Many modern browsers offer their users to enable synchronization. This is very handy tool, which helps you save your browser data and then access it from any other device where the same browser is installed. This feature works using cloud technologies, reliably protected from any threats.

Yandex.Browser, which works on all popular platforms (Windows, Android, Linux, Mac, iOS), was no exception and added synchronization to the list of its functions. To use it, you need to install it on other devices and enable the corresponding feature in the settings.

View synced tabs

Many users are specifically interested in synchronizing tabs between their devices. If they were enabled during the previous setup, this does not mean that all open tabs on one device will automatically open on the other. To view them, you will need to go to special sections of your desktop or mobile browser.

View tabs on your computer

In Yandex Browser for a computer, access to viewing tabs is not implemented in the most convenient way.


View tabs on a mobile device

Of course, there is also reverse synchronization in the form of viewing tabs open on synchronized devices via a smartphone or tablet. In our case, it will be an Android smartphone.

Using synchronization from Yandex, you can easily reinstall the browser in case of problems, knowing that none of your data will be lost. You will also have access to synchronized information from any device with Yandex.Browser and the Internet.

I have 3 devices on which I periodically work: a home desktop, a work netbook and . The process: “I found an interesting article on the desktop - transferred the link to look at it at work” began to take too much time. Plus, I was afraid of the risk of losing the browser settings created with back-breaking labor. That's how I came up with the idea of ​​setting up a browser with synchronization.

Google Chrome Sync

For me the main browser is . So let's start with it. Besides, Google sync Chrome is the simplest: all you need is a Google account.

  1. Opening Google browser Chrome, click on the menu icon in the upper right corner and select the “Sign in to Chrome” option;
  2. Will open new inset, in which we enter account information: email and password;
  3. To configure synchronization, click “Advanced” in the pop-up window. By default, applications, extensions, CPU settings, autofill, history, themes, bookmarks, passwords and tabs are synchronized. But you can change the synchronization by unchecking the boxes and clicking “Ok”;
  4. Now we log into Chrome on other devices using our Google Account.

How to sync bookmarks in Mozilla

My second browser that I regularly use on home computer and occasionally at work - Mozilla Firefox. How to synchronize bookmarks in Mozilla?

  1. Open the browser and click on the “Menu” icon in the upper right corner;
  2. Find the “Enter synchronization” option in the pop-up window;
  3. A new tab will open in the browser. Click the “Start” button;
  4. Enter your data: email, come up with a password and indicate the year of birth and click “Registration”;
  5. An activation email will be sent to your email. Everything is traditional: open it and follow the specified link;
  6. Done: Mozilla Firefox synchronization is enabled. Now we connect other devices.
  7. We repeat the already familiar action: on another device we open Mozilla browser Firefox, click on the “Menu” icon and select “Enter synchronization”. Check the box "Already available" Account", indicate your email and password for synchronization. Your bookmarks and settings are now synchronized.

I don't use Mozilla Firefox on my . But browser synchronization in Android may come in handy:

  1. Open Mozilla Firefox on your Android device, open the “Menu” and find the “Options” item;
  2. Select the “Synchronization” option, click “Start”, check the “Already have an account” checkbox and enter your email address and password (which you used in the first step to register with Firefox Sync).

Let's move on: synchronizing mozila with chrome

As I already wrote, at work and at home I use two different browsers: This is how it happened historically. Therefore, another pressing question for me is: does mozila synchronize with chrome. The answer is quite obvious: naturally, the developers of these browsers are direct competitors and did not take care of such functionality. But there is a program called Xmarks from third-party developers that will easily complete our task.

  1. Open the Xmarks website, download and install the add-on for each browser;
  2. The Xmarks icon will appear in the list of browser add-ons (to the left of the Menu icon), click on it to configure synchronization;
  3. Create your Xmarks account and log into it with Chrome and Mozilla.

Yandex browser synchronization

I have this Chromium-based browser installed “just in case,” and I use it extremely rarely. But I know that it is gaining popularity: some of my colleagues have completely switched to it. Therefore, Yandex browser synchronization is also a pressing issue.

  1. Everything is traditional: open the Yandex browser, go to the “Menu” and find the “Synchronization” option;
  2. Enter your Yandex account login and password. It is logical to assume that Yandex Browser users already have such an account;
  3. Click “Enable synchronization” and change the parameters in “Change settings”;
  4. By analogy with Chrome, to access your bookmarks on another device, we log into the browser through one Yandex account.

Done: you have a familiar browser with your favorite applications and bookmarks.

Synchronization is the exchange of data between browsers on your devices. For intermediate storage of data, a Yandex server is used, where information is transmitted over a secure channel, and passwords are encrypted. Data on the server is protected by the authorization system used in Yandex services. Synchronization allows you to access data from all your devices and restore data if a device is lost or broken.

  1. What is synchronization?
  2. How to enable synchronization?
  3. Changing the list of data to synchronize
  4. Deleting synced data
  5. Disable synchronization

What is synchronization?

Note. Do not enable synchronization on other people's or public devices; use Incognito mode on them.

Sync by default tabs, bookmarks, passwords, history, extensions, plugins and autofill data.

Synchronization will allow you to:

    Use a password manager on synchronized devices (automatic password replacement, storing passwords in an encrypted storage, restoring access to the site if you have forgotten the master password).

    Set up your browser the same way on all your devices.

    Recover passwords, bookmarks, tabs and browser settings even if your device crashes.

At any time, you can turn off synchronization or change the list of data you want to synchronize.

How often is data synchronized?

Once you have enabled synchronization, it will occur every time you change data stored on the server. For example: you add a bookmark to your computer - the browser sends it to the server and simultaneously downloads all the changes you made on other devices (starting from the last synchronization).

How to enable synchronization?

Attention. If your browser uses multiple profiles, make sure you are in your profile before syncing (otherwise you may mix your settings and data with someone else's profile active in this moment).

Synchronization works when the following conditions are met:

    Yandex Browser is installed on all devices (computer, smartphone, tablet);

When synchronizing, you can use two authentication options:

  • Password Authentication
  • Two-factor authentication

The two-factor authentication mechanism allows you to protect your account more reliably than a traditional password (which must be complex, always remembered, kept from prying eyes, and changed quite often). Even if you take every precaution to protect a traditional password, it is still vulnerable - for example, to viruses that can intercept what you type on the keyboard. With two-factor authentication, you only need to remember a four-digit PIN code and have access to a smartphone or tablet on which the Yandex.Key application with your account is installed.

To enable synchronization:

Note. When you enable device syncing for the first time, it may take anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour. Data is loaded gradually so as not to slow down the browser.
