What is Yandex Browser

Yandex. Browser was developed by Yandex on the basis of the WebKit software engine, for which most web sites have been adapted today. This relatively recent internet viewer now competes successfully with Avant Browser, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and other popular browsers.

To search, you can use both a regular search box and previously open tabs and sections

Both the developers of web scripts (ready-made engines for quick site deployment, as, for example, on the WordPress service known to all bloggers), and the creators of small-page business card sites, for the deployment of which, only need basic knowledge of the HTML language, are guided by the WebKit technology.

Features of "Yandex Browser"

What are the main features of Yandex Browser that distinguish it from competitors? Note the following:

1. Improved search bar "Yandex", called the developers "Smart Line". If, for example, you want to get an answer to the question "how to kiss correctly", then Yandex Browser will offer you several common query options, based on general search statistics.

   

   Requests are selected on any device in the same way: the same as on the site yandex.ru

2. The "Zen" section, which automatically composes and updates all kinds of subscriptions and is based on the individual statistics of the user's web surfing.

   

   The selection "Zen" takes into account the personal statistics of searches for a particular user

3. When you first enter any site with a password, Yandex Browser will offer not only to save the password in Windows, but also to synchronize passwords to logins on the sites. For example, if you have forgotten the passwords for your pages in social networks, then even after reinstalling Windows and Yandex Browser, all previously saved logins and passwords will be loaded.

Why you need to update Yandex. Browser

Regular updating of any browser, including Yandex. Browser, is necessary, as this results in:

• support of the most modern technologies underlying web programming and website page design;
• protection against dangerous content: viruses, spyware, illegal / semi-legal advertisements, etc.;
• Support for the latest personal data encryption algorithms to protect against interception by intruders.

To make sure that updates are needed, try to find and install the very first version of Yandex. Browser. You will immediately find that not all social media and portal functions will work correctly. In addition, if the site is well known (for example, a news portal) and implemented correctly, then you will receive a message that your browser is out of date.

How to identify and update the version of "Yandex Browser"

There are several ways to update Yandex. Browser:

• via the program interface of the Yandex Browser itself;
• through the Yandex portal.

Updating by means of the Yandex Browser itself

This browser is aimed at making life as simple as possible for its users, so you can even update it straight from the program:

1. Enter the Yandex Browser menu, select the Additional section, and then - About the browser. The Yandex Browser application will automatically inform you about the availability of the latest update, if any.

   

   Information about the current version of Yandex Browser will be displayed

2. A new window will display the number of the current version of Yandex Browser and the line “Checking for updates” will appear. If a new version of the program has been released, a notification will appear about the availability of the latest version with a link (or button) to start the update.

   

   Wait until the end of the search for an updated version of the browser

3. If updates are found, Yandex Browser will download and launch the latest version of the YandexBrowser installation package. Updates will take effect after restarting the browser.

   

   After the update is complete, close the tab with information about the successful installation

4. After installing the update, a notification line will appear in the "About" tab: "You are using the latest version of Yandex Browser."

If your computer is running Windows 2000 or XP, then the next time you search for updates, a message may appear stating that the current version of Windows is no longer supported.

If you wish, you can turn off the automatic updating of Yandex Browser.

Updating Yandex. Browser from the Yandex portal

The Yandex portal offers to replace the existing version of Yandex Browser with a new one by installing it “over” the existing one.

To accomplish this, do the following:

1. Go to the section of the site "Yandex" - browser.yandex.ru.

   

   Download the browser from browser.yandex.ru

2. Click the Computer tab and then the Download button. Confirm to save the installation file. The new version of Yandex Browser will be downloaded to your PC.

   

   To download, click the save file button

3. Run the downloaded file YandexBrowser.exe and select the installation options.

   

   Check the options you want and click the get started button

Problems updating Yandex. Browser

Problems that may arise when updating Yandex. Browser are divided into two categories:

• no website opens;
• the application version cannot be updated.

Problems associated with the inability to open sites

If the browser does not open sites, then you need to check the functionality of the Internet connection and the correct operation of some programs that affect the connection speed. To do this, do the following:

1. Make sure that the cable is connected to the LAN port of the PC or laptop, the ADSL or ONT modem is turned on, and the provider's cable is connected to the WAN port in the router. All the necessary cables of network devices are connected to the back of the router, and in front there is a display panel for operating modes.

   

   Make sure all cables are connected to the correct connectors on the router

2. Make sure that the power of the router is turned on (the power adapter is connected, its plug is inserted into the Power connector) and the device is operating normally (the “Power”, “Settings”, Wi-Fi or LAN and “Internet access” indicators are on).

