Number and size of tabs
There's no limit to the number of tabs that you can open in Yandex Browser, but having a lot of tabs open might overload your computer's processor and memory.
Note
You can have several dozen tabs open simultaneously in the browser. To avoid overloading your computer's memory and resources, Yandex Browser doesn't load more than 10 tabs when you launch it. Furthermore, it loads them consecutively, rather than simultaneously. Videos only start playing in the active tab.
Tab width
If you have more than 50 tabs open in the browser, the horizontal scrolling icon appears to the right of them. To prevent tabs from becoming too small when you have a lot open:
-
Click → Settings → Interface.
-
In the Tabs and groups section, enable the Limit minimum tab width option.
Tab preview
Many open tabs become difficult to navigate. So when you hover over a tab, the browser displays a thumbnail of the page. If you want to disable tab preview:
-
Click → Settings → Interface.
-
In the Tabs and groups section, disable the option Show tab thumbnails on hover.
Duplicate tabs
If you accidentally click the same link in an external app multiple times, several identical tabs will open in Yandex Yandex Browser. To prevent this from happening, go to → Settings → Interface and enable the option Do not duplicate tabs when opening from external apps.
