Why is it worth using the Yandex browser. Yandex.Browser - is it really as good as they say it is? How to remove a browser from Yandex

07.06.2022

Under the proud name of Yandex.Internet. The browser is based on the Chromium browser, and therefore open source.

The daily audience of this browser is not so small: Chrome (Yandex) 1,027,563 1.3%

Now let’s remember several scandals related to the “leakage” of data on the Internet, namely shopping lists in intimate stores, data on tickets sold and SMS messages from a megaphone, and see what we can dig up about this in the license agreement of this browser. And maybe after this all the questions about how this could end up in public access, will disappear by themselves.

6.3. The User is hereby notified and agrees that when using the Program the Copyright Holder in automatic mode The following information is transmitted anonymously (without reference to the User): type operating system the User’s computer, version and identifier of the Program, statistics on the use of Program functions, as well as other Technical information.

What is "technical information"? Is the session number technical information? For comparison, Google in its user agreements lists everything he collects, and there are no phrases “other technical information” there.

3.1.1. Apply the Program directly functional purpose, for the purpose of copying and installing (playing) it on the User’s personal computer(s). The User has the right to install the Program on an unlimited number of personal computers. When installed on Personal Computer Each copy of the Program is assigned an individual number, which is automatically communicated to the Copyright Holder.

Is the program number technical information?

Continue reading paragraphs 5.1-5.7. They are long, but the meaning can be formulated very briefly:
by default, everything that happens inside the browser is transferred to Yandex servers, including entered texts (except passwords), URLs of viewed pages, page contents, etc.

This can be turned off, but did those whose data floated into the network know about this? And would they have the computer skills to do it?

In addition, it is extremely interesting:
1. and numbers credit cards are they also transferred to Yandex servers?
2. what about phone numbers?
3. What about unique pages generated when sending SMS or for shopping lists in online stores?

And when viewing a government services website, will all the content of the pages and what is entered be transferred to the Yandex servers?

But that's not all! They will install software of unknown purpose for your load, without the possibility of refusal, the list of which you do not know when signing this user agreement:

5.11. The User is hereby notified and agrees that when installing the Program, additional components (buttons) for the Program will be automatically selected and installed for him, interacting with popular social networks, email services and other tools, and such selection is carried out fully automatically and without transferring data outside the User's computer.

Well, about open source browser (and some components were under GPL). He stayed with his ancestor:

4. Limitations

4.1. With the exception of use to the extent and in the ways expressly provided for by this License or the legislation of the Russian Federation, the User has no right to change, decompile, disassemble, decrypt or perform other actions with the object code of the Program aimed at obtaining information about the implementation of algorithms used in the Program, or create derivatives works using the Program, as well as to carry out (permit to carry out) other use of the Program, without the written consent of the Copyright Holder.

PS: For Yandex bar

The Yandex browser is developed using source code Chromium is based on the WebKit engine, which makes it very similar to . However, we found many advantages that can put the program from Russian developers head and shoulders above its popular analogues.

Strengths

Integration

The main feature of this Internet Explorer is its integration with Yandex services itself. Search engine, cloud storage, maps, language translations, mail and other services are on the toolbar and can be accessed with one click. It will also seem to someone useful additions for Yandex browser - services such as weather forecasts or traffic jams.

Integrated technologies can be considered a big “plus” for users Adobe Flash to watch videos and Adobe Reader- for reading PDF files.

Synchronization

You can continue web surfing started on a laptop at any time - on a tablet or smartphone. Bookmarks and browsing history are automatically transferred when you launch the browser on another device.

Safety

The protection system it has is a separate reason for pride for Russian developers. The company's programmers combined innovative technologies for anti-virus attacks and anti-spam with the achievements of Kaspersky Lab. When loading, pages are immediately checked for the presence of malicious code, and files are checked for potential threats to infect your computer. In addition, the authors have implemented antispam and a data theft detector.

Speed

Like the developers, the creators of Ya.Browser implemented a Turbo mode in the program, which allows you to speed up the loading of images, videos and other media content with a slow Internet connection. The results for queries in the omnibox even before pressing Enter are also worth attention. As soon as you start typing “weather in Tel Aviv” or “ruble exchange rate”, you will immediately see the answers.

