How to work with Yandex browser for a beginner in the modern world of Internet technologies? What is a web browser Using a web browser.

Hello again, dear readers. In touch as always Roman Chueshov. And we continue to explore the Internet and today we will learn how to work with the Yandex browser. Despite the fact that this web browser has appeared relatively recently, there are many features that will be useful to the webmaster.

How to clear the cache?

Regardless of which browser you use, there is a need for regular cleaningcache. This is a folder that stores copies of various data (audio and video recordings, pictures, and others).

Of course, this can be a real plus, because when you revisit web pages, the browser will not request information from the Internet, which will increase the download speed. The question is, do you need so much "garbage" on your computer?

You can clear the cache either through the browser settings or manually. In the latter case, the path to the folder will depend on the installed operating system:

  • Windows XP– C:\Documents and Settings\Account\Local Settings\Application Data\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Cache;
  • Windows Vista – C:\Users\Account\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Cache;
  • Windows 7/8– C:\Users\Account\AppData\Local\Yandex\YandexBrowser\User Data\Default\Cache;
  • MacOS– ~/Library/Application Support/Yandex/YandexBrowser/Default/GPUCache.

If this seems too complicated for you, you can go through the settings:

How to clear cookies?

However, apart from standard files, the browser may use additional data stores. This is how information is stored on the computer for a long time. Adobe Flash Player.

Flash cookies you can clear it using interactive panels (for example, on macromedia.com). Here to open "Web Storage Options", find kiks.yandex.ru and click "Delete Website". In order not to have to repeat this too often, you can disable the storage of data. This is done through the panel. "Global Storage Options".

How to hide passwords from the browser?

If you want the browser not to remember the entered search terms, passwords and addresses of visited web pages, you should use the mode "Incognita". At the same time, Yandex will save changes made to the settings or added bookmarks. "Settings» — "Additionally""New window in incognito mode."

Activate this mode in already open window If it doesn't work, you need to create a new one by selecting the appropriate function. You will know about the successful completion of the operation by noticing the icon "Invisibles".

Hotkeys

Today we can safely say that modern users are very spoiled. They are so accustomed to the graphical interface of operating systems that they simply do not know how to control a computer without a mouse.

But what if you forgot it at home? Stop work? In fact, you can only create websites using the keyboard (you just don't know it yet). The fact is that Yandex has provided its browser with hot keys. All you need is to remember their combination. You'll be surprised how this feature helps streamline your workflow.

So, the hottest are the following keyboard shortcuts:

Create new tab ctrl+t
Close current tab Ctrl+W
Restore accidentally closed tab Ctrl+Shift+T
Add tab to bookmarks ctrl+d
Bookmark all tabs Ctrl+Shift+D
Open bookmark manager Ctrl+Shift+O
Open download history Ctrl+J
Open browsing history ctrl+h
Open new window Ctrl + N
Open a new window in incognito mode Ctrl+Shift+N
print page ctrl+p
Open page search Ctrl + F / F3
Move cursor to address bar Ctrl+K
Open page source Ctrl+U
Open settings Alt+F

Please note that you can set keyboard shortcuts yourself. This is especially useful if you frequently perform the same tasks.

Omnibox or "smart" search bar

Another useful feature for a webmaster is omnibox. It is also called a "smart" search bar, because. the browser when you enter text in the address bar begins to offer options for ending the request.

This not only helps reduce typing time (we hope you know the keyboard well and do not experience such problems?), but also see the most popular queries. In the future, this may be useful for compiling semantic core site and selection keywords.

Of course, this is not all the features of the Yandex browser.

Do you want to expand your horizons? Then subscribe to my blog and get continuous benefit and, I hope, pleasure. See you soon! Bye Bye.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Browsers are important not only for users who are looking for the fastest, most convenient and bug-free version of the Internet browser, but also for webmasters.

It's no secret that in different programs some sites can be displayed differently, and to prevent this from happening, webmasters try to use. But today I want to move away from the problems of webmastering a bit and invite you to try to evaluate the most popular known browsers together with me.

For the convenience of evaluation, I decided to divide them into two groups: popular and little-known. I will also give a general description of all the creations participating in the review with links to detailed description all their possibilities.

