Additional Yandex elements. Yandex elements

Many users are skeptical about services built into the browser. Among them was Yandex.Bar. And by the way, this is a rather convenient element that greatly simplifies the work of an active Internet user.

Why did Yandex.Bar exist? But because at the end of 2012 the company decided to replace it with Yandex.Elements, which are still designed to simplify working with the browser and the Internet, but at the same time have new functionality that will certainly interest a new audience.

Let's see what replaced Yandex.Bar and whether it is worth installing in your browser, for example, in Mozilla Firefox. Yandex elements will help:

• enter your request directly into the address bar;
• translate entire pages and individual words in one click;
• receive information about traffic jams and weather specifically for your city;
• receive up-to-date information about messages not only in email, but also in social networks;
• use visual bookmarks;
• protect yourself from sites that can harm your PC.

Let's take a closer look at the capabilities of Yandex Elements.

Visual bookmarks

This element allows you to quickly access your favorite and frequently visited sites. These bookmarks can be seen when you open a new tab in the browser. If you want to add a site yourself, you can do this at any time.

Also, if you use Yandex search, the search string is adapted to any layouts and typos when typing a query.

It is possible to change the background of visual bookmarks, so that the new tab is not only informative, but also pleasant to view. You can choose a ready-made picture or install your own.

Visual bookmarks contain buttons for accessing recently closed tabs and browsing and download history.

Disk

Saving to disk is very simple - just point at the picture or text instructions and click on the disk icon, and the file will be immediately saved in the cloud storage. No saving on your PC and then uploading to Yandex.Disk. Everything is done in one click.

Safety

Yandex Elements has an anti-virus system that prevents you from going to infected sites. Please note that they can be not only fraudulent sites, but also those that you previously trusted. After all, sometimes even sites with a positive reputation are attacked by cybercriminals.

The site also notifies you about the transition to duplicate sites, the name of which repeats the name of the original sites. On duplicate sites, nothing awaits users other than a stolen login and password, and Yandex helps avoid navigating to such malicious web pages.

Weather

You can find out the weather both for the current time and for several days in advance. For a detailed forecast, just click on the corresponding icon and see the temperature for today, tomorrow or for a longer period.

Traffic jams

A button with a traffic light and a number in it shows the current level of traffic jams in points. By clicking on a button, you can get a map of your city and find a convenient path for plotting your route. You can also add a permanent route to see traffic jams on it and calculate the approximate travel time. This is especially true for those who travel by car to work and home along the same route.

Mail

The envelope on the toolbar displays the number of new unread emails. By clicking on the button, you can view letters, read them, delete them, or reply. And to do this, you don’t need to log into your email via a separate web page.

Users of multiple mailboxes can switch between them directly from the toolbar.

All notifications about new messages appear instantly - there is no need to update anything, as the Element does this automatically.

Translations

When reading a text in a foreign language, you can understand all the words except one. And to translate it, you don’t need to open a new page with an online translator. It is enough to select the required fragment of text and get its translation. If one word is being translated, you can consult the dictionary entry.

Instant notification of messages, events and comments from Facebook and VKontakte will help you stay up to date with all events.

As you can see, Yandex Elements is a rather useful thing that does not interfere with working with the Internet at all, but, on the contrary, simplifies it.

The Mozilla Firefox Internet browser is famous for its extensive library of extensions and add-ons. Even Opera and Chrome cannot boast of such a truly wide range of plugins as Fiery Fox. The thing is that the creation of add-ons for the free Firefox browser is carried out by independent third-party developers.

Runet’s main search engine, Yandex, did not escape the common fate. The company's programmers have developed several interesting and useful extensions for Firefox that will help make the user experience more comfortable and enjoyable, and work more productive.

The era of flat, minimalist user interfaces has arrived and the classic Yandex.Bar has turned into something archaic, like elephants on a piano. Who needs a piano in times of widespread use of synthesizers? And the free Firefox itself followed fashion trends and became similar to its main competitor Google Chrome.

Are we borrowing strategy from the enemy? This is correct, all great armies did this. If you want to become successful, learn from the winners, not the losers. The Yandex elements extension complex is a modernized Yandex.Bar, redesigned taking into account modern design solutions in the METRO style.

The application interface should be as free as possible from everything that is not useful content. The control levers are hidden and appear when you hover the mouse arrow over an inconspicuous button somewhere in the corner of the screen.

Another mandatory requirement for a usable interface is the ability to flexibly reconfigure functionality to suit the needs of each specific user. Ideally, the program has a library of extensions and work and creativity. The user selects and adds to the application whatever he wants based on a buffet style.

These are approximately the tasks that the new elements of Yandex are designed to solve.

Scope of delivery

As you would expect, all your favorite applications remain in the updated bar.

Smart search bar, it is addressable. Translation of words on a web page. Search for music. Search by images. Weather forecast by region. Yandex mailbox. Cloud storage – Yandex.Disk. Traffic jams. Quick access to your favorite social networks. Wireless synchronization of bookmarks on all user devices. For a complete list of add-ons, check the extension library.

How Yandex elements can be useful

Listening to other people's stories about good things is similar to watching erotica on TV instead of actually having live sex. Do you want to know everything about Yandex elements? Try the product yourself.

Download and install

Tired of reinstalling your operating system after another virus infection? Then no more experiments - all Yandex elements are available for download and installation on the company's official website.

Click the Install button. The built-in antivirus of the Firefox browser will first block the suspicious installation and require permission to download the add-on. After confirmation, Yandex components will be installed.

Has anything changed in the browser interface? The fact is that the installation process is not completed yet. Installed Yandex elements are disabled. This is how Firefox takes care of user safety. Double protection. Now you need to go to the Add-ons panel to enable the downloaded and installed components. After restarting the browser, the changes will take effect and the program interface will be supplemented with new buttons.

Login to the interface for managing extensions and add-ons.

Today, a browser, be it Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera, has already gone beyond a simple Internet browser; it is now a whole interactive machine. Although you could previously find out various information about traffic jams, the weather in your city and much more, each time you had to jump around the sites for a long time. Now there are browser add-ons that monitor useful information themselves and provide it in the form of a simple but very informative panel.
