Hello dear readers of the blog site. The Yandex bar, about which I once wrote in some detail, has ceased to exist. It had quite a few useful options and it had a right to exist. But not everything is so sad, in fact a simple thing happened.

The socket has become more compact, lightweight and not so intrusive, but the essence remains the same, especially since the bar can be easily updated with elements. A similar situation with renaming occurs in other Internet giants, for example, a free-mail service that has earned a not very good reputation.

Personally, I liked the bar most of all for such an option as visual bookmarksYandex added to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer to conveniently navigate your most visited resources. By the way, I recently found a worthy alternative - which in many ways surpasses the brainchild of Yandex.

On the way to the cherished goal they will try to intercept and persuade you, but you are persistent and do not succumb to provocation, although I really liked him in his current incarnation.

Set visual bookmarks It will not be more complicated than any other fortochny application. The only thing is that at the first step of the installation wizard you will be asked (which is nice) to turn off all additional pribludy, namely the default search, to do and, which is especially nice, you can disable the spyware module, which collects data about which sites we need like and which not:

It is clear that the search engine needs this data to build a more relevant search result, but not everyone likes it when they spy on them, albeit with good intentions. Then the installer will reconfigure your browser and it will start with an open new (empty) page:

The screenshot shows the appearance of the page with Yandex bookmarks for Google Chrome   and I like them the most, for they almost duplicate the Express Opera panel, which I’m very used to.

When you move the mouse cursor to an empty rectangle, a “+” sign will appear on it, clicking on which you will get the opportunity create new tab   based on the pages previously opened in the browser, or simply by entering the desired URL and the name of the future bookmark in the appropriate fields:

Then it can be freely dragged with the mouse to any convenient place, which easily allows you to sort the sites you need in the sequence you need. In addition, when you move the mouse cursor to any of the created tabs in its upper part, you will see a control panel with four buttons:

Using them, you can delete a bookmark, update a screenshot of a mortgaged site, change something in the settings (assign a different URL, change the name or set another period for updating the screenshot), and also hide it. I did not understand the last option for what it is possible to use, because the hole still remains in the place of the hidden tab, having led to which the cursor will appear.

At the bottom of the page with the visual tabs of Yandex in Google Chrome there is a “Settings” button, which will allow you to change the appearance of the panel to your preference (change the possible number of rectangles, add a background and set the period for updating screenshots).

Visual Tabs for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer

For Mozilla Firefox and Internet explorer   they look the same and you can download them all at the same link:

But, in my opinion, the new version of Firefox bookmarks from Yandex is significantly inferior in terms of convenience to the tabs described above for Google Chrome. This case looks somehow more clumsy and stupid, despite the fact that the old version for Firefox did not have such drawbacks (the best is the enemy of the good). Although, the taste and color ... Moreover, with old bookmarks.

The image of the tab now uses not a screenshot of the site being laid, but a certain logo, which most often is the name taken from this site itself. The color scheme of the tabs is also selected based on the shades available on the site:

The new version of visual bookmarks for Mazila Firefox is proud number 2.5 and allows you to not only manually add new sites, but it also inserts the most frequently visited resources onto the panel. Is it convenient? Personally, I don’t, but maybe you will like it. The plus is that immediately after setting the tabs in Firefox and IE, you will see the Yandex panel filled with the most frequently visited sites before.

When you move the mouse cursor to any of them, you can pin it using the corresponding icon. Why is this needed? Well, so that with the invasion of more popular resources, this particular tab would remain in place:

The button in the form of a gear serves to change the site to which this tab will lead:

In the new version of the express panel for Mazila and the Donkey, I did not understand how they can be moved and sorted. Dragging and dropping the mouse does not solve this problem. To add new tabs to the sites you need, just click on the "Settings" button in the lower right corner.

As a result, a window opens where you can set the number of bookmarks in the panel and change the background image. If you click on the "Advanced Settings" button, you can disable the spyware module by unchecking the corresponding box.

