Yandex Browser syncing between devices

Syncing refers to the exchange of data between Yandex Browsers on your devices. Data is stored temporarily on the Yandex server and transmitted over a secure channel. Passwords are transmitted in encrypted format. Data on the server is protected by the authorization system used on Yandex services. Syncing allows you to access data from all your devices and restore data if your device is lost or broken.

On mobile devices, the browser syncs with itself and with the Yandex app.

How syncing works

, bookmarks, passwords, input forms, open tabs, cloud tab groups and history.

After you enable syncing, data will be synced each time you change data that is stored on the server. For example: When you add a bookmark to your tablet, the browser sends it to the server and simultaneously downloads all of the changes that you made on other devices (starting from the time when the last synchronization was performed).

Syncing lets you:

• configure Yandex Browser the same way on all your devices;
• recover passwords, card information, tabs, and input forms even if your device breaks down;
• view open tabs, cloud tab groups, and bookmarks on synced devices;
• use form autofill and history on synced devices.

You can disable syncing or change the list of data you want to sync.
