Stylish extension for chrome. Troubleshooting problems with Stylish in Yandex Browser

Facebook

Stylish is an add-on for Firefox, Chrome and Opera browsers that allows you to change the display styles of sites. After installing the add-on, in order to install the style, select it and click on “Install” in the green box. To activate, deactivate, edit or delete styles, you can use the "Manage" dialog. In the web browser menu, click on “Tools” - “Add-ons” - “User Styles”. You can also perform certain operations from the Stylish extension icon in the status bar at the bottom of the browser screen.

Sometimes it's useful to turn off all styles to see if Stylish is causing any display problems. Instead of deleting all styles, or deactivating the plugin completely, you can use the "Turn all styles off" option, which can be found in the menu that opens when you click on the program icon. There is also an item "Turn all styles on", which will turn on all styles again.

Nowadays, many extensions are appearing, thanks to which working in the browser becomes more comfortable, and certain tasks can be completed faster. But such software products not only give us additional functions, but can also visually change the site by installing themes. One such extension is called Stylish. But some users notice that it does not work in Yandex Browser. Let's look at the possible causes of the problem and consider options for solving them.

You should immediately note that the add-on may not work in different ways - for some it does not install, and for others it is not possible to install a theme for the site. The solutions will also be different. Therefore, you need to find the relevant problem and look at ways to solve it.

Stylish is not installed

In this case, most likely, the problem applies not to one extension, but to all of them at once. If, when installing an extension, you see a similar error window, then the methods given below should help solve this problem.

Method 1: Workaround

If you very rarely use the installation of extensions and do not want to spend time on a full solution to this problem, then you can use a third-party site through which you can install the extension. This installation can be done as follows:

Now you can use the installed extension.

Method 2: Complete solution to the problem

If you plan to install any other add-ons, it is better to solve the problem immediately so that errors do not occur in the future. This can be done by changing the hosts file. For this:

Now you have clean settings for the hosts file and you can install extensions.

Stylish doesn't work

If you have installed the add-on but cannot use it, the following instructions and solutions to this problem will help you.

Method 1: Enable the extension

If the installation was successful, but you do not see the add-on in the browser panel at the top right, as shown in the screenshot below, then it is disabled.

You can enable Stylish as follows:

Now you can install themes for popular sites.

Method 2: Set a different style

If you installed a theme on your site, but its appearance remains the same even after refreshing the page, then this style is no longer supported. You need to deactivate it and install a new style you like. You can do it like this:

These are the main solutions to problems that may arise with the Stylish add-on in Yandex Browser. If these methods do not help solve your problem, then contact the developer through the Stylish download window in the Google store in the tab "Support".

There are no “eternal” programs!

I think you know that companies specializing in the release of software products use a development concept that includes a package of basic functions included in the main program. The implementation of additional functions for this product is achieved by installing special plugins ( plug-in), extensions ( extension) and additions ( add-on). The browser is a typical representative of the line of such programs.

If we talk about the basic functionality of browsers, it is not constant and is often changed by the developer himself. At the same time, program functions that are not popular among users are removed, and the best ones—frequently used and useful add-ons—can be included in a new package. Extensions and plugins are developed both by the developer of this software and by third-party companies.

Why is it necessary to expand browser functions?

So, a plugin, extension or add-on (each program has its own terminology) for a browser is a small computer program that is associated with the browser, “works” inside it and gives it new useful functions. In turn, all plugins can be divided into two groups:

Are common– can be useful to any user;
Specific– in demand by a narrow circle of users.

From my own experience I know how important it is to be aware of all the events happening in the world and those that concern my personal life. For example, I am always interested in exchange rates, weather forecasts for the week ahead, “hot” news, which of my friends were recently on social networks, etc. I really need a program for downloading videos from YouTube, a translator of pages written in a foreign language, an advisor.

Of course, any program or information can be found by a search engine and with its help you can access specialized sites. By switching between their pages, we load the browser with tabs, reducing its speed and the performance of the entire system, and we simply waste time. Several important additions to the browser will solve all the problems listed above - you will be able to get information useful to you without resorting to the help of a search engine.

I like to watch movies on-line, I am interested in music, I communicate on social networks with people of different nationalities. By installing a plugin for downloading music on VKontakte, I can download any track from user pages on this social network to my car with the click of just one button. After I installed the add-ons I needed, the necessary buttons “sat” in the panel of my browser - now everything I need is at my fingertips.

