Hello, dear readers of the blog site! Rapid development information technology in general and the Internet in particular creates the preconditions for the emergence of various useful to users and webmasters of chips. Yandex Bar, which has now been renamed Yandex Elements, became such a popular addition to the RuNet mirror.
One of the parts of the functionality of the previous Bar was Visual Bookmarks, which are now separated into a separate extension. In my opinion, this greatly enriches the choice, since now there is no need to install the entire panel of the same Elements, most of the functionality of which may never be useful, if you can simply download Visual Bookmarks as a separate line. Below we will look at how to install this add-on in . In addition, there is such an addition as .
How to download and install Yandex bookmarks for Chrome, Mazila and Internet Explorer
For those who don't know, just in case I'll say that Visual bookmarks is an add-on for browsers that allows you to navigate to the right pages in one click. Quite so useful option, given the value of time in our fast-paced age. You can download this add-on for any of the above-mentioned web browsers from this page, owned by Yandex:
Keep in mind that the application will be downloaded specifically for the browser in which it is opened. this page loading, which, however, is quite natural. Some of you are probably wondering why the Opera web browser, which is also one of the TOP best (especially in RuNet), is not mentioned in this regard. The fact is that the initially built-in one is a complete analogue of Visual Bookmarks, so this extension not relevant for this reviewer.
Installing an extension for any browser - be it , (here everything is even simpler - after downloading you will be immediately prompted to install VZ as an extension) or - should not cause any difficulties. After downloading the launch file, activate it double click mouse and install the application as usual. At the beginning of the installation, you will be asked to make Yandex the start page, install Yandex search by default and allow data about your preferences to be used when acting on the Internet. However, all these options can be canceled later.
The last point is considered by many to be almost spy monitoring. Well, this opinion can be understood, since all this can be presented as a restriction of personal confidentiality. I am calm about this, since the data is used in an anonymous form, and the information is collected for a reason, but to improve the relevance of the search results. Moreover, the user is given a choice, and no one forbids him to refuse this function in the future.
After that, click the “Next” button and set the tabs as normal application. For example, after installing and restarting the browser Google Chrome e will notify you of the availability of a new extension in the form of orange stripes of the “Tools” icon in the right corner of the web browser window:
By clicking on the line indicating the availability of just installed application, go to the “Extensions” section, where you can enable Visual Bookmarks for Google Chrome by checking the “Enable” option:
IN Mozilla Firefox, as I noted above, downloading and installing tabs from Yandex is even easier and faster, as a result, the presence of the extension can be checked by following the path “Tools” → “Add-ons” → “Extensions”, where you can disable or even delete Bookmarks from Yandex.
Bookmarks for Internet Explorer(latest versions) after standard download and installation, you can manage (turn on and off) if you select from the “Service” section located in top menu or command line, line “Customize add-ons” and in the “Toolbars and extensions” section check the desired line. You can then enable or disable the add-in by clicking on the corresponding button.
How to set up Visual Bookmarks for Chrome, Mozilla and Explorer
Well, now let’s look at the tab settings for all browsers. By opening any browser and installing the Yandex extension there, let’s see what editing options are available to us. Once activated, visual tabs will display the sites you visit most, whether in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer:
Of course, the generated website logos only appear if you open a blank page in the browser. If you move the cursor to one of the empty rectangles, a “+” icon will appear, which indicates the possibility of creating a new visual tab. The next time you click on the plus sign, a form will appear where you need to enter data characterizing the future tab:
We register in the appropriate URL strings site, taking the address from the list of the most visited resources and the name of the newly created tab. Subsequently, you can perform some manipulations with the created visual bookmark, which I will discuss below.
Here you can change the number of visual tabs used on the page by moving the corresponding slider left or right (maximum number is 25), change the background, including adding to the set background pictures by uploading your image (the “Upload” button). If you use the “Other options” button, you will be able, for example, to disable the collection of statistics on your preferences when using a web browser in favor of Yandex by unchecking the box. Remember at the beginning of the article when installing the extension I mentioned this?
Among other things, you can decide whether to display search string and a bookmarks bar. And finally, when the cursor approaches an existing picture, a panel consisting of three icons will appear:
The “Customize” gear icon allows you to replace an existing tab by inserting another from the list of other bookmarks located below, or by inserting a URL and a description of the site corresponding to a given address, just as I described above inserting a tab into empty place. An icon in the form of a “Pin” button indicates an action after which this place will be assigned to the logo of this site. Well, I think it’s unnecessary to explain the purpose of the “Delete” symbol. At the end there is a small 4D show:
It’s worth installing Yandex visual bookmarks just because they make it much easier to navigate through the resources you visit. Opera has long had an Express panel, but other popular Internet browsers do not have this installed. Therefore, downloading this application is completely justified. The gadget can be installed on Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

They are saved in case of reinstallation operating system, they can be synchronized between browsers. All this makes bookmarks convenient and practical for those who like to travel on the Internet.
Working with bookmarks can significantly save time when moving from one page to another. If you like a site, you bookmark it. Then you can come back after some time. Gradually, a lot of such bookmarks accumulate, and it is difficult to remember what site you saved a month ago. Bookmark bars do not help the situation much, as they take up space in the browser. Visual bookmarks, unlike text ones, are more informative - these are small snapshots of sites. They can be sorted and placed into groups by topic. The very first browser that started using bookmarks was Opera. They were called Speed Dial. Users liked them so much that they began to be implemented in other browsers. To bring up the bookmarks bar in Google Chrom and Opera, simply click on the “+” sign at the end of the tab bar and the Quick Bar will appear. You don't have to install add-ons or make settings. Bookmarks can be deleted, moved, added. IN latest versions favorite by many users Google browser Chrom bookmarks began to “remember” visited sites themselves. This is not always convenient and not everyone likes it. Therefore, it is better to install the Speed Dial add-on to manage bookmarks. To do this, type https://chrome.google.com/webstore in the address bar, enter the name of the add-on “Speed Dial” in the search bar, press “Enter”. Then select it in the list that opens, click blue button“Install (Free).” Confirm the action – “Add”. Once the installation is complete, click the add new tab button after the most recent one. A window will open with twelve blank bookmarks. Select the first one, enter the address of the desired site and its name, save the result. So edit the required number of visual bookmarks. In the Speed Dial 2 version, you can add a site logo to the bookmark, selecting it from the standard ones, or specifying your own. A beautiful logo can be found. Unlike Google Chrom and Opera, Firefox does not yet have built-in visual bookmarks. Therefore, you need to install the add-on. The most neutral option is also Speed Dial. Download the add-on from addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/speed-dial/. The page will load, on which click “+ Add to Firefox”. The add-on is small in size and will install quickly. Confirm the installation by clicking the "Download Now" button. Restart Firefox. In the window initial setup Check the boxes where necessary. Edit empty bookmarks as described for Google Chrome. In addition to bookmarks from Yandex, you can create convenient visual bookmarks using the Motix service. The service has many advantages: an unlimited number of bookmarks, they can be opened on any computer, just type motix.ru in the address bar, enter your login and password.