Miniatures

With all this, the browser interface looks surprisingly minimalist. As its creators assure, they sought to eliminate elements that distract users and disperse attention. Here you can test a small innovation and “get a scoreboard.” This means that when we open a new tab, we are given a display in which we can pin eight popular tabs.

Moreover, unlike other browsers, in Y. Browser you will see recognizable site logos, not screenshots last visits. This allows you to navigate much faster visual bookmarks. And also - you can change the positions of the thumbnails yourself (which, by the way, is not available, for example, in Chrome - there they are arranged according to the frequency of visits). In addition, the “Forward” arrow has been removed from the browser window; it appears only when the page is already open.

Tabs

Have you often noticed that when you open new tab with a YouTube video in Chrome and Firefox, it automatically starts playing. But this is not very convenient if you were going to watch the video later? So - in the browser we are considering, everything is thought out. You can open a video link in a new tab, and playback will not start until you activate that tab.

Weak sides

Let me finish this praise and move on to that very “fly in the ointment”. Users who have already tried it new browser, express mixed opinions. Along with the positive characteristics, the Yandex browser has received its share of criticism. Feedback from active Runet users who expressed dissatisfaction with this matter consisted mainly of the following:

Interface

The address bar, outlined in a poisonous yellow outline, seems too bright to some. However, you can get rid of the frame by going to the Yandex Browser settings. In general, a number of users reacted positively to the ideology of minimalism. In their opinion, other reviewers do have unnecessary buttons and bookmarks.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. If you are not familiar yet, I would like to introduce you to one of the most popular online service ov of Runet called Yandex. It has existed since 1996 and at the dawn of its formation it was exclusively.

Let’s put aside the question “what is Yandex today” for a moment, and let’s talk about where such a strange name came from. Why Yandex? There are several interpretations on this matter and they all answer the question posed.

True, only one of them reflects the real train of thought of the author of this now super-popular word, who was one of the founding fathers of this search engine - Ilya Segalovich(unfortunately, he left us in the middle of last year).

Why is Yandex called Yandex?

In the above photo he is on the far left. Next to him stands his comrade-in-arms and the second major Yandex - Arkady Volozh. Well, on the right are Sergey Brin and Larry Page - . This photo was taken at the beginning of our century, when Google company planned to buy our domestic search engine and its leaders came to Russia for negotiations, but the deal never took place.

So, Ilya had a difficult task - choose a name for the future search engine(not yet available at that time via the Internet) and at the same time not lose face in the dirt. The search keyword index was taken as a basis (read about how important the index is for them, and what it even is).

It was decided that the word-forming phrase would be “yet another indexer,” which translated means “another indexer.” In general, quite modestly and without any claims for future stunning success. English language then in Russia there was "" and, naturally, that search system originally received its name in Latin: YANDEX(Yet Another iNDEXer).

However, the main feature of Yandex at that time (and even now) was that it searches for answers on the Internet. Besides him, at that time the only one doing this was one that is now no longer a full-fledged search engine. In general, the founding fathers decided that they needed to add the Russian letter I at the beginning instead of the English Y and it turned out YANDEX. This could already be interpreted as a Language INDEX.

At that time, its home page looked like this (design by Tema Lebedev):

In 2008, the fashion for writing company names in Latin letters came to an end and YANDEX began to be called simply Yandex.

There are several other interpretations, why Yandex is called Yandex, and despite the fact that they are quite logical and concise, they appeared after the official name was approved. I have already mentioned one of them - Language iNDEX.

Well, the second one says that if you take the first letter “I” and in the word index, then you will get the pronoun “I” - hence YANDEX. The version is beautiful, but somewhat different from what happened in reality.

What is Yandex and what does it represent today?

As I already mentioned, at the dawn of its formation, this online service was exclusively a search engine. He still is, and his share of the RuNet market is very significant and amounts to more than sixty percent.

But time passed and everything changed. With each new year of its existence, Yandex acquired more and more new services and opportunities. Some of them have reached our time unchanged, some have changed, merged or even closed, such as.

Now, if you are looking for a product, you probably turn to it to find the best store in terms of price and reviews. If you are going somewhere, then go to the one that displays the road conditions (traffic jams).

For many, this online service has become the portal from which they start surfing the Internet every day. This is especially convenient because, like the desktop in Windows, it has the ability to add widgets, settings appearance through the use of themes, and all other services of this mega-portal are also available from it.

