It is very easy to update Yandex Browser to the latest version for free. The program is distributed freely, as well as updates for it.

This is a high-quality and popular software, which in Russia is in second place in terms of downloads among browsers (after).

This is due to the fact that the program is convenient and simple, but at the same time efficient and functional.

About the browser

Update features

One of the good things about this browser is that it automatically updates regardless of user input.

No confirmation from the computer user is required to start the update process. The process takes place entirely in the background.

In addition, the browser does not require restarting the program or restarting the computer. This can be done at any convenient time. And after that, the updates will take effect.

In some cases, this feature may be disabled. Then it needs to be activated again. This can be done manually.

Likewise, this feature is disabled if the user does not want to refresh the browser.

After update

Automatic update of old version

The easiest way to install is an automatic update directly from your browser.

This method saves a lot of time.

But like a manual update, it is only necessary for those whose browser does not install new versions on their own.

To start the upgrade in automatic mode, do the following:

1. Start the existing version of this Internet browser;
2. After the program opens the start page, click on the gear icon located at the top of the window, on the right side;
3. The settings menu will open - a long drop-down list with a lot of functions;
4. In it you need to find the item "About Browser" and click on it;
5. After that, a window will automatically open in which you can watch the process of searching for a new version of the browser;
6. After that, it will begin to install, the installation process will also be displayed in this window;
7. When the process is over, you will be prompted Restart browser to complete installation;
8. Press the button "Restart" and use the new version.

This algorithm works only in the oldest versions of the program. The new ones don't even have a gear icon.

Not to mention the differences in the entire internal interface. Therefore, you need to act differently.

Automatic update

Automatic update to new version

In newer versions, the update almost always happens on its own in the background. But if for some reason this did not happen, then the user should act like this:

1. In the top line, to the right of the "Close" and "Minimize" icons, you need to find an icon with several straight lines;
2. Click on the icon, you will see a drop-down list with a set of options;
3. Find the section in it "Additionally"(usually the last line) and click on it;
4. After that, a large context menu will open, in which there is an item "About the browser";
5. Click on this item;
6. The browser version will be indicated in the window that opens;
7. If the "Update" button is active, then the update is required, if not, then the installed version is the newest;
8. Click on the "Update" button;
9. A notification will appear "Browser refresh in progress";
10. As soon as it disappears, you can click on the button "Restart".

After opening the browser, the new version will already be installed.

Update to new version

Downloading the new version

Not all users update.

Some are of the opinion that it is easier and more effective to simply remove the outdated program and download it again. But already updated.

And with free software (to which it belongs), there are no problems with this approach. In this case, the update process involves three steps:

1. Downloading a new version;
2. Removing the old version;
3. Installing a new version.

You need to download free software exclusively from the official website.

This is not only the most secure, but also ensures that the latest version is installed.

Because the newest version of the program is always presented on the official sites.

If the user has only one browser installed, then it is very important to download the program for subsequent installation.

To download, you need to go to the site www.browser.yandex.ru.

On the start home page of the site there will be a noticeable dark gray field with an offer to download a browser.

You must click on the yellow "Download" button in this field.

After that, choose for which type of device you need a browser - smartphone, tablet or PC. Then start the download.

How to manually update Yandex Browser on a computer

Instructions for updating Yandex browser in manual mode.

After the appearance of the Windows operating system on the consumer market, it became necessary to develop application applications designed to work with Internet resources. This led to the creation of web browsers or browsers for navigating sites and working with web documents. Browsers play a major role in the user's exit to the vastness of the World Wide Web. Web browsers quickly become outdated and present vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers to inject malware into them. The processing speed of outdated browsers is inferior to their modified counterparts. The development companies regularly release updated versions designed to eliminate the identified problems.

Why you need to update the browser

Regularly updating browsers reduces the likelihood of malware penetrating your computer, capable of destroying all information and disrupting its operation. To achieve this goal, developers are constantly searching for vulnerabilities in their software in order to close loopholes for virus attacks.

Outdated versions of browsers are slower than updated versions and cannot perform tasks at the level of modern requirements. The speed of legacy web browsers prevents fast loading of files that contain images and scripts executed using modern programming techniques. This leads to problems downloading new applications and slowing down the loading time of web pages, errors in accessing modern sites, or freezing of the web browser. Current versions browsers already have built-in support for applications and sites built on the latest web technologies.

The difference in the display of sites on a computer display can be illustrated visually:

Web pages made using new technologies are compatible with updated versions of the browsers Google Chrome, Yandex Browser, Opera and Internet Explorer 11. Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 10 browsers are partially adapted for sites created in HTML5 language. All other versions of browsers cannot fully work with such sites.

At the same time, old versions should not be permanently deleted from the computer. They can be used if you install another operating system on a virtual machine, for example, on Oracle VM VirtualBox.

If you need to work in older versions of Windows, they are installed on a virtual machine and compatible browser modifications are used

In any case, an updated version of the web browser is preferable to an earlier version, because it:

• causes significantly fewer crashes or freezes;
• more reliably protected from virus attacks and the introduction of malicious programs into the system;
• provides faster loading of Internet pages;
• supports a variety of plugins;
• notifies you immediately when updates are available and automatically installs them.