History and Top 5 best browsers of our time

I'll start with what is a browser and what is the history of the development of this direction software. Of course, the first browser could have been born only after . Actually, it was he who created the first browser, because without this necessary attribute, the whole meaning of his invention would lose its meaning. Let me explain my thought.

Tim Bernes-Lee developed all the technical aspects (http data exchange protocol, Html hypertext markup language, formation principles and much more). But all this would have given nothing without a program that would interpret the markup language of the pages in their display on the monitor screen.

In fact, the browser is an interpreter Html language, CSS style markup and Java scripting. Moreover, different versions some nuances may vary, which leads to the complexity of site layout. But webmasters have long learned how to get out of these situations, and in most popular browsers, all network resources are almost always displayed correctly.

The first graphical browser(it could already display not only text, lists and tables, but also pictures!) was the famous Mosaic. In fact, he became the ancestor of all modern columnists and his popularity at that time was very high. Using his code, such well-known masterpieces as Netscape and the first Internet Explorer, which, thanks to its integration with the operating Windows system and free, completely ousted the first player from the market.

However, the non-profit organization Mazila was created, which inherited source codes Netscape (actually Mosaic). But nevertheless, this company, whose name comes from a variation of the English words “kill mosaics”, completely redesigned the code of the first browser and created one of today's market leaders - Mazila Firefox.

Usually, the quality of work with a particular browser is judged by its functionality, ease of use, launch speed and speed of loading new pages (this is especially critical). Also an important aspect now is the safety of work and the stability of the program in case of any bullying. Almost all leaders meet these requirements to one degree or another.

In addition, almost everything, because any other distribution model dooms developers to failure and obscurity. As you probably remember, a very good browser called Opera, starting from the date of its birth (1995), was paid and only in 2005 there was an official opportunity to download it for free (we, dear residents of the post-Soviet space, have not waited). What did it lead to?

Opera now occupies a leading position in Runet (it was very nice to have paid program for free - if anyone remembers), well, among the tight-fisted bourgeois, the paidness of this application is still strong in memory and its share in the bourgeoisie barely exceeds a few percent. So here it is.

In fact, the nine and its followers are a ray of light among the frankly mediocre previous implementations of this mastodon. This version browser is quite stable, well protected and fast enough. But still, this version did not demonstrate any special advantages over other modern analogues, and the share of Internet Explorer in the world (and RuNet in particular) continues to decline steadily (only 25% of the entire market).

It is held only by the initial integration into all Windows versions. However, the soft ones have their own assets, for which it is simply necessary to take data on user preferences when traveling on the Internet, and for this purpose ideal solution is the browser. So I'm sure that in the new 10 Internet versions Explorer MicroSoft will push to get ahead or at least not far behind the competition.

Since 2005, Opera can be downloaded completely free of charge, but it was its payment until 2005 that played a cruel joke:

In addition to the desktop version, there are also quite popular mobile versions of the browser, which now occupy a leading position in their segment. So in the camp of the developers of this miracle, everything is not so bad.

Having appeared later than all other competitors (in 2008), Chrom took a very sharp start and overtook all other players in about four years. It has already overtaken it by a lot (42% of the entire market) and this can be considered a huge success for such a young product.

This browser is primarily distinguished by its amazing speed and reliability, which allows it not to fall even when one of the open pages or applications. Well, they complete the picture of an excellent browser.

Naturally, Chrome can be downloaded completely free of charge by accepting the terms of its use on the official website using the button just above.

Best Second Tier Browsers

Of course, there are dozens of various Internet browsers, whose fate is not as pampering as the five indicated just above. It is not possible to consider them all within the framework of this article, so I decided to focus only on those reviewers who decided to “sit on the tail” of the now super popular Chrome. Fortunately, it is based on the free WebKit engine.

    It is clear that the prototype (test stand) of Chrom called . In principle, it has a lot of the functionality of the brainchild of Google and the numbering of its versions is ahead of the versions of the fast browser in the world:

    However, Chromium is somewhat inferior to Chrome in terms of functionality, and it clearly loses to it in terms of stability, because in fact it is at the beta testing stage all the time. Probably, I would not use it as the main browser.

