How to disable Yandex.Den in Yandex.Browser

Yandex.Browser is a rare case when a domestic software product can give odds to products from Western developers. True, this product is based on the Chromium platform, the work of Western specialists in the face of Google. But Chromium is just a platform, Yandex.Browser is very different from the mass of other clones of Chrome thanks to the careful work on it by the team of developers of the Russian search engine. Their developments on top of the Chromium platform relate not only to the modified interface, as it can be detected by running that other clone of the Chrome browser. The browser from Yandex has its own security system and its own separate functionality. Yandex.Browser is the leader in the number of possible extensions, because it supports the work with both the Chrome store and the Opera store. And, of course, Yandex.Browser has its own unique interface, sharpened to work with the services of the creator.

One of these services is an integrated Yandex.Den newsletter in the browser, alas, for the time of its existence it did not find the proper support of the public. Not appreciating the efforts of the creators of the browser, many users are looking for ways like Yandex.Den to disable. How to do this, we'll look at the very end of the article, before we talk about what kind of function it is and whether it should be disabled.

About Yandex.Dzena

The service of the Russian search engine, it's the regular Yandex.Browser functional, ornately called Yandex.Dzene, is nothing more than a regular news compilation displayed on the homepage of the Tablo web browser preview of new articles from certain sites.

News compilation is endless, its scrolling down will open more and more previews of materials from the Internet.

The service is available in desktop and mobile versions of Yandex.Browser, as well as as a separate application for Android - Yandex Launcher.

A service created from contradictions

Why did not this quite harmless functional, that many Yandeks.Den want to disable? It is woven of contradictions, perhaps because the efforts of developers are not destined to be evaluated by the audience of the browser.

In the pursuit of the beautiful names of their services, the company in this case clearly overdid it, calling the chaos of incoming information in honor of Zen - the school of Buddhism, whose doctrine is denied, though not all, but many things from worldly life, and social aggression and news confusion prefer meditative practices.

News compilation is based on a self-learning mechanism that forms it in accordance with the interests of users. This is achieved by analyzing the Internet resources visited by them. That's only the creators of the service forgot to provide for the possibility of adding users to the selection of new materials from their favorite sites. News can come only from sites provided by Yandex.

This nuance in the greater part and caused many Yandex.Den's desire to disable.

Activating the newsletter

A little earlier the news collection was introduced into the browser by default, along with its installation in Windows. At the date of writing the rules of the game changed: Yandex.Dzeng is activated only at the request of the user - if he turns it on when you first set up the web browser.

Do I need to disable the news collection from the perspective of saving system resources?

If the news compilation is not annoying, but it's about a device with problematic hardware characteristics, is it necessary to bother with the question of how to disable Yandex.Den? On a computer with a weak processor or a slow HDD, this kind of functionality does not play a special role. But on devices with a small memory (2 GB or less), any extra functionality of the browser - unnecessary extensions, regular news collections, embedded RSS-aggregators, etc. - It is desirable to disconnect. Since all Chromium-browsers are sharpened for active use of RAM.

How to disable Zen in Yandex.Browser

On a computer with the installed browser from Yandex, you can disable the news selection in the settings.

Going to the settings section, we are looking for the "Appearance settings" column.

Here, removing the option to display the news feed, as shown in the screenshot above, actually, and you can turn off Yandex.Den.
