How to restore tabs in Yandex browser

It doesn’t matter if you are working or relaxing on the Internet, but one way or another, several tabs are open in your browser. Sometimes there are situations when open windows with the necessary information disappeared or they were closed by accident. Of course, no one remembers the direct address of the link, and many, quite possibly, begin to look for information that has disappeared, on a new one. Modern Internet browsers (in particular, such well-known ones as Google Chrome and Yandex) have one very necessary option for such cases - you can open one or more accidentally closed tabs or visited pages. There are several ways how this can be done.

Page recovery

The latest versions of the Yandex browser have an option to automatically restore pages after a reboot or when the browser is turned off. If the computer shuts down or freezes and the browser was disabled incorrectly, after restarting the program, a dialog box will appear asking you to restore all closed tabs. Agreeing with the proposed option, the browser will automatically load all previously opened sites.

To eliminate the possibility of losing information when you close the browser, you can configure the automatic loading of the last pages viewed. For this:

1. Open the Internet browser menu;
2. Select "Settings";
3. Find the section "On startup open" in the window that opens
4. Check the box next to "Previously opened".

If after these steps the pages still do not open, proceed to the next recovery options.

Keyboard shortcut (hot keys)

A convenient and easy way to open closed tabs in Yandex browser is to press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T on the keyboard.

Important! It should be remembered that all such combinations work with Latin letters on any language keyboard layout.

When pressed, this combination will open the last closed page in the active browser window (regardless of the time it was closed). Pressing again will open the penultimate one and so on in descending order. Thus, by enumeration, we can return the information we need, which was accidentally or deliberately closed. However, this is also a disadvantage of this method, you cannot directly specify a specific link, you can only sort through it.

Using the context menu

Some do not like or do not know how to use hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts), but prefer working with the mouse. In this case, in order to restore the tabs in the Yandex browser, you can hover over the tab bar and right-click the context menu. In the window that opens, select the item "Open just closed":

Unfortunately, the disadvantage of this method is that you can only work with the last actions. If we need to open information from an earlier period, this method is not effective.

Restore with "Scoreboard"

In order to return the recently closed page, you can use the special button on the Yandex browser scoreboard.

1.Launch the browser or open a new window;

2. Press the button "Recently closed";

Back button

If the user simply went to another site in the same window, you can return to the previous pages using the special control buttons of the program:

This method eliminates the disadvantages of the above. When you hover over the "Back" button (left arrow), an auxiliary window appears with a list of all page transitions (in some versions of browsers, you need to hold down the click to drop the list). Click on any item in the list and go to the desired resource.

This method also has a minus - the jump list is shown only for this particular tab, it will not be possible to restore data if this window was closed.

Visit history

This recovery method is more cumbersome, but it has some advantages over the two described above.

As you know, any browser, including the Yandex browser, keeps constant statistics of all user actions. All these statistics are available and with its help you can easily open a closed tab, for this you need:

1. Open browser menu;
2. Hover over the item "History";
3. In the pop-up window, click on the desired link;
4. A window will open with the previously visited page.

The full list of visited pages can be seen using another keyboard shortcut Ctrl + H, or accessed through the browser menu:

1. Click on the browser menu icon;
2. Select and click on the "History" section;
3. In the pop-up window, also click on "History";
4. A window will open in front of the user with all the pages visited for the entire time of using the Internet browser.

If you actively use the Internet, then the list can be quite extensive. The developers have provided for this and all hyperlinks are conveniently sorted not only by the days of the week, but also by the time of visiting a particular site. In addition, you can go to this section via a direct link: browser://history/.

Bookmarks

In order not to lose important information or just an interesting site accidentally found on the network, the Yandex browser functionality allows you to save links to these resources in a special "Bookmarks" section.

By adding a link to a bookmark, you can easily and without unnecessary movements go to the desired page, even if you accidentally closed the tab with it. Make it simple. There are two types of bookmarks: text and visual (Scoreboard), and, accordingly, two ways to add the desired page.

To add a text bookmark, just click on the star on the right in the address bar:

In principle, you do not need to do anything to add a visual bookmark to the scoreboard; if you repeatedly visit one site, a link to it will automatically appear on the scoreboard. However, you can also do it manually.

1. It is enough to open a new window and select the "Add" button below the visual tiles.

2. In the window that opens, enter the link in a special line.

3. Click "Finish".

As you can see, there are many ways to restore closed windows with information in the browser. Each user will choose the option that will be most convenient for him to implement.

Finally, a few more useful features of the browser.

To open a new tab in the Yandex browser, you just need to click on the "+" next to the already open one. For fans of hot keys - a combination of Ctrl + T.

To switch between tabs can be used as a regular mouse, or the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab. This combination will switch open pages alternately from left to right. You can use Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch in reverse order.

Using the context menu:

• hover the cursor over the desired hyperlink,
• right click to open the menu,
• select "open link in new tab"
• the menu item "Open in new window" opens new windows instead of tabs.

The second option is convenient for those who are "friends" with keyboard shortcuts. Hover over the link, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and simply click on the link. It will automatically open in a new tab. To open a new window, you need to hold down the Shift key instead of Ctrl.

There is also a third option - hover over the link and click on the wheel on the mouse. Simple and convenient.

Grouping tabs

For convenience, the developers have provided the ability to group information. To do this, you can simply hold down the left mouse button and drag the page to the desired location. In addition, pages can be grouped in different windows, for this, holding the page with the left button, drag it to an empty space on the desktop. This will automatically open a second browser window. You can then drag the rest one by one to group them.

Pin tabs

It happens that we have one or more tabs open all the time. It can be social networks, mail, or other necessary material that needs to be saved. In order to prevent accidental closing, as well as to save space in the browser window, it is possible to pin an open page. To do this, we call the context menu with the right mouse button on the active window and select the "Lock tab" item. Now these sites will be separately grouped on the left side of the browser window until you force them to close.

close tabs

Here, too, there are several options.

On the active tab, click on the "X" on the right.

On the active page, right-click and select "Close".

On the active tab, use the keyboard shortcuts that close it Alt+F4 or Ctrl+W.

In addition, you can close all pages except the active one, or close all tabs to the right of the active one. This can be done using the same context menu with the selection of the appropriate items:

Working with a tab group

All of the above actions can be performed not with one tab, but with a group. To do this, we need to select a group of tabs. We hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard and without releasing we click on the ones we need. Further, by analogy, we can close, move, group the selected tabs.

Tabs at the bottom

Perhaps someone will find it convenient to display pages at the bottom of the browser window. For this option, on the browser tab line, right-click to open the context menu and select the "Show tabs from below" item:

By doing the reverse procedure, we will move the tabs up, respectively.

When you open a large number of tabs, each tab shrinks to fit on your screen. Using the program menu, you can reduce or increase the size of the tabs display:

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Minimum tab size -> "select the desired item".

So, we see that Yandex has made a lot of efforts for the convenience of using its program and with each new version it increases the number of useful functions of its product. Each user can choose the settings he needs. Take advantage of convenient options in everyday work or use data recovery and search mechanisms.