   

   Power, Wi-Fi or LAN cable and Internet access indicators should be on

3. If you are using a 4G modem, check if its connector is plugged into the USB port of the router and if you are in an area with reliable coverage of your cellular operator.

   

   4G modems are connected to the USB port

4. When using a 4G / Wi-Fi wireless pocket router, check for 4G network. Each manufacturer has a different character of the glow of the "cellular" indicator on the device: for example, continuous glow in Huawei products and rare blinking in ZTE models.

   

   The ZTE MF90 + router informs about the connection to the 4G network with a blue glow of the right indicator

5. Make sure your internet plan is paid and valid. This is true for both cable and 4G connections.

6. Check the IP connection settings. Obtaining an IP address on a PC should occur automatically at the beginning of each communication session. To do this, in Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 go to the command "Start - Control Panel - Network and Sharing Center - Change adapter settings", right-click on your connection (Wi-Fi or cable connection) and open "Properties - Network". Highlight your IPv4 connection and open Properties. Enable Auto Obtain IP / DNS Addresses, close all windows by clicking OK, and restart Windows.

   

   If there are no static IPs, enable automatic address acquisition

7. Temporarily disable the proxy server setting in Yandex Browser. Go to "Menu - Settings - Show advanced settings", and then click the "Change proxy server settings" button. Remove the IP address of the broken proxy by enabling the "Do not use proxy server" option.

Problems related to the inability to start and complete the update

If the Internet connection works fine, but the browser cannot be updated, then the cause of this may be virus activity on the PC or laptop. Viruses can prevent any program from being updated at all. They, in particular, are able to clone Winwows processes many times, taking up the entire amount of the computer's RAM and "overwhelming" the processor's speed. Checking the status of processes is easy by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del keys, opening Task Manager and going to the Processes tab. To protect against viruses, use antivirus software from reputable developers, such as Panda, Avast, Kaspersky software or NOD32.

One of the SVCHost processes clearly takes more memory than it really needs

How to roll back a Yandex Browser update

Returning an old version of Yandex Browser is a task that can be solved in different ways. In particular, the following alternatives are possible:

• rollback via the general browser settings menu:
• rollback through the standard Windows System Restore feature.

Rollback through the general browser settings menu

In the browser menu, go to the "Settings" section and in the appearance settings, click the "Turn off the new interface" button.

The "Disable new interface" button will remove functions that have changed during the last browser update

There are also options for displaying more detailed settings, such as the operation of the "Smart Line", visual presentation for the opened pages, etc. Check and remove those that you do not use.

Rollback through Windows System Restore

Restore or "Rollback" Windows 10 - a tool that affects the main system folders: Windows, Program Files (folder of third-party programs and shared Windows components), Registry (hidden registry folder), Recycled (hidden folder "Trash") and Users (all user folders, except for the "Documents" folder and some hidden cache subfolders). The contents of all these folders are constantly monitored by the Windows Regular Background Copy Service. Therefore, System Restore will completely restore Yandex Browser to the version it was at when the last restore point was created.

Follow these steps:

1. Click on "Start" and on "Control Panel".

   

   Select Windows Control Panel

2. Go to "System and Security".

   

   Go to Windows Security Settings

3. Open the Windows 10 system subkey.

   

   Go directly to Windows 10 settings

4. Go to the "System Protection" submenu.

   

   Windows Protection Settings contains System Restore Management

5. On the System Protection tab, click the Configure button.

   

   Enter Windows recovery settings to set system rollback options

6. Check if "Turn on system protection" is enabled. After checking, close this window by clicking OK.

   

   Make sure the disk space allocated for system recovery is free

7. Return to the "System Protection" tab and click on "Restore".

8. In the Windows 10 Recovery Wizard that starts, click on the "Next" button.

   

   Click on the "Next" button to proceed to restore the previous state of Windows

9. In the list of restore points, select the one you want.

   

   Select the date and time to which you want to roll back Windows

10. You can check if Yandex Browser is included in the list of applications affected by recovery. If not, return to the previous wizard window ("Back" button) and select any of the restore points adjacent to the previously specified. When you find Yandex Browser in the list of any of the restore points, click the Finish button to start the Windows rollback process.

    

    Confirm to start System Restore

Windows will be rolled back at the time the restore point was formed. This will restore the previous version of Yandex. Browser.

After the next update, some users may not like the new version of Yandex. Browser, both because of purely taste preferences (wrong options, buttons and switches are located in the wrong place), and because of errors and shortcomings in the new version, such as sudden closure browser without saving cache, disappearing tabs and history of actions. In this case, you can always revert to the previous version. However, regular browser updates still need to be carried out, since this fixes errors and opens up new opportunities for working on the Internet.
