Lost in information flow? The Internet nowadays offers tons of information for every taste and in any format. Filtering on your own can take a lot of time for the user. It's time to find ways for someone to help weed out and remove the unnecessary, turn off the unnecessary and present only useful information. One of these services is Zen from Yandex, which can be enabled and configured directly in the browser.
Zen will help you deal with the news
Zen from Yandex is a recommendation service that compiles all news into a long feed based on user preferences. In the era of social networks, the possibilities of flexible filtering of one’s own chronicle will no longer surprise anyone. But this service will do everything for you. Zen will analyze the sites the user visits, the videos he watches, the articles he reads and compiles a personal list containing exclusively useful and interesting materials.
At the same time, the service constantly performs analytical work, monitors changes in the user’s interests, and takes into account duplicate information. The feed begins to display information not only from sites that the user has already visited, but also from others with similar topics. With each subsequent stage of analysis, the Zen chronicle becomes more and more individual, and offers from the service more and more accurately correspond to a person’s interests.
If preferences change, more materials appear in the chronicle in accordance with the user’s new hobbies. Duplicate information is destroyed.

How to add and connect
Where is
All Yandex services are conveniently integrated with each other, creating a unified information environment for the user. Therefore, when installing Yandex Browser, Zen will be available immediately, without additional steps. News will appear at the bottom of the search engine's main screen when you open a new tab.
You can scroll through the feed endlessly with a simple mouse wheel movement. The chronicle displays news announcements with links to the source. By clicking on the tile of a specific news, you can go to its full text.
Yandex differs from other similar services in that it checks all sites that are used in the search results for accuracy and compliance with age restrictions.
It happens that when you open your browser, you will not see news tiles - this happens if you started using Yandex.Browser only recently. It takes some time to conduct a preliminary analysis of preferences, collect a database of interests, and generate search results.
What to do if the service is not in the browser feed
Have you been using a browser from Yandex for a long time, but there are no recommendations there? Perhaps your Zen service is simply disabled. To enable Zen, go to your browser settings (usually hidden under the three-bar icon in the upper right corner of the search engine window).
- After clicking on the button with three stripes, select “Settings” from the menu.
- In the window that opens, find the section called “Appearance Settings”, there check the box in the item “Show Zen - personal recommendations feed in a new tab”.
- Can't find such an item? Dont be upset. This is probably because the new browser interface is disabled. In the appearance settings block there is a button “Enable new interface”. Click it.
- If your browser does not contain these settings at all, then it’s time to update it. In the search engine menu (button with three bars), find the item “About the browser” or with a similar name. It is usually at the end of the list of items.
- The next window will display the browser version and availability of updates. If updates are available, the Update button will be available. Click it. Once the update is complete, you will be prompted to restart your browser. Perform this action, after which the recommendations display should begin to function.
In the same way you can turn on Zen on mobile device with Android and iOS OS. For operating room MacOS systems Zen on this moment not available.
How to set up Yandex.Zen
In order for the analysis algorithm to work better and understand your preferences, its developers proposed an original scheme for independently limiting the range of interests of the user. This is not a mandatory step, but it will help the service quickly navigate the variety of topics. The user is asked to select the sources he likes in a minimum quantity of 5 pieces.
At the same time, the feed configured through the initial selection of resources of interest may differ significantly from the one that would have been compiled after some time only on the basis of a machine analysis of the user’s news selection.
In addition, under each news post there is an opportunity to like or dislike. But this rating does not relate to the essence of the content of the news; it shows Yandex that you want to see more or less of this content.
That is, if you are interested in material on a given topic, but you do not agree with one specific news, opinion or are outraged by it, your hand will reach out to dislike it. However, the browser will interpret this as your reluctance to see posts on such topics in the future. From time to time, the browser will display messages about reducing the number of unwanted publications in your feed or an offer to block the news source itself.
After using Zen for some time, it will learn to most accurately adapt to the user’s interests and show only materials that have caused a positive response from the user.
How to disable and remove
Of course, each technology has its side effects, which can sooner or later start to annoy the user. Zen is guilty of this too. Advertising blocks from advertising network Yandex (YAN), which you can click on quite by accident, carried away by a bright headline compiled by competent marketers.
Then the user decides to disable Zen in the browser. Doing this is as easy as turning it on. The action is carried out according to the reverse connection scheme.
- You need to go to the browser settings (the three-bar icon, then the “Settings” item).
- In the “Appearance Settings” block, uncheck the “Show Zen personal recommendations feed in a new tab.”
- After restarting the browser, the ribbon will disappear from the tabs.

Probably, the work of some important system component browser.
Reinstalling it manually will help. Here's how it's done:

One of the innovations from the Russian search engine became Zen - a service that appeared just a few years ago.
What is this service?
Yandex.Dzen is a so-called personalized feed of network publications. Its peculiarity is that it is selected taking into account the interests of the user.
That is, if a person often searches the Internet for information about any historical events, then the search engine will analyze his actions and start looking for exactly such materials in Dzen.
The daily army of ten million visitors to this service clearly indicates its good popularity among users. However, there are those who do not want to see it and prefer to remove Yandex Zen from the main page of the browser.
Naturally, you should know how to do this.
Naturally, the options for how to remove Zen from the start page of a particular browser may be slightly different. In addition, there are differences in the methodology that is suitable for a personal computer from the option applicable on a smartphone. Let's look at them all separately.
On the computer
There are three Internet browsers where you can most often find a similar system. Therefore, you need to know the possibilities for getting rid of it in each of them:
"Yandex. Browser"
- Go to the main page of this software;
- Click on the three horizontal stripes located in the upper right corner of the program;
- Go to “Settings”, then to appearance settings;
- A new window will appear with a small list. In it, find an item that suggests showing this Internet service in each new tab;
- You must uncheck the box and save the changes.
In some situations, this technique does not work. If this is indeed the case, then it recommends completely demolishing hard drive online browser, perform a clean installation and repeat the method described above.
By the way, you can also log out of your own Yandex profile, but this will lead to a limitation of functionality that may be useful to the user.
Google Chrome
This software was once the basis for the Internet browser from Yandex, so the method for getting rid of Dzen is not much different:
- Go to “Settings” in the same way;
- Select “advanced options”;
- Familiarize yourself with the proposed features and uncheck the box next to the functionality responsible for posting Yandex.Zen.
You can deactivate the work altogether visual bookmarks. But then this will remove everything, not just one Dzen. So it's better to do it this way:
- In Google Chrome settings, select “Open at startup”;
- Next – click on add next to the specified pages;
- Delete all suggested search engine options, specify only the preferred one;
- We set it as a priority search engine and remove all unnecessary things in the nearby settings;
- All you have to do is take advantage system function“uninstall programs” to get rid of the Yandex button.
By the way, you can not only delete the Dzen tape, but also adjust it at your own discretion. For example, if you don’t like some posts, you can click “dislike” (thumbs down). This will allow you to show less of these types of posts. Get rid of them completely, replacing them with others? The same “dislike” with an additional click on “block” - you won’t see this channel again.
Mozilla Firefox
At the first stage, you need to clean the main page of the program from those publications that Yandex.Dzen added there. After this, repeat the same steps:
- Go to parameters;
- Then - to additional ones;
- Unchecking the corresponding item from the proposed list of available functionality.
All this works great on PC. How do things go with this problem on smartphones?
On the phone
In this case, the technique should also not cause any special problems:
- The user is required to go to the settings menu of the web browser used;
- Find similar functionality in it that adds a “Zen” ribbon;
- Set the slider to the prohibiting position.
The method works great on all major mobile operating systems. That is, both on Android OS and iOS OS.
