitches and errors. And Yandex browser is no exception in this case. Users quite often face a problem when the Yandex browser does not work, does not want to start, or simply does not open the pages. Let's figure out what to do in this case and how to eliminate such errors and make sure that they do not pop up in the future.

In general, there can be a lot of reasons why the browser from the popular Russian search engine stopped starting. But we will only consider those due to which it does not work most often. And they, in principle and almost always, are the cause of a program failure. And we will try to solve the errors that prevent you from using all the possibilities of the world wide web normally.

Why Yandex Browser doesn't work?

Normal program crash.
Malicious programs that prevent it from working properly.
The use by other programs of a large amount of the computer's RAM.
Operating system malfunctions.
Corrupted files.
Problems with temporary files in the registry.
Outdated browser version.

And so, we figured out the problems. Now you can proceed directly to their solution.

This option can only be effective in cases where a temporary program failure has occurred. Then you can simply reboot the system and the problem will fix itself. Alternatively, the method can be useful when the program is frozen. In short, in this way you can only solve an error that arose due to system overload, or the failure of program files.

If the problem lies much deeper, then you will have to resort to more complex and radical methods of treating browser ailments.

Removing viruses

Very often, the Yandex browser does not start due to the fact that the computer was infected with malware that prevents the application from starting normally. Such a virus can be caught very easily, especially if you do not have an antivirus installed or disabled, which does not give a threat to penetrate the system and harm it. Although in some cases, even antivirus does not help, because every day many new viruses and Trojans come out and spread, which he has not yet learned to recognize.

If, nevertheless, you fell for the bait of hackers and accidentally downloaded a Trojan to your computer and your browser stopped starting, then you need to immediately scan your computer for viruses. And if they are found, delete them immediately. Then restart the system and try to open the Yandex browser again. If it starts, then the problem is fixed. If not, then go to the next possible problem and trying to remove it.

Other programs use a lot of RAM

Another reason why the browser from Yandex flatly refuses to open is the lack of RAM and processor memory. What does it mean? Simply put - there are too many programs and applications installed on your computer that mercilessly "eat" rAM... And when it is not enough, Windows simply physically cannot run the program, because there is absolutely no room left for it.

This problem is solved in a very trivial and simple way. All you need to do is disable programs that use a lot of RAM. This can be done by going to the Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and remove certain programs from the list. Better yet, disable them so that you do not have to perform this action every time you start the computer, that is, the computer.

Flushing the DNS cache

This method turns out to be very effective in most cases and almost always allows you to get rid of the problem of Yandex Browser inoperability. Various static routes can be stored in the DNS cache, as a result of which the browser stops working normally and refuses to start, or starts to slow down very much and does not want to load any pages. Clearing it fixes all these errors and returns the browser to normal operation.

How to clear the cacheDNS:

That's it, clearing the cache is complete. To check if this fixes the problem, launch your browser. But before that it is recommended to restart Windows. If it opens, then everything is fine, the error is removed. If not, then you will still have to "conjure" to achieve the desired result and bring the Yandex browser to full performance.

We clean the registry

Didn't all of the above help? Don't despair, there are still ways that can help you get your browser back on track. One of these is cleaning up registry files.

Registry files can be damaged if you close the program incorrectly, remove any important files from the folder with the browser, or an incorrect program update. And also the cause of a failure in the registry can be all the same viruses, and quite often, they penetrate the registry and even their complete removal does not give results as long as they are in the temporary files of the program.

How to clean the Yandex Browser Registry:

Check if Yandex browser is working now. Most likely, it should start without any problems.

It so happens that the website browser starts without problems, but for a very long time. This happens as often as other errors related to this browser.

If this is not enough, then check the computer for viruses, clean the cache and registry, remove the programs that consume a large number of RAM and CPU-intensive. This should be more than enough for the program to work properly.

Also, the browser may slow down, various errors may constantly appear. In all these cases, the methods described in this article will help you. If this does not help, then skip directly to the very last point in this article.