But still, the new versions of visual bookmarks for Mazila and IE left a purely negative impression (maybe I didn’t get it or something), so I don’t use them yet, but the version of Yandex tabs for Google Chrome, on the contrary, causes me only positive emotions. Probably, various developers worked on them. If you want to return to the past, then use the link to version 1.5 provided above.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

Hello dear readers of the blog site! The rapid development of information technology in general and the Internet in particular creates the prerequisites for the appearance of various chips useful to users and webmasters. Yandex Bar, which is now renamed to Yandex Elements, became such a popular addition from the Runet mirror.

One part of the functionality of the previous Bar was Visual Bookmarks, which are now highlighted in a separate extension. In my opinion, this greatly enriches the choice, since now there is no need to completely install the panel of the same Elements, most of the functionality of which may never be useful if you can just download Visual Bookmarks as a separate line. Below we will consider how to install this add-on. In addition, there is such an addition as.

How to download and set bookmarks from Yandex for Chrome, Mazil and Internet Explorer

Whoever doesn’t know, just in case, I’ll say that Visual bookmarks   - This is an add-on for browsers, which makes it possible to navigate to the desired pages in one click. It’s quite a useful option when you consider the value of time in our fast-moving century. 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 this download page is open, which, however, is quite natural. Some of you are probably perplexed why the Opera web browser, which is also in the TOP of the best (especially in RuNet), is not mentioned in this connection. The fact is that the native built-in is a complete analogue of Visual Bookmarks, so this extension is not relevant for this browser.

Installing an extension for any browser - whether it is (everything is even simpler here - after downloading it will be immediately offered to install the OT as an extension) or - it should not cause any difficulties. After downloading the launch file, activate it by double-clicking and install the application in normal mode. At the beginning of the installation, there will be a proposal to make Yandex the start page, set Yandex default search and allow the use of data about your preferences when acting on the Internet. However, subsequently, all of these options can be undone.

The last point, many consider almost spy monitoring. Well, you can understand this opinion, since all this can be represented as a restriction of the confidentiality of the person. I take this calmly, because the data is used in an anonymous form, and the information is collected not just like that, but to improve the relevance of the issue. Moreover, the user is given a choice, in addition, no one forbids in the future to abandon this function.

After that, click the “Next” button and set the tabs as a regular application. For example, after installing and restarting the browser, Google Chrome will notify you of the appearance of a new extension in the form of coloring the stripes of the “Tools” icon in the right corner of the web browser window:

By clicking on the line announcing the availability of the newly installed application, you get to the "Extensions" section, where you can enable Visual Bookmarks for Google Chrome, ticking the option “Enable”:

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 going along the path "Tools" → "Add-ons" → "Extensions", where you can disable or even remove Bookmarks from Yandex.

Bookmarks for Internet Explorer (latest versions) after the standard download and installation, you can manage (turn it on and off), if you select the line "Configure add-ons" and in the "Toolbars and Extensions" section from the "Tools" section located in the top menu or the command line, select the necessary line. Then you can enable or disable the add-in by clicking on the appropriate button.

How to Set Up Visual Bookmarks for Chrome, Mozilla, and Explorer

Well, now let's figure out the tab settings for all browsers. Opening any browser and installing the extension from Yandex there, let's see what editing options are subject to us. After activation, the visual tabs will display the sites you visit the most, whether in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer:

Of course, that the generated site logos appear only if you open a blank page in your browser. If you move the cursor to one of the empty rectangles, the “+” icon will appear, which indicates the possibility of creating a new visual tab. With the next click on the plus sign, a form will appear where you need to enter data that characterizes the future tab:

We register the site URL in the corresponding lines, taking the address from the list of the most visited resources and the name of the freshly baked tab. Subsequently, with the created visual bookmark, you can perform some manipulations, which I will discuss a little later.

Here you can change the number of visual tabs used on the page by moving the appropriate slider to the right or left (the maximum number is 25), change the background, including supplementing the set of background images by uploading your image (“Download” button). If you use the “Other Settings” button, you will be able, for example, to disable the collection of statistics of 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 the search bar and bookmarks bar will be displayed. And finally, when the cursor approaches an existing picture, a panel will appear consisting of three icons:

The gear-shaped icon “Configure” allows you to insert another tab from the list of other bookmarks below in the place of the existing tab, or by inserting the URL and description of the site corresponding to the given address, similar to how I described above inserting the tab into an empty space. The icon in the form of the “Lock” button indicates the action after which this place will be assigned to the logo of this site. Well, the purpose of the “Delete” symbol, I think, is unnecessary to explain. At the end of a small 4D show:

One of the most useful and best add-ons for browsers today is Yandex visual bookmarks. With their help, you can use the capabilities of Internet resources with great comfort, selecting and ranking sites of interest to yourself.

