Many users of the Google Chrome browser would like their favorite site to open when they open this browser. They can be understood because it is really convenient when you do not need to climb through the bookmarks and look for the desired site.
Home page
The home page is the web page that is first loaded when you launch your browser. It is also called the Start Page. It just so happened since the creation of the first browsers - Internet Explorer and the almost deceased already NetSape, that when the browser starts, the home page opens. Initially, depending on the browser setting, there were three possible options - a blank page, the last site opened, or a home page. Much later, the fourth option appeared, which then began to be used by default in most browsers.
Yandex is a popular Internet portal (search engine) visited by millions of Russian users every day. The main page of the site opens a search box, current news, weather and links to access branded Yandex services (mail, translator, maps, market, etc.). If you regularly visit this web resource in the Google Chrome browser, then to save time, this site can be set as your home page.
Until 2012, Yandex was the most popular search engine in Russia, so the older generation prefers to use Yandex. Secondly, many are attracted by the great user orientation of the Yandex home page - in addition to the search box, there is news, weather, traffic jams and mail. For those who need only the search line, there is an abbreviated version - ya.ru.
