To promote products and increase website revenue, resource owners sometimes take the “dark path” by adding a lot of annoying messages. However, pop-ups are just a tool that can be used for both good and bad purposes for the end user. Due to their ambiguous use, sometimes pop-up windows in the Yandex browser have to be disabled, and at other times they have to be enabled (perhaps on just one or several sites). We will tell you everything about the features of working with drop-down windows, as well as their purpose and configuration in the Yandex web browser in this instructional article.
Pop-ups, notifications, alerts - the same or different
Many users believe that the names are different, but the meaning of all expressions is completely identical. This is not entirely true, phrases are indeed often used as synonyms, but there are differences, and they are very significant.
Let's try to understand the features of each type:
- Additional windows that pop up randomly or after clicking on a certain element of the site. They are a smaller (most often) version of a window with certain content. Ads are often inserted here, but sometimes they act as some kind of event handler. For example, during transactions with electronic money, pop-up windows often appear in which the transfer of funds is confirmed. If such content is blocked, the transaction will not be able to complete.
- Notifications are small push messages. They also appear on the target site, but do not create a separate window, everything happens in the same tab. Most often, a proposal appears here to subscribe to the news of a web resource.
- Notifications – messages about changes on the site. Most users are familiar with them thanks to social networks. A notification about a new video, like, comment, message, etc. is sent to your email or through an application on your smartphone.
Each element is a tool that can be useful. In such cases, it is better to enable the message display function. If there is no need for various notifications, we can turn them off.
By the way! It is not at all necessary to disable or enable one of the web browser features completely. We can add a specific site to exceptions. It will display push messages even if the global browser setting is turned off or vice versa.
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla, like other web browsers, provides the ability to disable pop-up windows. In order to do this, you need:
1. In the Mozilla Firefox browser settings, select the “Privacy and Security” section, which is located on the left of the screen.
2. In the “Permissions” section, click on the notification panel.
In the window that opens, you can view lists of pages that are allowed or denied access to display information on the screen. These lists can be edited if desired.
To completely block notifications in Mozilla Firefox, enter the command in the search bar: about:config
On the loaded tab we find the lines: dom.push.enabled dom.webnotifications.enabled
Next, you should see if the value “false” is opposite them. If not, then you should set it and restart the browser.
Now you can be sure that no Internet resources control your connection to the network and will not notify you about their promotions and news.
How to enable notifications in Yandex browser
We can activate the display of notifications in almost the same ways as in the case of additional windows:
- Through “Settings” go to the “Sites” section and find the “Sending notifications” column. Set the option to “Allowed” to automatically display messages. To avoid abuse of the function by unscrupulous site owners, we can select the “Request permission” option. Thus, each time we will decide for ourselves whether we want to see notifications on the site we are viewing or not.
- From the notice. It only works if the “Ask permission” setting is selected. When opening the site, a small window appears under the “Smart line” - “... requests permission to: show notifications.” If we click the Allow button, a message will be displayed.
- From the site settings. Click on the padlock or planet icon (to the right of the site’s URL) and click on the toggle switch under the line “Receive notifications from the site.” For the changes to be applied, reload the page with the F5 button.
After completing one of the listed methods, we allow you to display notifications from sites. Now messages will appear on the desktop or display indicating that interesting material has appeared on the web resource.
The nuances of enabling alerts
When a site intends to send notifications to the user, the Yandex browser will offer to allow or block their appearance. If a similar message does not appear under the smart bar, then the problem lies in incorrect application settings. To unblock requests to display alerts, you should open your browser settings and go to the fourth section. You will then need to check the position of the corresponding switch and re-activate this function if necessary.
To protect yourself from harmful or disturbing content, you should not agree to requests to display push messages to continue reading or to protect yourself from robots. When the user confirms the intention, after a while the dangerous site will begin to attack with alerts containing links to fraudulent or obscene sites. Notifications may appear every few minutes and cannot be dismissed by clicking the cross.
To disable dangerous push notifications, you need to go to the list of sending sites. You can find the desired resource at an address that is a random set of letters and located on domains such as xyz, site, pw, cc, or ones not previously encountered.
How to allow notifications to arrive by email in Yandex Browser
This option does not apply to the browser, but is implemented on the side of the site itself, so it must be activated in the settings of the web resource. In 80% of cases, the site automatically turns on sending notifications immediately after confirming your email address. However, if the function was disabled manually or is not activated automatically, we can force it to start.
For an example of enabling notifications, let’s take the popular social network VKontakte:
- Log in to your profile.
- In the top line to the right of the main block with information there is a line with the user name, click on it.
