How to Restore Lost Tabs on Yandex Browser
If you’re a regular user of Yandex Browser, it can be frustrating to lose open tabs as you navigate different pages and windows. Luckily, Yandex Browser has several built-in features that enable you to restore lost tabs easily. In this article, we’ll dive into the common reasons for losing tabs, how to enable the tab restore feature, restoring tabs from your browsing history, using keyboard shortcuts to restore tabs, and tips for restoring tabs after a crash. Read on to learn how to get your tabs back quickly and efficiently.
Understanding Lost Tabs in Yandex Browser
In Yandex Browser, tabs are the small clickable objects that represent your open web pages. They are located at the top of the browser window and allow you to easily switch between different web pages.
However, in some cases, you may find that these tabs disappear or abruptly close, leading to lost tabs. This can be frustrating, especially if you were working on something important or had several tabs open that you needed to reference.
Common reasons for losing tabs
The following are the most common reasons why tabs may get lost in Yandex Browser:
Accidentally closing a tab or the entire browser window: This is a common mistake that can happen to anyone. You may accidentally click the close button on a tab or the X button on the browser window, which will close all open tabs.
Browsing for long periods and overloading the browser: If you have too many tabs open or are browsing for an extended period, you may overload the browser. This can cause it to become slow or unresponsive, leading to lost tabs.
An unexpected browser crash or a power outage: Sometimes, Yandex Browser may crash unexpectedly due to a software error or other issue. Additionally, a power outage or other interruption can cause the browser to close suddenly, leading to lost tabs.
How Yandex Browser manages tabs
By default, Yandex Browser tab management is designed to limit resource usage and ensure that your computer runs smoothly. Yandex Browser has a default number of tabs that it can handle at a given time. Beyond this limit, any new tab will replace the least recently used tab. This feature can cause tabs to disappear, especially if you open too many tabs at once.
However, you can adjust the number of tabs that Yandex Browser can handle by going to the browser settings. From there, you can increase or decrease the number of tabs that the browser can handle at once.
In addition, Yandex Browser has a feature called "Tab Freeze" that can help prevent lost tabs. This feature automatically suspends tabs that are not in use, freeing up system resources and reducing the likelihood of a browser crash. When you return to a suspended tab, it will automatically reload and resume where you left off.
Overall, while lost tabs can be frustrating, there are several steps you can take to prevent them from happening. By being mindful of the number of tabs you have open and using features like Tab Freeze, you can ensure that your browsing experience is smooth and uninterrupted.
Enabling the Tab Restore Feature
If you’ve lost tabs in Yandex Browser, the tab restore feature comes in handy. Here’s how to enable it:
Accessing Yandex Browser settings
To enable the tab restore option, open Yandex Browser and click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the browser window. This will open a dropdown menu. From the dropdown menu, select “Settings.
Customizing tab restore settings
Once you’re in the settings panel, scroll down to the “Advanced section and click “Privacy and security. Next, click the “Autosave tabs option and select “Always” in the dropdown menu. You can customize this setting to your preference.
Restoring Tabs from Your Browsing History
If you can’t find your lost tabs, you can restore them using your browsing history. Here’s how:
Opening the browsing history
On the browser toolbar, click on the clock icon (the recently closed items button), and then select “History”. This will open a page that has all the webpages you visited, including the closed tabs.
Identifying lost tabs in the browsing history
Scan through the history page and identify the tabs you lost. You can use the search bar at the top to look for specific web pages by keywords or phrases.
Restoring individual tabs or entire sessions
To restore an individual tab, hover over the webpage title, click the right mouse button, and select “open in a new tab”. If you want to restore all the tabs from a browsing session, right-click on the page and select “restore all closed tabs”.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts to Restore Tabs
In Yandex Browser, you can restore tabs using default keyboard shortcuts or customize your own. Here’s how to do it:
Default keyboard shortcuts for Yandex Browser
The default keyboard shortcuts for restoring tabs on Yandex Browser are:
”Ctrl + Shift + T” on Windows or Linux.
”Cmd + Shift + T” on Mac.
Customizing keyboard shortcuts

Restoring Tabs After a Crash
Crashes happen, but with Yandex Browser, there’s no need to worry about losing tabs permanently. Here are tips for restoring tabs after a browser crash:
Identifying the cause of the crash
If your browser crashes frequently, it’s important to identify the cause. Check your internet connection, update the browser to the latest version, clear outdated extensions and cookies, and disable extensions one at a time until you find the culprit.
Recovering tabs automatically after a crash
After a browser crash, open Yandex Browser again. The browser will automatically suggest restoring the last session. If you select this option, Yandex Browser should automatically restore all tabs you had open before the crash.
Troubleshooting persistent crashes
If the tips above don’t resolve frequent browser crashes, consider reinstalling Yandex Browser or using another browser entirely. Ensure that your computer has sufficient resources to run Yandex Browser optimally and doesn’t have conflicting programs or malware.