Using a browser add-on, you can add functional support for any data format. So, for example, the extension Adobe Reader allows you to view the contents of a file of this format directly in the browser. I do not need to first download it to my machine and open it using a special program. Office plugins work similarly.

I have only slightly lifted the veil behind which are hidden the possibilities of add-ons, the functions of which are limited except by their demand among the user and the imagination of the developers.

My rating of important browser extensions

Yandex browser, like Opera and Google Chrome, operates with the WebKit engine, so they are all somewhat similar to each other visually and functionally. Although Yandex allows the installation of plugins only from a trusted source, it does not have its own directory, and its basic package contains less than 20 add-ons. However, it will not “swear” if you use extensions from the Opera and Google Chrome catalogs.

In my rating, I want to offer you the best in functionality and most useful extensions. So, let's begin a brief overview of plugins that will make your work on the Internet easier and will open up additional options and tools for you in your browser.

Lightshot

This lightweight application works great in the Yandex browser and other browsers. The plugin allows you to perform a number of actions in a couple of mouse clicks:

The program's pleasant, simple and intuitive interface does not require the user to have any specific skills to work with it. After clicking the button in the browser panel, the program will prompt you to select an image area:

FriGate

The plugin can be installed without any problems in the Yandex browser and works great in other browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Opera). Its main function is to provide the user with uninterrupted access to the desired site. If a user is mistakenly blocked from the site, he will not lose access to it and will be able to work with it without reducing access speed or other inconveniences. This simple plugin easily does the following:

Encrypts traffic;
Unblocks sites;
Speeds up access to the site;
Allows you to change the user's IP address and location.

If the site is not blocked, it will be accessible without a proxy, otherwise the user will be provided with access through a proxy connection.

LastPass

This is a free browser program, a personal “password manager”, a product of the LastPass company. The plugin works perfectly in almost all browsers; for some browsers there is another version of this add-on - the LastPass bookmarklet. Essentially, this is a local storage of user logins and passwords for all sites on which he is registered. How many of your passwords or logins can you remember? With this useful extension, you only need to remember one “master password” to access your storage.

LastPass is the best and most reliable plugin for working with user credentials, allowing you to:

Automatically fill out accounts and online forms;
Encrypt user information;
Create secure and import existing passwords;
Store confidential user data;
Synchronize data between different platforms, browsers and user devices.

Simplify your online experience and forget all your passwords except your LastPass master password.

WOT

By typing a keyword or phrase into a search engine and pressing “Enter,” we see an opening list of sites offered to us. Opening any link from this list is akin to playing Minesweeper - you don’t know whether a useful and clean site will open or one laced with some kind of malicious “damage” from hackers. All you need to do is go to your browser settings, select the “Add-ons” tab and enable the plugin:

The WOT add-on in your browser will mark all dubious and dangerous sites with a special marker. To the right of the resource name you can see a security marker; by its color you can get an idea of how safe this site is and whether it’s worth opening at all:

The WOT extension uses four colors to differentiate network resources according to their degree of danger:

Green– the site is reliable and secure;
Yellow– not a completely reliable resource, may contain pop-up windows, incorrect links or links to non-existent or malicious sites;
Grey– the site is not secure. It is worth considering that recently created sites are marked with such a marker. If the site does not have user ratings, then WOT puts just such a marker.
Red- this resource is extremely dangerous for your PC (the user has one option - get out of here quickly!).

Hover your mouse over the WOT circle located next to the link you are interested in and read the characteristics of this resource. You can see an example in the table below:

Marker color	Resource characteristics
Green
Yellow
Grey
Red

Vk Spy

This is an excellent addition to the browser for those who cannot imagine their existence without the VKontakte social network. With its help, you can track the activity of users of this social network. This plugin will tell you which of your friends went online and when, how much time they spent online, and whether they wrote you a message that they never sent to you for some reason.

In order to take advantage of all the functionality of this add-on, in the VK Spy settings you need to indicate those users whose activity interests you. The program will also record messages that you have not yet read. Simple and convenient, it fits almost all browsers, weighs only 87 kBt and always keeps you up to date with events happening on VKontakte if you are offline.

Adblock Plus

This is the best anti-advertising browser plugin that works successfully on almost all browsers. Now, in addition to 15 “hardware” addons, the catalog of Yandex browser extensions also includes this add-on, which, first of all, will save you from annoying and psyche-killing advertising banners.

