Greetings to all readers of my blog. What will we talk about today? I propose to learn about Yandex browser extensions that will help create, promote and monetize the site. And although there are a lot of such plugins, we will focus on the most popular ones.
What is it and why?
To begin with, it is worth clarifying the fact that add-ons for are special applications that work "inside" the system, expanding its functionality. This means that they cannot be launched separately from the browser.
Where can they be downloaded? Yes, almost everywhere! Today it works with three sources at once:
- Yandex app store;
- shop Google Apps(due to the fact that the browsers work on the same engine, their plugins can be interchangeable);
- Opera app store (as a continuation of cooperation after the creation of the Turbo mode).
To add one of the Yandex browser extensions, you need to go to one of the listed app store(authorization may be required), select the product you are interested in and click the "Install" button. Naturally, after downloading the add-on, you will have access to its settings.
Popular Yandex add-ons
As we noted earlier, you can find many different add-ons on the Web. However, you should not download all of them - this will lead to too much load on the browser. If you intend to work with, then the following applications will suffice:- SEO for Chrome- performs a quick analysis of web pages.
- nofollow eyes– compiles a list of links closed in Nofollow and Noindex tags.
- Eye Dropper– quickly determines which colors were used to create a design.
- Firebug Lite for Google Chrome - allows you to work with html code.
- LastPass– stores all your passwords, automatically fills out registration forms.
- flash block- also known as "anti-advertising", because. blocks all pop-up windows, annoying audio and video files.
- Speed Dial 2- adds an express panel that simplifies the use of the Internet.
- RDS bar– analyzes a lot of SEO-indicators.
- – collects information about visiting a web resource.
Let's focus on the last two extensions - in the near future they will become your faithful assistants on the path of developing your own Internet project.
RDS-bar or how to find out everything about the site
Why did we choose to include RDS bar in the list of the most best plugins For Yandex browser? Yes, because it can collect detailed statistics about every page you visit:
- Page Rank;
- attendance rating;
- authority;
- web resource region;
- indexed pages;
- indexed pictures;
- the number of mentions of the domain in the search engine;
- date of the first entry in WebArchive;
- the number of incoming and outgoing links;
- information about purchased links;
- layout validity;
- the presence of robots.txt;
- presence of sitemap.xml;
- highlighting nofollow and noindex tags;
- highlighting external links, etc.
Will your hand rise to remove such a useful webmaster tool? I doubt. Moreover, soon Google promises to increase the functionality of the plugin. So use and enjoy. And we move on to the next extension.
LiveInternet or Quick Rank View
The add-on is designed to get quick access to statistics and the following information:
- place of the site in the ranking;
- change in the place of the site in the ranking for the last day;
- number of views (per day, week and month);
- number of unique visitors (per day, week and month);
- the number of users "on line" (active during the last 15 minutes), etc.
We emphasize that the plugin uses panel statistics, which is based on anonymous data. The latter are received from extensions installed in users' browsers.
Do you still think that the Yandex browser cannot be compared with? Don't be so skeptical - try new browser, and you will see for yourself its functionality. As for future plans, we will soon tell you how to set up the translator and how to use it better.
Until we meet again, friends! And don't forget to subscribe to the newsletter.
Bye bye.
Sincerely, Roman Chueshov
Hello!
This post is spontaneous. Not really planned...
I get a lot of comments on the article
Some questions I try to answer immediately in the comments. Sometimes I make additions right in the article. In one of these additions, I wrote that I had found a replacement for the old (new) Yandex visual bookmarks and attached another video. Such a small overview of the functions and design of the Speed Dial extension.
Sergei asked a question in the comments: Is there a way to save these bookmarks? Something didn't work out."
Thank you for your question... I answer specifically to Sergey, as well as to everyone else who did not understand synchronization setting bookmarks for Chrome Speed Dial.