So what is Yandex? You can’t answer in one word. Let me list all the services collected under his wing, which I had the opportunity to write about in detail. It will probably be much simpler and more visual.

- unlike Google, the RuNet mirror initially decided to use its main (start) page for the convenience of users.
Well, by analogy with, a Passport was introduced, which is valid throughout the entire territory of all the possessions of this search engine.
- the place where all site owners add their resources to monitor their indexing and visibility in this search engine.
- probably the second most popular after payment system in RuNet. Although, if you take it into account, it turns out that it’s the third.
- here you can order advertising of your products or services on search pages (advertising is displayed at the top or bottom of the search results).
- a very popular service among Russians, because it provides information about traffic jams, allows you to plot routes and create your own (folk) maps.
- this is the flip side of Direct. The fact is that Yandex has a well-functioning system for working with contextual advertising, so why should it limit itself to just its own SERP (search results page)?
In general, if you have your own website with daily traffic greater than or equal to 300 unique visitors per day, then register with Profit Partner (the official service center for YAN partners) and earn money, receive prizes and affiliate rewards. No bullshit - that's it.
- a system that differs from a similar Google tool (Analystix) in that it has an intuitive and elegant interface, and is also easy to learn.
- in the Runet market it successfully competes with, and also attracts some of the users from Jimail.
In terms of functionality, the new incarnation of Yandex Mail is not much inferior to the latter, and in some aspects it is even superior. For example, there is free opportunity receipt, which in Google has now become worth a pretty penny ().
- file storage, which is designed to become a real alternative to Dropbox (read about that), or.
- new service offering users a fresh selection of materials on topics of interest to them. The selection is generated automatically based on the preferences of each individual user. Read more about the service at the link provided.
- the search engine of any SMS on which your site will work will always be worse than this tool. Therefore, do not install it, or its equivalent from Google.
- these are not services, but important tools with which the company evaluates the static weight of all indexed documents, and ordinary users can estimate at what price it is worth selling or buying links from certain sites (read about, eternal links or)
- deceased in God (or rather in Yukoza) free constructor people's sites. Previously, it was possible to create free websites or store and transfer files (the latter function was taken over by the Disk described just above)
- a fairly popular add-on for browsers, which, however, is much more necessary for the search engine itself than for users (setting search by default, home page, collection of user preferences, etc.).
Yes, all this is not implemented as aggressively as this, but there is something in common.
- previously there was a similar thing in Opera (express panel), but thanks to our hero, now these bookmarks can be used in any browser (installed).
- made on the same engine as Google Chrome, but has a number of individual features that competitors do not have.
- a set of buttons for adding announcements of articles on the site to popular ones social media. The statistics of this block can be tracked in Metrica.
- this is not a service or a tool, but simply a statement that this search engine is not yet capable of real-time and updating search results discretely at certain unequal time intervals, which are usually called up.
- can search not only by words or phrases entered into the search bar, but also by searching, which you download from your computer or specify its location on the Internet.
- similar online service.
- well, of course, this is not far yet Google translate, but also gives a very good translation, albeit into a much smaller number of languages.
- will help you measure the speed of the Internet channel you are using.
- the service is very convenient and quite claims to be the best in RuNet.
- the most popular directory of sites in the entire RuNet, but, unfortunately, not everyone manages to get there even on a paid basis.
- the first assistant to those who have already mastered it, because it allows them to collect and then write articles based on them.
- a very specific thing that cannot be explained in a nutshell, but you can read the article given at the link.

I think that now, at least in general terms, it has become clear to you what Yandex is and how big and powerful it is. Thank you.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Appearance

Outwardly, Yandex Browser looks simple, like Google Chrome, however, there are fundamental differences. By default, the browser interface is displayed in standard light gray colors. But as soon as you scroll to the beginning of any picture or video, the color of the browser changes as if you are looking at them through glass with a blur effect. Looks very cool live. The interface does not get boring over time, which is probably why there are no other design themes provided.

And this is what the browser will look like if you scroll down a little:

The main page of the browser greets the user with an original display that contains visual bookmarks with a message counter. For example, you can locate the VKontakte website there and you will no longer need to go to the site itself to see the number of unread messages. You can do the same with mailboxes. This makes browsing the Internet more convenient. The new Opera has something similar, but I don’t like the pale interface, which makes the tabs hard to read.

