Extensions of other sources for Yandex. Why do you need extensions in the Yandex browser, how to work with them

Installed add-ons

To see what add-ons you have installed in the Yandex browser, you need to click the settings button in the form of three horizontal stripes, which is located in the upper right corner of the browser.

Opening add-ons

In the context menu that appears, select “Add-ons”. A window will open with all the add-ons installed on the Yandex browser.

Here you can disable or enable the installed add-on for the Yandex browser, and you can also remove add-ons that are located at the very bottom in the “From Other Sources” block.

Removing add-ons

To remove the add-on, you need to go to the Yandex browser add-ons as described above. Find the block “From other sources”.

We move the cursor over the add-on that you are going to delete and on the right after the on/off button the inscription “Delete” will appear, click on it.

A message will appear indicating that you agree to delete the selected add-on, click “OK” and the add-on will be deleted.

Installing add-ons and extensions

You can install browser add-ons using the online store of extensions for Yandex browser. Follow the link to the online store and go to the menu for extensions. We find the required Yandex browser extension and hover the cursor over it, the “Free” button will appear.

Click on the “Free” button. A window will open asking you to confirm the installation of the Yandex browser extension.

Click the “Add” button in it. The extension will install, launch and a page about this extension will open. You can close the page, and the extension will start working. This extension for Yandex browser will be displayed as an add-on in the “From other sources” block.

To get to the menu with extensions, use one of two methods:

Stage 2: Installing extensions

Choosing between installing from and is very convenient, since some of the extensions are only available in Opera, while others are available exclusively in Google Chrome.

If you didn’t find anything on the page with extensions for Opera, you can contact. All extensions for Google Chrome are also compatible with Yandex Browser, since the browsers run on the same engine. The installation principle is also simple: select the desired add-on and click on "Install".

In the confirmation window, click on the button "Install extension".

Using the catalog, you can freely enable, disable and configure the extensions you need. Those add-ons offered by the browser itself can be enabled or disabled, but not removed from the list. However, they are not pre-installed, i.e. they are not on the computer, and will be installed only after the first activation.

Switching on and off is done by clicking on the corresponding button on the right side.

Once enabled, add-ons appear at the very top of the browser, between the address bar and the button "Downloads".

To remove an extension installed from Opera Addons or Google Webstore, you just need to hover over it and click on the button that appears on the right side "Delete". Alternatively, click "More details" and select an option "Delete".

Included extensions can be customized, provided that this option is provided by the creators themselves. Accordingly, the settings are individual for each extension. To find out if the extension can be configured, click on "More details" and check for the presence of a button "Settings".

Almost all add-ons can be enabled in Incognito mode. By default, this mode opens the browser without add-ons, but if you are sure that certain extensions are needed in it, then click on "More details" and check the box next to the item "Allow use in Incognito mode". We recommend including add-ons here such as an ad blocker, Download managers and various tools (taking screenshots, dimming pages, Turbo mode, etc.).

While on any site, you can right-click on the extension icon and call up a context menu with basic settings.

Extensions in the mobile version of Yandex.Browser

Some time ago, Yandex Browser users on smartphones and tablets also got the opportunity to install extensions. Despite the fact that not all of them are adapted for the mobile version, many add-ons can be enabled and used, and their number will only increase over time.

Step 1: Go to Extensions Menu

To view the list of add-ons on your smartphone, follow these steps:

Stage 2: Installing extensions

The mobile version of Yandex.Browser contains add-ons designed specifically for Android or iOS. Many popular customized extensions can also be found here, but their selection will still be limited. This is due to the fact that it is not always technically possible or necessary to implement a mobile version of the add-on.

You can also install extensions on your smartphone from Google Webstore. Unfortunately, the site is not adapted for mobile versions, unlike Opera Addons, so the management process itself will not be very convenient. Otherwise, the installation principle itself is no different from how it is done on a computer.

Stage 3: Working with extensions

In general, managing extensions in the mobile version of the browser is not much different from the computer version. They can also be turned on and off at your discretion by pressing the button "Off" or "On".

If in the computer version of Yandex.Browser it was possible to get quick access to extensions using their buttons on the panel, here, in order to use any enabled add-on, you need to perform a number of actions:

Some of the extensions can be customized - the availability of this feature depends on the developer himself. To do this, click on "More details", and then on "Settings".

You can remove extensions by clicking on "More details" and selecting the button "Delete".

Hello, dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. What program on your computer do you use most often? For many, it's the browser. That’s why they work on them more carefully than others, making them more beautiful, more convenient, and safer. Not long ago I talked about or, if you prefer.

In this guide I will show you how to make it even more convenient. We will talk about how to install an extension on Yandex Browser on Android and the PC version of the program. You will learn where to look for suitable plugins, install add-ons, and also pay a little attention to the most useful of them.

Let's get started?

Search

Now we need to use the Add-ons tab to work on extensions.

Some applications are divided into sections - tools (useful plugins created to speed up the Internet or work are stored here), Yandex Services (weather and disk, music and radio, mail, and so on), management, configuration, purchases.

Go to All Addons to see the full list.

The list contains the plugins that you already use. It won’t be a problem to switch the slider to “On” so that the program that specialists from Yandex offer you will work.

For example, it wouldn’t be superfluous, I talked about a more convenient application, Roboform , which, among other things, helps to come up with logins.

Read about it in more detail or use LastPass, which Yandex offers you.

Created to block ads, it will be very useful. There is also a review of the application on my blog.

Now I’ll click on the “Extension Catalog” button, it’s at the very bottom of the list. More than 1.5 thousand useful programs are collected here.

You can use the filter if you are looking for a specific category, for example, developer tools, if you are a webmaster, music for music lovers, shopping, if you often visit online stores, and so on.

Please note that next to each add-on there is a small description. If you are interested in something specific, click on the program to find out a little more.

Here, for example, is a utility for changing the design of VK.

Installation

Installing the plugin you like is no more difficult than searching for it. Next to the title there is an "Add" button. Click on it and wait for the process to complete.

Once everything is finished, an additional window will appear in which you will be asked to connect the plugin to the browser.

In this case, after the installation was completed, I was taken to a page describing how to use the program. Very convenient. However, it should be noted that this does not always happen.

The instructions indicated to me that now an additional button will appear in the drop-down menu that we activate with the right mouse button. They didn't lie. She really is.

Enable, disable, delete

You can still enable, disable, and delete extensions by going to the “Add-ons” category from the main page, and then finding the required plugin in the list of installed ones. Hover your mouse cursor and in addition to disabling it, you have the opportunity to get rid of the unwanted utility.

Search for a specific plugin

If you read about an extension in some article and now really want to install it, then you can use the catalog search. It is located at the top of the window.

Telephone

One of the most difficult moments is working with the phone. How to enable the plugin on Android? To do this, you need to call up an additional menu. This can be done using a button located on the smartphone itself. Go to “Settings”. If you can't do this, use the direct link to the add-ons browser://tune .

Now select “Add-on Catalog”.

That's all, a mobile version of a familiar page has appeared before your eyes.

By the way, this page reminded me of another useful article that may be useful to you. . I highly recommend paying attention to them.

And here is the extension directory itself. It is no different from what we saw in the PC version, so I see no point in describing the methods of working with it again.

That's all for me, don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter and group Start-Luck VKontakte . See you again and good luck in your endeavors. Bye everyone.