Again, welcome all of you to our site. Today we will return to the Google Chrome browser and see how to set visual bookmarks. What are visual bookmarks? These are special extensions for various browsers that allow the user to go to the most visited sites in one click. They can be used as an addition to the regular bookmarks bar in the browser window. If you don’t know how to add the link to the site to your bookmarks bar, come back.

By default, Google Chrome has visual bookmarks from frequently visited sites.

Everything seems to be fine. But ... As you visit other sites, some bookmarks may be automatically replaced with new ones that you often visited recently. And you would not want to lose useful links to sites. And the number of 8 pieces is not always sufficient to ensure that all sites are always at hand. To increase the number of visual bookmarks and the convenience of managing them, we will install the Yandex Visual Bookmarks extension for Google Chrome from the Google online store.

To do this, go to the main menu of the browser, select "Additional Tools", then "Extensions"

We will see a list of all installed extensions.

We go down to the very bottom and click "More extensions".

We get to the Chrome Web Store. In the search field we enter our query “Visual bookmarks”, press Enter. In the search results, select the Extensions section and select the extensions we need by clicking the Install button.

Before the installation of the extension occurs, we will be asked to give confirmation on the installation. We give our consent. After a few seconds, the extension will install successfully. To view, open a new tab.

Visual Bookmark Settings

In the middle there are buttons for quick access to closed bookmarks, viewing downloaded files, bookmarks and History.

Let's set up our visual bookmarks first. To do this, in the lower right part of the screen, click on the "Settings" button.

The first setting is the number of bookmarks. Here you can specify the desired number of bookmarks. The maximum number is 25.

Background. Thanks to this setting, you can set the background either from the provided images, or upload your own by clicking “Download”. The selected image is displayed with a check mark.

Other options. By clicking on this button, you will get access to additional settings.

Here you can customize the appearance of bookmarks. The default is Logos and Headers. In this case, the site logo and its title will be displayed on the bookmark. You can also select "Logos and screenshots" and "Screenshots of sites."

How to add a visual bookmark?

Now go to bookmark management. Let's start by adding. In order to add a bookmark to an interesting site, you need to click on the “Add Bookmark” button. But at the same time you should have free space for her. If you do not, then increase the number of displayed bookmarks in the settings, or delete the existing one. How? You will learn more about this below. If there is no free cell, the Add Bookmark button will be inactive.

So we add a new bookmark. Click on the desired button.

Immediately below opens a panel to add the address of a new bookmark

We see where our added bookmark will appear (the area is indicated in white). You can add either enter the site address yourself, or use the list of Popular and Recently Visited. To add from the list, you just need to click on the desired tab once.

We want to add a bookmark to the website for viewing the weather forecast. Enter the address in the field. In order to indicate or change your description of the site, click "Edit Description". Set your description in the opened second field and press Enter.

Bookmark Management

Bookmarks can be controlled: move to another place, edit, delete.

let's move   our created bookmark in first place. To do this, click on it with the mouse and without releasing the left button, drag it to the first place. We release the left mouse button.

That's it, now our bookmark comes first. Similarly, you can customize the display order of your bookmarks.

You can perform certain actions on each tab. Consider them. To do this, we hover over the bookmark to display additional small buttons.

Lock. It happens both a closed lock (as in our example) and an open lock. A closed lock indicates that this tab is Locked in this position. This means that even if you do not use this bookmark for a long time, it will still remain in its place. It will not be replaced by other bookmarks that you often use.

An open lock means the opposite. Your bookmark is Detached and can be replaced by other bookmarks. To select a mode, you just need to click on the lock.

Gear. With her, you can edit bookmark, set a different address and description. The process is similar to adding a bookmark.

In order to remove visual bookmark   Click on the cross and confirm your actions.

Well, this is perhaps the end. We hope that the article has become useful and interesting for you. See you soon.