It is easy to diversify the Yandex browser start page with the help of an extensive gallery of backgrounds, and it is possible to upload your own images. There are also animated backgrounds (videos), their number is not so large (23), there you will find: the sea, mountains, forests, clearings, waterfalls and even a city. Each of these landscapes is unique and pleasing to the eye. And I’m generally silent about static backgrounds; their number is simply off the charts. You can set the background to change automatically every day.

Operating speed

Yandex browser launches no faster than Google Chrome - in just over 1 second. The loading speed of the sites is also the same. However, the fact that it has a “turbo” mode plays in favor of the Yandex browser. This mode allows you to work comfortably with a slow Internet connection, thanks to the compression of pictures and videos. Presumably, this “trick” was borrowed from older versions of the Opera browser.

RAM consumption

When choosing a browser, this parameter is key for many. This is especially true for those who have an old or not very powerful PC. This also applies to me, because my computer uses outdated memory: DDR2, in addition to motherboard It only supports 4 GB of RAM in total. Here the Yandex browser shows itself on the good side, with 12 open tabs and 3 installed extensions- RAM consumption is 880 MB. Google Chrome eats 902 MB.

Turbo mode

As already mentioned, turbo mode allows you to compress traffic to speed up page loading. This mode will be extremely useful for those who access the Internet from a smartphone, because in addition to the desktop version of the browser, there is also mobile version. This way you will save mobile traffic, and therefore money. Turns on this mode It’s simple: just click on the lock icon and select the appropriate item. There is no need to restart the browser.

It works like this: traffic passes through Yandex servers and is compressed at the same time. Sites using the HTTPS protocol are ignored; they will be immediately displayed in the browser without going through Yandex servers. I think this is done for safety. Google Chrome and Opera initially do not have such modes, so the Yandex browser turned out to be better in this regard. Also, turbo mode will automatically turn on when the speed drops below 128 Kbps.

Privacy and Security

Let's start with security. Browsers from Google and Yandex have their own unique protection tools built in. Each company has its own database of dangerous sites, and when you go to them, a warning appears in the browser window. Also, all downloaded files are checked for security. In general, it is clear that Yandex takes the issue of security very seriously.

There's something here that Google Chrome doesn't have. We are talking about a unique tool called “Protect”, which includes a whole arsenal of active protection functions. This is, without exaggeration, the first comprehensive security system of its kind built into the browser. It includes:

Internet connection protection;
Protection when making online payments;
Protection from infected sites and programs;
Protection from shocking advertising;
Protect your Wi-Fi connection.

When making online payments, the browser automatically switches to enhanced security mode: the interface turns dark, and the word “protected mode” appears in the upper right corner. Also, the browser will warn you if you visit a dangerous site and try to enter a bank card number.

But that's not all. It happens that you install some add-on, seemingly proven, from the official repository. Then this add-on causes problems: strange redirects (redirections) to dangerous sites, annoying advertising. In this case, Yandex browser simply will not allow you to install it. This is the warning that will pop up if the extension poses a security risk:

There is no way to get around this limitation. We'll have to look for another addition, but that's for the best. Here “refresh” is simply reloading the page.

But with privacy, not everything is so smooth. Privacy is how sensitively various large companies treat your personal information. First of all, these are the manufacturing companies of these browsers. It has long been known that Google Chrome is a “vacuum cleaner” that collects a lot of data about the user: location, interests and much more. “Big Brother” sells this data, among other things, to advertising companies so that they bombard you with targeted (tailored) advertising.

So Yandex is unlikely to be much better in this regard. You don’t think that such large corporations make browsers out of sheer enthusiasm? Although, given the later appearance of the Yandex browser, perhaps the main idea of its creation was not spying on the user, but an attempt to catch up and overtake the nearest competitor. Maybe so. In any case, if you really want no one to follow you, I can recommend the Iron browser or Tor browser. In the latter, privacy is absolute, but this also creates inconvenience.

My settings

Yandex browser or more popular Google chrome- the difference is minimal when it comes to settings. This is not surprising, because the engine is the same. But, as for me, the settings are easier to read in the first browser: the font and background are better chosen here. I played around with the settings a little, turning off all the functions that were useless to me: Zen feed, background running of applications, sending browser usage statistics, mouse gestures, reading mode. I did not touch the “security” tab ().