    Everything changed, but not one of the browsers, even after refreshing the page while holding Shift on the keyboard, did not display the changes made. I had to clear the cache and only after that everything fell into place. How to do it?

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

Hello dear novice webmasters.

It's no secret that the work with the site is carried out in the browser.

This is so commonplace that usually webmasters, as far as the browser is concerned, focus only on the cross-browser properties of programming languages.

However, the browser is the main tool of the computer, which has its own settings, additional modules and various features that significantly facilitate the work of the webmaster.

It is only at first glance that the browser is as simple as two and two.

In fact, it, like any solid program, has many options and nuances in their settings, which will be discussed in this course.

From own experience: not knowing about cache properties Chrome browser, for a long time I could not understand why in WordPress my images were not updated when they were replaced - as a result, a slowdown in work.

And the question was not worth a damn, but if you knew right away.

Why Chrome. Because, without prejudice, this is the most advanced browser to date.

Created by Google, it meets absolutely all the requirements both in desktop and in mobile versions, and has many modules that can be both connected and disconnected, thereby facilitating and speeding up the work.

In addition, Chrome is tightly integrated into all Google services, which is a huge plus when working with the site, namely its analysis and promotion.

Installation and basic browser settings

We type in the search bar Download Chrome, select the desired option, for mobile or for a computer, the desired OS and click Download.

A window will appear with conditions and two checkboxes with checkboxes by default.

Checkboxes can be removed, or left. I would leave the first and remove the second, already at this stage lightening the browser.

Installation will take place as usual, like all programs, after which a window will open in which you will be prompted to enter Chrome.

In fact, the browser is already ready to work and you can not go anywhere, but just start using it for its intended purpose, but this is not our way, since we need to get full access to it.

And not only for this. Google account these are Google Analytics - analytics of user site indicators, and Search Console - analytics of those. site characteristics and PageSpeed ​​Insights - analytics of mobile versions.

Creating an account has been described hundreds of times on the Internet, so we will not consider it either.

In the process of creating an account, you will receive a login and address Email@gmail.com, which you will need to use to enter the browser.

Perhaps you already have Chrome installed and have been working successfully for a long time.

In this case, to enter you need to click on the three dots at the end search string, select Settings in the menu that opens, and at the very top select Sign in to Chrome.

Login completed, why it was necessary to consider during the course, and since while we are in the settings, let's go through what is available without logging in.

Someone might find this useful.

1. Open at startup.

Here you can choose what will open the browser at startup.

It could be

a) New inset- empty search engine page.

b) Previously opened tabs - those pages that were open at the moment when you closed the browser.

c) Set pages - you can add the address of the page that will open when the browser starts.

2. Appearance.

Here you can add a background image and always show the bookmarks bar. Bookmarks will be shown below the search bar.

Here you select the search engine that you prefer.

In the next paragraph, the Default Browser, you do not need to allow or select anything, since we are already working with Chrome, which means that it is the default.

In fact, if you want to constantly use another browser, and keep Chrome in reserve, then specify the one that will open at startup.

4. Users. Here you may be interested in the item Import bookmarks.

If you previously had a different browser, then for sure it has a certain number of bookmarks that you need to save.

To do this, click Import bookmarks and settings and select the browser from which you want to transfer bookmarks.

Bookmarks bar, which also has a lot of interesting moments, we will analyze in the next article when we talk about the Chrome /

Leave the checkboxes at this point empty for now.

In this article, we will consider some of the settings from it that can be done right away, and we will return for the rest in the following articles, as we gain additional knowledge.

1. Personal data. Here, for now, we will only include hints to speed up the input of addresses and page loading.

2. Passwords and forms. We leave both ticks. The first will allow you to write permanently the address, name, etc. in forms, and with the help of the second one you will always have a choice whether to save the password for the site in the browser or not.

For example, I never save the passwords of sites where my confidential information is located in the browser.

3. View of the page. Customizable font size and type.

We choose what is more pleasing to our eye and click Done.

We skip the network for now.

4. Languages. Check the box Suggest translation and look Change language settings.

If you click Add, you can choose from a huge list of languages ​​and browse the Internet in your preferred language.

