I can't delete the background
You can't completely disable or remove a Yandex Browser background. Try setting a single-color background instead of an image. Open the Colors album in the Yandex Browser background gallery, select the color you like, and click Use this background.
Restriction
You can't select a white background. This is because Yandex Browser elements (like links, widgets, and button names) should be visible on any background.