In addition, the program performs a whole range of useful functions, blocking:

The developers of this plugin regularly adjust and update the functional set of its rules.

There is browser developmentAdblock with a built-in extension designed to work ontablets and smartphones.

Slick RSS

And of course, I can’t help but mention RSS readers. In this case we are talking about Slick RSS. This extension belongs to the “news readers” line. Many of you may already be using the powerful and popular RSS aggregator Feedly, not realizing that there is an alternative plugin – Slick RSS. It is a free, flexible and lightweight RSS reader that is built into the user's browser. It checks, sorts and updates news on network resources that interest the user. By the way, I already wrote a post on the topic of RSS. It talked about RSS readers installed on a computer. I advise you to take a look, maybe you will find something for yourself. Let's look.

Updated information and news streams come to the user from Google Chrome. The clear and simple interface of this add-on does not contain unnecessary elements; sorting and displaying news is implemented as simply as possible. Its main advantages include:

flexibility of settings;
minimalistic design;
support for sorting news feeds.

If you're interested in news, this lightweight, useful, and free extension saves you the trouble of manually checking for updates on your favorite sites.

VkOpt

VKOpt is the best choice of product in the line of plugins for the VKontakte social network. The product is a multifunctional application that is built into the browser and opens up a lot of hidden possibilities of this social network. Initially, the functionality of this utility was focused only on working with audio/video files, but over the course of its existence it has acquired solid functionality. The process of its modernization is not completed; in the future, the developer promises many new and useful functions.

The benefits of this supplement include:

Optimization of video content dislikes;
Display the ID located in the group/account header; you can activate the function through extra settings;
Ability to download zip archives with mini-albums to your PC;
Easy search for necessary information in discussion topics;
Filtering news feed data by entering key queries;
Find and load all comments to posts, sorting them by the number of likes;
Deletes old photos without affecting albums, etc.

In my opinion, the best features of this extension are:

The ability to quickly view, listen and download video files and audio tracks - now you can download music from a contact with one click;
Manage messages and list of all friends;
Customizing the program interface;
Detailed status history;
Pop-up message windows;
Setting an individual sound scheme for events;
Ability to completely delete correspondence or messages of the selected user;
Expanding notes, photo albums, friends lists and videos to full format;
Ad blocking, etc.

You can also assign a new background to unread messages, enjoy disabling the photo cropping feature for your avatar, and display the icon of your Zodiac sign on your profile. Of course, for downloading music on VKontakte, this is the best - the most convenient, simple and reliable plugin.

The utility works correctly with almost all browsers; there are versions for mobile devices and tablets.

Ghostery

This very powerful and useful browser add-on will allow you to identify network bugs, spies, beacons and pixels hidden on websites and designed to monitor your online activity. They are usually posted on their resources by owners of non-commercial websites, company websites and advertising networks, providers of behavioral information interested in tracking user activity.

Do you need to be followed day and night and bombarded with spam with advertising offers, reminders about yourself and other nonsense? You can easily get rid of the intrusiveness of these resources if you install the Ghostery add-on in your browser. The program is capable of recognizing up to 500 types of bugs, including those belonging to resources such as Facebook and Google.

The program will identify all the blocks tracking you and provide you with a list of them - block those you don’t trust and keep your Internet surfing at a level of complete security and confidentiality!

Vk Downloader

This is another useful and completely free software for the VKontakte social network, which allows you to easily download your favorite video or audio file from its pages. The extension will help you find the best videos/audio recordings, individual songs, and even entire albums with high-quality content.

Main functions:

Downloading video/audio files;
Listen to multimedia in high quality;
Music search (similar to VKontakte search);
Ability to work in tray;
The number of downloads is not limited;
Ability to view song lyrics;
Auto search and download of music albums, etc.

With the convenient and easy-to-manage vk downloader extension, you can download music from a contact and any other multimedia file that you like. The utility is useful and designed for a wide range of users. It will be an excellent assistant to any user, regardless of the genre and style of music that he prefers. The program is simple, reliable, free, regularly updated by the publisher - this is the best choice for downloading music on VKontakte!