How to update Google Chrome browser

Google Chrome is one of the most popular browsers in the world. About 310 million users use it in their work. The market segment that this browser occupies is about 55% as of mid-2018... It features fast loading speed of web pages and almost no problems inherent in other web browsers. The distinctive features of Google Chrome include:

• fast synchronization and simultaneous configuration for all devices;
• a wide range of themes, applications and extensions;
• quick search for sites at the request of users;
• autocomplete option;
• auto-translation of Internet pages;
• high performance when interacting with the JavaScript add-on.

You can update your web browser in four ways:

• downloading the updated version posted on the official website of the company;
• automatic update when starting the web browser;
• update in manual installation mode;
• update using the free utility Kaspersky Software Updater.

To update your web browser from Google's website, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Go to the official page of Google Chrome.

   You can go to the web page of the Google Chrome browser by entering the corresponding query in the search engine

2. On the start web page, click the Download Chrome button.

   On the start web page, click on the Download Chrome button

3. Accept the terms of service.

   Click on the "Accept and install" button

4. Wait until the end of the browser installation process.

   Wait for the browser installation process to finish

To update automatically when you start your web browser, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the "Start" button on the manipulator.

   Right-click on the Start button

2. In the expanded menu, click on the "Computer Management" line.

   From the start menu select the line "Computer Management"

3. In the left column of the "Computer Management" console, expand the "Services and Applications" tab and click on the "Services" item.

   Expand the section "Services and Applications" and click on the item "Services"

4. Find the required services in the service registry that appears:
   • Google Update (gupdate), which is responsible for searching for updates on the Internet;
   • Google Update (gupdaem), responsible for installing the update.
5. The column "Startup type" indicates how to activate the services; by default, they are set to "Manual". Click on the icon of each service with the right key of the manipulator and select the "Properties" line in the drop-down menu.
   

   Search the console for the services responsible for updating the web browser and check their startup type

6. In the properties console, open the "General" tab and set "Startup type: Automatic".

   For each service responsible for updating the Google Chrome browser, you need to set the automatic startup type

After completing these steps, the Google Chrome browser is updated in automatic installation mode.

To exclude automatic browser updates and the loss of unsaved information, you need to leave the manual start of the search service and install updates. In this case, it is always possible to carry out these actions at a convenient time for the user. I twice had to face the problem of data loss when doing work related to the collection of information not on a hard drive, but directly on a website or in the cloud. At the most inopportune moment, when a large block of material had not yet been saved, an automatic update of the browser began and all information was irretrievably lost. After that, all the work had to be done anew. The problem can be avoided by using the autosave mode, but not all programs have it.

To update the web browser manually, the user should follow these steps:

Updating by running the free utility Kaspersky Software Updater is one of the easiest ways. After searching for updates on the Internet, they are automatically installed. In this case, user actions are minimized.

A number of sequential operations are performed to update the browser:

1. Download the Kaspersky Software Updater utility from the developer's website and install it on your computer.

   On the Kaspersky Lab website, find the Kaspersky Software Updater page and click the "Download" button

2. After launching the utility, click on the "Search for updates" button.

   Click on the "Search for Updates" button

3. Wait until the end of the search for updates.

   Wait for the program to find all available updates for the programs installed on the computer

4. If the "Updates" console contains the current version of the Google Chrome browser, then click on the "Update" button.

   In the console, click on the "Update" button next to Google Chrome

The main drawback of the utility is that it does not indicate the version of the updated version and does not indicate whether it is free for distribution or a trial beta version intended for testing and improvement. From personal experience I can give you such an example. When updating Yandex.Browser, the program unexpectedly replaced the current installation with the beta version. I had to uninstall the browser and reinstall it. In addition, Kaspersky Software Updater does not indicate whether a paid or free version is offered for updating. This also led to the need to reinstall due to the fact that the update was designed for 30 days of free use. It does not take much time, but it is still better to avoid unplanned work.

In my opinion, despite all the praise for the Kaspersky Software Updater utility, it is preferable to use the Glary Utilities program to search for updated versions of browsers. We will look at how to do this later in this article.

How to update Internet Explorer browser

Internet Explorer 11 is the final version of this web browser. Windows 10 includes the new Microsoft Edge browser, which is the main browser. Internet Explorer is saved in the system and, if necessary, the icon that launches it can be placed on the desktop and in the taskbar. Internet Explorer runs on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2016 operating systems... Early versions of this browser were not widely accepted by users due to numerous flaws. The latest version is practically free of old problems, but stereotypes that have been established over the years continue to prevail in the user environment.

There are only two ways to update the Internet Explorer web browser:

• update from the official website of Microsoft Corporation;
• automatic update.

To update from the official website, follow these instructions:

Internet Explorer Automatic Updates is enabled by default when Windows 10 is installed on a computer. This saves users from having to worry about constantly downloading the latest security and performance patches. To view the current browser version, follow these steps:

Keeping web browser software up to date helps users avoid problems that will inevitably arise if this rule is not followed. To advance on the consumer market, developers are constantly improving their software products, using new language platforms and animation applications for this. Outdated versions of browsers lack the ability to adapt to new programming and layout technologies. Accordingly, the requirement to systematically update web browsers to the latest version is more urgent than ever.

Yandex Browser is updated automatically. Without updates, your browser can not protect your data from new threats.