About add-ons

Unlike Google chrome, Yandex browser does not have its own extensions directory. Instead, it uses the Opera browser repository. The peculiarity of the Russian browser is that it is “omnivorous” in terms of extensions. You can easily install add-ons from the Google chrome store, but other browsers cannot do this. The same Opera refuses to install extensions from the Google catalog. And the domestic browser will also check these extensions for viruses, and for free. All this makes Yandex one of the best browsers.

5 reasons for my switch to Yandex browser

I will try to summarize everything that was said earlier, while highlighting some additional features programs that I didn’t talk about. There are at least 5 key points because of which I switched to constantly using a domestic browser:

More convenient work with text.
Beautiful and minimalistic design that does not irritate the eye, while the information is easy to read. Transparency effect, like in some Windows applications 10.
Excellent security. The files you download are scanned using Yandex's own anti-virus algorithms.
Fast. When compared with Google chrome, the difference in speed is minimal (almost none). But Yandex is still faster than new firefox. There is a "turbo" mode.
Support for extensions from the 2 largest catalogs: Opera and Google. Extensions are checked for viruses.

For users who often work with text, one small but useful feature will be appreciated: an auxiliary panel when selecting text. It works like this: you select any text on the page, after which two buttons “pop up” - “find in Yandex” and “copy to clipboard”.

If you highlight a word foreign language- its translation will be offered. You no longer need to right-click and select copy. If the page is in a foreign language, you will be offered to translate the entire page using Yandex translator (similar to Google Translate).

There is also a well-organized word search, which can be called up using the “Ctrl+F” key combination. All words that contain the set of characters that you entered in the line will be highlighted in the text. If you check the box, only exact matches to the typed word will be highlighted.

After a detailed study of all these facts, I no longer had to choose between browsers from Yandex and Google to answer the question - which browser is better. Good luck to you!

The Yandex browser is developed using Chromium source code based on the WebKit engine, which makes it very similar to . However, we found many advantages that can put the program from Russian developers head and shoulders above its popular analogues.

And also - you can change the positions of the thumbnails yourself (which, by the way, is not available, for example, in Chrome - there they are arranged according to the frequency of visits). In addition, the “Forward” arrow has been removed from the browser window; it appears only when the page is already open.

Tabs

Have you often noticed that when you open a new tab with a YouTube video in Chrome and Firefox, it automatically starts playing. But this is not very convenient if you were going to watch the video later? So - in the browser we are considering, everything is thought out.

Weak sides

Let me finish this praise and move on to that very “fly in the ointment”. Users who have already tried the new browser have mixed opinions. Along with the positive characteristics, the Yandex browser has received its share of criticism. Feedback from active Runet users who expressed dissatisfaction with this matter consisted mainly of the following:

Interface

Hello everyone, I’ll tell you about what Yandex Browser is, what kind of program it is, what it’s for, and whether it can be removed. I’ll write it this way, so that you understand for sure, in the end you yourself will be able to decide whether you need it or not. This means that Yandex Browser is not just a program, it is a very popular program, many users know about it, and all because it is... well, so to speak, a program for browsing the Internet.

That is, using Yandex Browser you can surf the Internet, visit websites, view website pages, and so on. You can also watch movies on the Internet, chat, listen to music, read books, in general, you can do all this in the browser, that is, this is a window to the world world wide web or whatever it is, in short, a window to the Internet!

This means, as you already understand, this browser is from the Yandex company, or, more simply put, from this search engine. And although this is a Yandex browser, it is still made on the basis of Google Chrome, well, you are not particularly surprised, many people do this, take the basis of Chrome and then add a little or a lot and in the end it is already like an original browser, albeit based on Chrome.

By the way, I found an interesting picture, look how similar Yandex Browser and Google Chrome are:

And they have a lot in common; at most they may differ in color, or some other little thing

If you did NOT download Yandex Browser and it appeared on your computer on its own, then this can be said to be normal. The fact is that Yandex Browser penetrates users’ computers, so to speak, in stealth mode. So you install some program, and along with it Yandex Browser is quietly installed. No, of course, somewhere during installation there is a checkbox stating that more software from Yandex will be installed, and if you uncheck it, the browser will not be installed... But this checkbox is very easy to miss... Well, I think you understand...