This is a very useful extension that takes up minimal space in the browser panel. Its small icon by simply clicking on it opens an information panel with a weather forecast, the time interval and location are determined by the user. The choice of panel color scheme also belongs to the user; plugin visualization is available in three color schemes:

The plugin sits in the browser panel as a small icon; click on it with the mouse and find out the weather forecast for the coming days.

This plugin is an analytical development of the LiveInternet department; most recently it was considered the most popular website analytical system. The LiveInternet metric is easy to use; the utility thoroughly analyzes all data, and displays the result in a tabular or graphical representation. With this add-on you can easily and quickly obtain important static data.

I note that this add-on can be classified as specific software, since it is not used by all users. It is extremely necessary for webmasters and managers and bloggers of various network projects. True, for large projects the utility will not be powerful enough, but the goal that you expect from a static metric solves everything. If, for example, a blogger wants to get simple statistics about his site, the potential of the LiveInternet plugin will be enough for him. The counter of this extension will give him useful stats.

If you need more statistics about the site, it would be wiser to use Yandex Metrica markers - one of the best, free and available statistical systems for network resources today. If this system does not suit you, you can get more useful information from other statistical systems.

This is an excellent and useful utility for Google Chrome . Absolutely simple and convenient plugin will allow you to save the pages you like online in a special storage for easy viewing and reading.

Agree, often while searching for information on the Internet you come across interesting pages or articles that you don’t have time to read, and you really don’t want to lose them. For example, I used to make a special folder in the browser where I put links to information that interested me. Now I am using the supplement and can confidently recommend it for use.

This small program “sits” in the right corner of the browser panel and is “silent”:

After installing the plugin, when you find an interesting article on the Internet, just right-click on it and select the “place in repository” option in the context menu. There is a better way - when you are on the resource page you are interested in, just click on the icon of this add-on and the necessary information will automatically go into storage.

All pages in it are stored in the form of lines or in the form of reduced pages - the choice is up to the user. Then you can share them, download them to your hard drive, delete them, move them; to do this, simply hover your mouse over the desired article in the repository and select the one you need from the options that appear. Agree, it’s quite convenient.

You can download this useful extension both from the official website and in the Google Chrome store. The program is free, installation is standard.

Finally

I really hope that the topic of this blog will be of interest to you and that you will not regret the time you took to read this article. The world of the Internet is large, the browser is the only door through which we all go on a network journey every day. What should you take with you on the road, and what should you discard? Plugins are useful tools for those who know what and how to use them.

I would like to warn you, the reader, against the temptation to stuff your browser with all possible additions. This should not be done for two reasons. Firstly, more than half of them will remain unclaimed by you. Secondly, many plugins contain vulnerabilities and errors that can throw your machine off balance. Therefore, I recommend installing only the applications you need and from trusted sources.

Thank you all for your attention. See you soon!

Among the useful functions of the browser developed by the domestic corporation Yandex, the possibility of modifying it in order to expand the functionality available to the user deserves special attention.

This became possible thanks to the use in the development of another browser - Opera, as a basis for the future program. Despite the fact that an extension for changing the theme will not surprise anyone now, the stylish add-on seems unique.

Theme app

The change seems to be a familiar and even routine operation for the user, not requiring any additions or extensions. However, if you install the stylish add-on for the Yandex browser, you can edit the appearance not of the web surfing program itself, but of the sites you visit, which opens up unprecedented possibilities.

The user can choose the theme he likes for a number of popular portals, such as:

Search aggregators, such as Yandex, Google, Yahoo and others;
Popular social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram;
Most other sites.

This application, in itself, is a kind of theme manager for websites, allowing you to easily download new ones and delete old ones, as well as edit animation, font size, color schemes and a number of other parameters of web pages available in the settings.

Due to the fact that the Yandex browser is based on the popular Opera, as well as Chrome, add-ons for them work flawlessly in all three programs.

Installation process

In order for the user to be able to create his own unique Facebook design for further use, he will need to install the application. The installation process is completely standard and involves the following algorithm of actions. First, the user goes to the extension page either in the corresponding service or on the official stylelish website, after which he should click the download button.

Upon completion, the user will be prompted to install the extension, which they should agree to and wait for the process to complete. Then, you will need to go to the installed add-ons by first clicking on the icon of three horizontal bars located in the upper right corner, and then in the list that appears, selecting the desired item.

Having found the installed extension, you will need to enable it by clicking the appropriate button, after which the user will have full access to its functionality.
