This function is needed for the convenience of work and quick start in the browser. As a rule, the start page is set by the program manufacturer - this is a common search or messaging system, the manufacturer's website or a panel that gives quick access to several resources.

We will tell you how to install, change or delete the start page in different browsers.

In almost all browsers, you can edit the launch bar or page. The user does this for himself, so that it is more convenient to work. For example, he can set a different search engine to run by default, postal service, a site with news or weather, and so on. In this case, the procedure for changing the starting resource depends on the specific program.

In addition, often when downloading files, the user forgets to uncheck the boxes in which the program offers to set its default resource. Often these services have poor functionality or even harm your computer, but you cannot get rid of them in the usual way. There is a universal way how to remove the intrusive start tab.

Google Chrome is the most popular search engine in most countries in the world, however, not all users know how to change its starting resource. This is done through the browser settings - you can change the parameters so that Google launches a certain tab (possibly several) when starting work.

3. When choosing the latter, click "Add", then write or copy links to resources in the window (it is not recommended to add a lot if you are using a weak computer, and also use the function for someone else's - this will violate confidentiality).
4. It is possible to open the current tabs at startup - so you don't have to copy links to resources.
5. Save changes by clicking “OK and check if everything works.

The procedure is similar to the previous viewer

Yandex

The Yandex browser is made on the same engine as Google Chrome, so they are very similar in many ways. The same goes for controls - the developers have made some differences, but it still looks the same.

Yandex does not have the ability to set an arbitrary site as a home site. Perhaps this was done in order for users to use only services from this developer, and not to install other search engines and resources as a start page. Nevertheless, Yandex offers 3 convenient options:

• "Open quick access page" - when the browser starts, a tab with a search bar and a panel of resources will appear, the location of which depends on how often the user opens them. You can delete unnecessary and add the ones you want, as well as move cells.
• "Restore Last Opened Tabs" - This will restore the last working session. Convenient for those who always leave the same resources open, for example, mail, weather forecast or news.
• "Open Yandex if there are no tabs" is an option that will send the user to the main resource of the search engine if all resources were closed before turning it off. In this case, Yandex itself will play the role of home.

In this case, the variability is less

What to do if you can't install the start page

Some users have a question about how to change the start page in Google Chrome or another browser, if the usual setting does not help - nothing happens or the intrusive tab returns to its place (after restarting the browser or computer).

The most common cause is services like Webalta or Amigo, which enter the computer as a virus. Also the PC can be infected malicious code or a program was installed on it that forcibly changes the home page.

First of all, you can reset the browser version or settings. This will keep all passwords and bookmarks, but applications and extensions will be removed.

You can also selectively remove add-ons that might be viral. These include Babylon, a translation program that changes the default resource, as well as some other settings, and then prevents them from editing. To uninstall Babylon on Windows, click "Control Panel" - "Uninstall Programs". Find this app and click Uninstall. Do the same with Babylon add-ons like Toolbar, Browser Protection and others. To uninstall an application on Mac OS, find it in Applications. Place in the "Trash" and then empty the last.

If this does not help, then download a virus removal program, for example, AdwCleaner and activate it. In some cases, the reason why the tab doesn't change is deep in the system.

Sometimes only special cleaning utilities can help

Methods that only work on Windows with any browser

Editing properties:

1. Right-click on the search engine shortcut and select "Properties".
2. In the "Shortcut" tab, find "Object".
3. Remove the quotes and the website address, if present, and leave the rest.
4. Do this with all browser shortcuts on the system.
5. With further use of the browser, be more attentive to the installation notifications and do not skip the points where they suggest installing a search engine or a start page - click "No".

Editing hosts

1. Find the file C: - Windows - System32 - drivers - ets - hosts.
2. Open it as a text document, click "edit" and delete the entire contents of the file.
3. Remove all old shortcuts to the browser and install new ones.

The specified file should be opened in text editor for change

Outcome

The starting resource is needed for a more convenient start to work with the browser. Different search engines offer different solutions for this.

Note. If you are using someone else's account chances are you won't be able to get rid of the intrusive tab. This procedure requires full computer rights, which students or company employees usually do not have.
