Autofill for forms

When you first enter information (such as name, address, or phone number) in the site form, Yandex Browser remembers it. The next time you enter it, Yandex Browser suggests autofill options. This saves time.

Privacy risks of autofill
  • If you share the computer with other people, they can open Yandex Browser, view your data, and log in to websites under your name. We recommend using Incognito mode or disabling autofill when you work on shared computers.
  • If malware gets access to autofill data, hackers may steal it.

Autofill search queries

Queries in SmartBox

By default, Yandex Browser stores the entire history except queries in Incognito mode. Your previous queries are marked with a dot to the right as you enter them again.

Note. You can't turn off saving queries in the SmartBox. If you don't want your search queries to be saved in Yandex Browser, use Incognito mode.

To delete a query saved in Yandex Browser, right-click it and select Delete suggestion. If you want to delete all queries, clear your browsing history.

Queries in the Yandex search box

If you are logged in to Yandex, your queries are saved by default. When you enter a query again, it is highlighted in purple. Additionally, the sites that you visit frequently will appear first in the search suggestions list.

You can disable saving Yandex Search queries and frequently visited pages on the Search settings page.