5. Downloaded files. This shows where the downloaded file will be uploaded. This is necessary in order not to look for the file after downloading all over the computer.

By default, Chrome defines the Downloads folder, but you can choose any other folder on your computer if you click Change.

This concludes with the initial settings.

In the next article, we will start working with the browser interface. There are a lot of nuances and surprises from the developers.

And here, I think, a list of hot keys will not be superfluous.

Ctrl + N - new window.

Ctrl + T - new tab.

Ctrl + Shift + N - new incognito window.

Ctrl + left mouse click.

Ctrl + Shift + T - restore the last closed tab (up to 10 tabs).

Ctrl + W - close the active tab or popup window.

Ctrl + Tab - switch between tabs.

F5 or Ctrl + R - page refresh.

Esc - cancel page loading.

Ctrl + F - search for text on an open page.

Ctrl + D - save a bookmark for the current page.

F11 - The key to enter and exit full screen mode.

Ctrl + plus and Ctrl + minus - change the scale of the page.

Ctrl + 0 - standard page scale.

Home - go to the top of the page.

End - go to the end of the page.

Hello, dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. Sometimes the search for answers to the simplest questions can reveal incredible things that a person has never thought about. We are used to just using a light bulb, microwave oven and a vacuum cleaner.

As soon as someone opens an article about how these machines work, how does it come to new level. If he is very interested in a person, then later he becomes a pretty good electrician or jack of all trades, for whom it is not a problem to fix anything.

Today we are going to talk about a few other things. We will talk about what browsers are and how they work. It is unlikely that you will ever have to fix the browser, but after this article you will have no questions about how sites are arranged. I don't even doubt that.

How the site works

Any electronic resource is a set of files. Some are responsible for the design, others for the test component. They are written using special programming languages. Not all website builders understand code, some use simple programs, which themselves convert actions into code and files.

If you look at the site as browsers see it, you will see only a folder with an incomprehensible name, in which other files will lie. When you open any of them, you will understand absolutely nothing.

As long as this set of documents is on the developer's computer, readers cannot access them. They are not on the internet. Help open the site for public viewing. Roughly speaking, they have something like large flash drives, on which folders with sites are laid out.

Each folder is associated with , URL, or, plain language, the address. Enter it into the address bar of your browser and it will kindly guide you to the folder. That's not all browsers do, but we'll talk about that in the next chapter.

Browser Mission

As I said, there are certain programs that help users. And there are browsers that are needed in order to, without knowledge of the same code, view the site not in the form of a folder, but in a completely familiar way.

For example, a programmer says: “Here is an article, and by clicking on this phrase a person should move to another page of my site.” He enters a certain code. You do not see it, the browser understands this and immediately gives the reader a simple and familiar link with an underline.

Learning programming languages ​​is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Now there are a lot of simple ones that make life and work on the Internet easier. There are no less courses that help dummies understand the intricacies of craftsmanship. For example, " WordPress 4: Site Building Practice » Mikhail Rusakov. The lessons are very simple. At the end of the training, everyone will be able to become a real website builder.


So, what browsers are for, we figured it out. Now let's see what they are.

Classification

Frankly speaking, it is impossible to divide browsers into types. I will not deceive you - they are all about the same. The difference lies only in the interface, sometimes download speed and unimpressive nuances.

Today I have come across this division more than once: Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera, Mozilla. I can't bring myself to separate them that way.

I'll give you a simple alternative. When it comes to sausage, it can be classified by composition, price, method of preparation (smoking, boiling). There are not so many browsers and they are all about the same, so you can only divide them by manufacturer, but in my opinion, this is some kind of lousy classification.

Their principle of work and mission are the same in any case. So how do people choose browsers? Basically, it's an interface. Everyone has small differences and a person quickly gets used to them. For example, when you go to Yandex Browser, you are offered to read news that you may find interesting. It hooks users.

Some people think that Google browser Chrome opens websites faster. I can't say how true this is. Personally, I use several browsers, and the speed of each depends on the Internet as a whole. Let Yandex claim about turbo modes, but if the network is overloaded in the evening and even the torrent is very slow, then loading the page in a second will not work.

How to choose a browser, install several and just see which one seems most convenient to you. OK it's all over Now. Subscribe also to the newsletter to receive quality information.