So, look, I installed Yandex Browser, it appeared on my taskbar, here is a button for the browser itself and also the Yandex search engine:

That is, if you click on the first button, the Yandex Browser will simply launch, and if you click the second, the Yandex search engine will open in the same browser, everything is clear

Well, here I think everything is clear, here’s what the browser itself looks like:

So I opened it and loaded the Yandex search engine. And if you don’t download anything, then this is what the browser will look like, so to speak, this is its start page:

So what do you think? You may not know this, but Yandex Browser has acquired this cool interface; before it was different, like this:

The whole trick of the new design, so to speak, is that this is the background screensaver, it goes to the entire screen or to the entire window in the start tab. In general, on the one hand there are few differences, on the other hand they are significant, I personally don’t like it new design browser, but it is no longer possible to return the old one, but before it was possible! Look, here is a button in the settings to disable the new interface:

But the settings are already new version browser, well, the one I’m writing about here:

As you can see, there is no longer an opportunity to return the old design, and this is very bad, it seems to me that this is not very correct, just like that and change the design. And if someone doesn’t like it and someone wants to return it, then how can they return it? That's how it is guys...

If you use another browser for the Internet, then perhaps you should delete this Yandex Browser? Well, why would it just hang in your programs and take up space if you don’t use it... In general, see for yourself, and I’ll still show you how to remove it, so that you know how to do it, just in case. So look, hold down the Win + R buttons and write there a command like:

A list of programs will open, here you need to find Yandex and right-click on it, then select Delete:

Then this small window will appear, here you need to click Delete:

That's all, as you can see there is nothing complicated. You will also still have the Yandex Button, well, I mean it will remain in that list of programs, you can delete it in the same way:

It will be deleted without any questions asked.

That's all guys, that's all, I hope that everything here was clear to you and the information was useful. Good luck in life and may everything go well for you

There are no perfect browsers. Even the seemingly most powerful, fast and popular browser can actually malfunction and be subject to glitches and errors. And the Yandex browser in this case is no exception. Users quite often encounter a problem when the Yandex browser does not work, does not want to start, or simply does not open pages. Let's figure out what to do in this case and how to eliminate such errors and make sure that they do not pop up in the future.

In general, there can be a lot of reasons why the browser from a popular Russian search engine has stopped launching. But we will consider only those due to which it does not work most often. And they, in principle and almost always, are the cause of a program failure. And we will try to solve the errors that prevent you from properly using all the capabilities of the World Wide Web.

Why doesn't Yandex Browser work?

Normal program crash.
Malicious programs that prevent it from working normally.
Other programs using a large amount of computer RAM.
Operating system malfunctions.
Damaged files.
Problems with temporary files in the registry.
Outdated browser version.

And so, we sorted out the problems. Now you can proceed directly to solving them.

This option can only be effective in cases where a temporary program failure has occurred. Then you can simply reboot the system, and the problem will go away on its own. Or, the method may be useful when the program is frozen. In short, in this way you can only solve an error that arose due to system overload or program file failure.

If the problem lies much deeper, then you will have to resort to more complex and drastic methods of treating browser ailments.

Removing viruses

Very often the Yandex browser does not start due to the fact that the computer has been infected malware, preventing the application from starting normally. Such a virus can be picked up very easily, especially if you do not have an antivirus installed or have disabled it, which prevents the threat from penetrating the system and harming it. Although in some cases, even an antivirus does not help, since every day many new viruses and Trojans are released and spread, which it has not yet learned to recognize.

If, nevertheless, you fell for the bait of hackers and accidentally downloaded a Trojan onto your computer and your browser stopped launching, then you need to immediately scan your computer for viruses. And if they are found, delete them immediately. Then restart the system and try to open the Yandex browser again. If it starts, then the problem is fixed. If not, then move on to the next one. possible problem and we try to remove it.

Other programs use a lot of RAM

Another reason why the Yandex browser flatly refuses to open is the lack of RAM and processor memory. What does it mean? Simply put, there are too many programs and applications installed on your computer that mercilessly “eat” RAM. And when it is not enough, Windows simply physically cannot run the program, because there is absolutely no room left for it.

The solution to this problem is very banal and simple. All you need to do is disable programs that use a lot of RAM. You can do this by going to the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and removing it from the list certain programs. It’s even better to turn them off so that you don’t have to perform this action every time you start a computer, that is, a computer.