- In the list that opens, click on the “Settings” button.
- Go to the “Notifications” section from the menu (located to the right of the work area).
- Scroll to the end of the list and see “Email Notifications”. Here we indicate the email address and type of events, notifications about which will be sent in the form of a letter.
There are similar tools on other sites, but their location may vary. In theory, the option is always located in the intuitive settings subsection.
Ways to disable site notifications in the browser from Yandex on a computer
First, you will need to open your browser settings, go to the site configuration section and click on the other resources link. Notification controls will appear on the screen. To disable, you need to hover your mouse over the line with the required address. Links will appear on the right to remove an entry from the list and block display.
To perform an action, you need to move the mouse pointer to the right and click on the button. You also need to make sure that the cursor does not jump off the line. If this happens and the action was performed by mistake for a different address, then you need to return the previous prohibited state by finding the resource on the adjacent subtab of the window.
You can also manually add the site for which you want to turn off notifications. To do this, go to the appropriate list, press the button and enter the desired address there. Disabling push messages from Yandex services on the desktop version is done on a special page by unchecking the boxes. Changes are saved immediately.
It is worth considering that in the Yandex browser you cannot disable all notifications at once forever. This operation is performed manually for each alert. You can also disable push messages for 3 hours. To ensure that requests for sending notifications do not distract from visiting sites, the corresponding switch in the settings is set to the desired position.
Disable notifications.

Main types of alerts
Yandex.Browser implements a system of prompt messages that provide the user with information about actions on websites and social networks. When it starts, all missed notifications are displayed one by one, on top of each other. Priority alerts appear at the top. Each stack can contain no more than 3 pushes. If the user closes one of them, the remaining notifications will immediately pop up.
Alerts in Yandex Browser are displayed in the lower right corner of the screen. On the left side of the card there is an icon of the resource that sent the notification, and in the middle there is a title and small text containing basic information. If you click on an object, you will be taken to a specified site, for example, a YouTube video, an email, or a page on VKontakte.
A Yandex Browser user should know how to disable notifications.

How to disable email notifications in Yandex web browser
We can unsubscribe from sending news to an email address through the mailbox or the settings of the site itself.
Instructions:
- Open your own email account.
- Click on a letter from a site whose messages are undesirable.
- We scroll through it to the end and look for the “Unsubscribe” button or similar. Often the button is duplicated at the top of the page, opposite the email address from which the message came.
- After clicking on the link, we are taken to a website where you need to indicate a reason (optional) and a message about the successful refusal to receive mail is displayed.
There may not be a required link below the message. In this case, you will have to log in to the site and turn off notifications through the settings. Sometimes the service even forces you to add his email address to the mail blacklist.
How to turn off notifications
How to disable notifications in the Yandex browser? In this case, the user should not have any difficulties. Let's take a closer look at how to properly disable notifications:
- You need to launch the browser program;
- Next you need to press the menu button;
- Here you need to go to the “Settings” tab;
- After this, select “Show advanced settings”;
- The “Notifications” block will be present here;
- In the end, all that remains is to enable the refusal of notifications.
It should be understood that this method blocks absolutely all notifications. However, if you want to prohibit reminders for specific sites, then there is an “Exceptions” tab for this. Here the user can set preferred and undesired alerts.
Important: Yandex browser, as a rule, shows alerts from social networks, mail and directly from the search engine itself.
We enable and disable notifications on individual sites (VK, YouTube, etc.)
There is a way to enable notifications in VK in the Yandex browser without activating the display of messages from other sites. We can create a separate rule for one or several sites. Such settings have higher priority and do not depend on the general notification settings.
Algorithm of actions:
- Open the “Settings” section of your web browser.
- Enter the word “browser notifications” into the search.
- In the thematic section, click on the “From other sites” button.
- Open a new tab, go to the target site from which you want to receive notifications, and copy its domain. For example, vk.com, youtube.com, etc.
- We return to the previous tab, go to the “Prohibited” section and click on the “Add” button (top right).
- Paste the link and confirm the action using the Enter key on the keyboard.
To achieve the opposite result and enable VK notifications in the Yandex web browser, you need to do almost the same thing. First, we remove the added site from the “Forbidden” section (hover the mouse cursor over it). Secondly, go to the “Allowed” section and add it to this section.
As we can see from the article, enabling and disabling any notifications from VKontakte, YouTube and other services in the Yandex browser is not at all difficult. It is only important to set the right goal and understand the differences between pop-up windows, email alerts and website notifications. The process of activation and deactivation is a matter of technology. All necessary instructions are provided above.
