Differences from the browser

Transfer bookmarks from the browser

There are no bookmarks in the Yandex application, so you cannot transfer Yandex Browser bookmarks from a computer or other device.

You can add useful links to Favorites. They will be saved in Yandex.Collections and will be available on other devices.

History of visited pages

The Yandex application saves memory on your device and therefore does not save information about visited pages.

Search history

Save request history

You can save the history of your search queries in the application. To do this, go to the application settings:

Many popular applications have light versions such as Facebook Lite, Twitter Lite, or Skype Lite. They are intended primarily for those users who want to save bandwidth and device hardware resources.

The main advantage of such "stripped-down" versions is that they work much faster than their full-size counterparts. Especially on gadgets with little memory and weak processors.

Yandex also did not stay away from this trend. Its installation file new program Yandex Browser Lite for Android weighs only 748 KB. After installation, the application already takes up 4.6 MB in the device's memory, but still it is almost five times less than Opera Mini.

Yandex Browser Light contains only the most necessary things. On home page posted "Zen" with a selection of interesting news and articles. At the bottom there is a search combined with the address bar. There is also a visual bookmarks panel that opens in a new tab.

The program settings are as spartan as appearance... There is only the ability to disable the recommendation tape and clear the cache and cookies... However, it is difficult to expect more from a program with such a small size.

The Yandex Browser Lite application is unlikely to be the main web browser on a smartphone or tablet. But as additional browser it is quite usable. It takes up almost no space, works very quickly, always at hand.

Admin

Surely the majority of active smartphone users are faced with the problem of "heavy" applications. Progress does not stand still, but mobile technologies develop especially rapidly. Over time, application developers add more and more new functions to their creations, trying to keep up with competitors, as a result of which applications grow in size with almost every update, consume more random access memory and in general may start to work less productively than before. All this is especially noticeable on low-power smartphones, on board of which there is not much RAM and permanent memory.

Many users are not going to chase endless technical innovations, but prefer to use their gadget for a long time, so for them performance and "lightness" installed programs play a decisive role. For them, the abundance of sometimes unnecessary functions is not so important, which can greatly slow down the system and cause it to take up extra space on the disk drive. Apparently, Yandex thought about this and decided to present to the market a light version of its popular browser - Yandex Browser Light. Let's take a look at the new product and determine if the application can really be useful to users.

You can download the mini-browser from Play Store... On this moment the download file weighs less than a megabyte - very small indeed compared to other mobile browsers.

After completing the installation, open a browser. At the top of the interface, you see a tabbed display. To delete extra links, you must click and hold on them, and then confirm the deletion. At first glance, you cannot change the contents of the scoreboard, but in fact, you cannot create new link quite easy - just add the desired page to your bookmarks, and it will appear on the scoreboard itself.

Under the bookmarks there is a Yandex.Zen feed, which can be disabled in the application settings. To do this, switch the switch "Show recommendation feed" to the inactive position. There are few browser settings: everything is still at a minimum, but it's not for nothing that the version is called "Light". After disabling Zen, the browser looks even more minimalistic and simpler, which is definitely a plus.

While the browser is still quite young, it has a good chance of becoming a popular product. Simplicity of the interface, small size (only a few megabytes, several times smaller than the main version of Yandex Browser), quick start- all this confirms that the new product from Yandex deserves attention and may be useful for users of weak devices or simply wanting to have a spare "light" browser.