See you again and good luck.

The browser is a tool for accessing world wide web WWW. To get the most out of the internet, you need to understand and know the various features of a web browser.

In this lesson, you will learn what a browser is, and we will also talk about navigating the Internet with a browser, downloading files, bookmarking your favorite sites, tabs, and plugins.

A browser is a program for viewing web pages. With the help of a browser, you have the ability to surf the Internet, visit websites, view images on the Internet, movies, listen to music, etc. Right now you are reading this material using a browser.

What are the browsers

There are many web browsers nowadays, but the most popular ones are (Chrome) and firefox(Firefox) . Other browsers: Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari. Each of the above browsers has its own appearance and navigation, but they have the same goal: to load web pages correctly and quickly.

Like most modern programs, browsers use graphic user interface(GUI) which means you can navigate and perform actions with the mouse, and not, as in the early days of the computer, by typing commands.

Some devices, for example, use different types graphical interfaces such as touch screens. However, many principles remain unchanged.

In the image below GUI a computer where we use a mouse and a smartphone touch interface where finger touches are used instead of a mouse.

Navigation

To better learn how to work with the browser, you should know some basic concepts.

All browsers have an address bar that shows the web address (also called URL) of the page you are on. To go to another page, you can enter the URL in the address bar and press Enter.

Links

Basically, to go to another page, you can go by clicking on the link. They may be in the form text or Images, and usually they stand out. Basically there are of blue color and can be underlined. If you do not understand this link or not, then move the mouse cursor over it, and it should change its appearance to a hand icon.

Sometimes after you click on a link, you may want to return to the previous page. To do this, you can use the Back button. , then you can click on the Forward button to follow the link again. You can use the Refresh button in cases where the page did not load correctly, pictures are not visible, or part of the text is missing, etc. This happens sometimes.

There are times when you shouldn't use navigation buttons. For example, in online stores, you should not refresh the page after purchasing a product or during a purchase, because this may result in the purchase of the product twice.

Many browsers have combined the address bar and search bar into one bar. The line where the URL of the page is located, in the same place you can write the search conditions. However, there are browsers that have a built-in search bar as a separate panel.

Adding a bookmark

If you find a page that interests you on the Internet, you can bookmark it. They are added to bookmarks in order to make it easier to return to the page later and not forget it. This is convenient and easier than memorizing long obscure addresses and constantly typing them into the address bar.

  • In Chrome, you can add a bookmark by clicking on the star at the end address bar on right. Bookmarks are added in the same way in other browsers.

Story

Suppose you visited a page a few days ago but forgot to bookmark it. You can find this page using history, which is a list of sites/pages you've visited before. Pages usually remain in history for a certain number of days. For privacy, you can delete the history at any time.

View history

  • To view the history in the Chrome browser, click on the button in the upper right corner and select the History item:

Deleting history

  • To delete history in Chrome, go to history and click Clear history.

If you have a different browser, the process for viewing and deleting history will be different.

All browsers allow you to open the link in a new tab. It allows you to leave current page open. For example, if you are reading an article that contains a link, then you can open the link in a new tab and finish reading that article and then switch to the new tab.

Tabs are designed to make browsing more convenient. You can open as many tabs as you want. They will stay in the same browser window without cluttering the screen with multiple windows.

  • To open the link in a new tab, click right click click on the link and click "Open link in new tab"

File upload

You can download various types of files from the Internet using a browser. Suppose you need to fill out and print a form that you found on the Internet. You can download it to your desktop and then open it with an appropriate program (for example, with help from Microsoft word).

How to download a file?

If you click on the link under which there is a file you need, it can automatically download. And sometimes it will just open in the browser instead of downloading. In this case, to download the file, you need to right-click on the link and select "Save target as ..."

This does not mean that you can download anything from any sites. Some sites do not allow you to download content.

Some sites do not allow you to save their images.

Plugins

Plugins are programs installed on your browser that allow it to play videos and flash animations. For example, plugins Quicktime Player and Flash Player. If you do not have the required plugins installed, the site will give you a link to download the plugin instead of playing the video.

If you have the necessary plugins, you will be able to enjoy video streaming and play games.