And so we set visual bookmarks for Chrome Speed Dial - New Tab Page, 3D, Sync. Now we need to open the settings panel in the upper right corner, and click on the “sync” icon
After that, we are transferred to General settings, to the sync tab.
Here we are offered to install another browser extension that will synchronize and save our bookmarks. Click "Install from Chrome Web Store”
Now we get to the Chrome store. Directly to the page with the required extension EverSync.
Install EverSync:
After installing Ever Sync, another icon appears in our browser. This is a quick access to the synchronization of our visual bookmarks. This is how it looks like:
We click on it, and we are thrown into the synchronization settings.
In order for the Speed Dial to be saved and synchronized, we need create account in Ever Sync.
If you have an account in Google+ then everything is much easier. You just click "Sign in with Google". That is, log in with your account.
If you don't have Google mail, then you need to go through a simple registration. Enter address his mail, create a password and enter a captcha.
All filled out? OK. Then click "Register"
After registration is completed, we go under our mail (which we entered during registration) and get into the menu.
The Ever Sync extension can sync and save not only Speed Dial bookmarks, but also standard Google Chrome browser bookmarks (favorites).
(I did not use this function and did not test it. Because it seems that if you enable the synchronization of regular bookmarks, they will be deleted from the browser. I didn’t understand for sure)
Let's get back to saving visual bookmarks. Go to the SpeedDial tab:
We need to click on the middle button Overwrite server data - which translates as - rewrite the server data.
Click “Upload” and copy the data from our computer to the server.
We will be asked if we are ready to do it? We say - "Yes"
This procedure must be performed only after those cases when you log out of your account, and then log in again. Logging out does not happen automatically, so often you won't have to.
When we click “Ok”, the first synchronization will take place. After 3 green ticks light up, the window will automatically close.
All. Initial settings completed.
Now we can move on to the settings and ordering of our bookmarks.
SpeedDials do not sync themselves, so you need to do it yourself from time to time.
You will see three green checkmarks. This means that your changes have been saved on the server.
Everything, you can sleep peacefully!
Now, if you suddenly reinstalled Google Chrome or demolished and reinstalled operating system, then just install the two extensions Speed Dial and Ever Sync.
We log into Ever Sync under our account and on the SpeedDial tab, click “Download”
And all your saved sites are returned to their places.
This is not a tricky way for Chrome Speed Dial browser bookmarks to be synchronized and saved.
That's all for today.

Mozilla Firefox is a flexible browser-constructor that can be supplemented with various functionality using built-in extensions. Among such functionality are express panels of visual bookmarks for quick and easy access to selected user sites.
Mozilla Firefox is pre-installed with quite powerful functionality for working with regular bookmarks, including the ability to quickly add favorite sites to the browser collection, sort bookmarks into thematic folders, as well as export, import and create them. backups. But the pre-installed visual bookmarks that open in a new browser tab leave much to be desired - the number of cells for selected sites is limited, and adding new thumbnails is possible only after removing old ones from free cells. At the same time, free cells are filled only by automatically adjusting new sites in them from the browser history.
Let's look at the Fire Fox in the extension store for more effective and practical express panels of visual bookmarks. Let's consider the best of them.
5 Best Visual Bookmarking Speed Dials for Mozilla Firefox Browser
How to complete the browser with various extensions, including specifically Mozilla Firefox, is described in the article "".
Top PageThe Top-Page extension is a cross-platform solution that will certainly interest those who constantly change browsers or computer devices.
The Top-Page.Ru web service offers a completely free service for storing user bookmarks in the online organization of the express panel of site thumbnails.
Once you set up the express panel and organize your favorite sites on it, visual bookmarks can be instantly accessed from any browser window, on any device - be it a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. To do this, you just need to first register in the Top-Page.Ru web service, and then log in.
The Top-Page visual bookmarking express panel is not the best design masterpiece, far from the most advanced functional product, however, there is the possibility of changing background picture and settings for the number of thumbnails of favorite sites in width.
