Questions about browser settings

Instead of the start page, Yandex Browser opens either your Tableau (with your most frequently visited pages), or the tabs that were left open during your last session. To select your preferred option:

In this section, you can also set Yandex as your homepage. To do this, select the Open yandex.com if no tabs were saved option.

Resetting your browser settings means that the original settings will be restored:

• The default widgets will display on the Tableau.
• Your default search engine will be set for the SmartBox.
• All browser extensions will be disabled.
• Pinned tabs will be deleted.
• All personal information will be deleted.

To clear your browser settings:

1. Click  → Settings.
2. At the bottom of the Settings page, click Show advanced settings.
3. In the Reset settings section of the browser, click Reset settings.
4. Click Reset.

Some programs (such as chat programs, extra browser panels, and so on) may change your browser settings without asking you.

Yandex Browser tracks these changes and automatically restores the default settings. You'll see a message about this at the top of the settings page (click  → Settings):

By default, Yandex Browser doesn't use the Linux system window frame and changes control design. If you wish to restore the standard appearance of windows and controls on Linux:

1. In the SmartBox, enter browser://flags.
2. Type the #enable-system-frame flag in the search bar.
3. Select the System window controls option.
4. Relaunch the browser and check the results.