To add a site to the Top-Page visual bookmarks, click on an empty cell with a plus sign and enter the web address. If you are too lazy to enter a name, you do not need to do this. The name will be generated automatically.
Another cross-platform option for organizing an express panel of visual bookmarks in the Mozilla Firefox browser is Atavi Bookmarks from the free web service Atavi.Com.
But these bookmarks, unlike all the other express panels presented in this review, are not installed from the Mozilla Firefox extension store, but from the Yandex Elements website.
Fast Dial is a custom extension for Mozilla Firefox.
In its settings, the number of displayed cells of visual bookmarks on the page can be adjusted by setting any numerical value in width and length. The size of the bookmark cells themselves is also configurable.
In Fast Dial settings
you can set your own background image for the express panel of visual bookmarks. You can also choose the design of the cells, the font of the inscriptions and other subtleties of design.
To add a new visual bookmark, click on an empty cell and enter the web address of your favorite site. You can choose your own logo for each visual bookmark, as well as assign hotkeys for quick access.
Fast Dial is one of the most beautiful visual bookmarking speed dials in the Mozilla Firefox extension store.
But, at the same time, it is somewhat inferior to the next participant in the review - the express panel of visual bookmarks FVD Speed Dial.
FVD Speed DialFVD Speed Dial is perhaps the most beautiful, most spectacular, most functional, most customizable visual bookmarking express panel for Mozilla Firefox.
But, at the same time, it is also the heaviest.
The effects and functionality of the extension may slow down the browser on weak computer devices. Alas, there is always something to sacrifice.
FVD Speed Dial contains a lot of settings, thanks to which the design and organization of the express panel can be fine-tuned to your taste - choose a beautiful background image, customize the font of the inscriptions, set the transparency of the buttons, specify the size of the cells, etc.
FVD Speed Dial allows you to organize visual bookmarks into thematic groups, thereby preventing the express panel from being cluttered with bookmarks. At the same time, a group of popular bookmarks from among regularly visited sites is formed automatically. Switching between groups is very convenient, their links are neatly lined up at the top of the express panel.
To add a new visual bookmark, we traditionally click on an empty cell with a plus sign on the express panel, enter the web address of the site, we can assign a group, title and picture from among those offered for the bookmark.
Despite the fact that FVD Speed Dial is far from a Mozilla Firefox speed dial, the advantages of this express visual bookmarking toolbar are obvious - beauty will save the world.
Users of low-powered netbooks and older builds of PCs can, for example, ditch the bulky background image, leaving the preset background of the Express Dial white so as not to burden the browser.
Who taught browsers to create site thumbnails?
All "walkers", like any other software, include only the most necessary, basic functions of web browsers, and additional features are implemented through add-ons (extensions, plug-ins), the writing of which is available to everyone. Browser makers provide the necessary information for this.
So, one of these add-ons (extensions) are visual and very easy-to-navigate bookmarks in the form of small copies of sites, and now the only thing left is to figure out how to add bookmarks to the visual bookmarks of your browser.
Unlike standard (in some browsers "Favorites"), visual bookmarks "live" no longer on the user's hard drive, but on the server of the site on the Web that provides services for their storage. Their advantage over the usual ones lies in the "independence" of the device used to access the Internet.
Visual Thumbnails in Mozilla Browser
Although Chrome browser leads in the ranking of web browsers, there are many more users who are concerned about how to visually bookmark a page in Mozilla than those who are interested in this add-on in Chrome.
You can get to the page with extensions by clicking on the line "Add-ons" in the "Tools" menu or in the menu of the button with three bars on the top right, and also by typing the combination Ctrl + Shift + A.
Here, on the "Get Add-ons" page, you can click on the "More" button (above), which will take you to addons.mozilla.org, where in the "Extensions" menu item there is a "Bookmarks" link. By clicking on it, you can find a suitable variant of visual options by sorting through 1369 extensions.
But in fact, in order to decide how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, just go to the "Extensions" page, type the phrase "Visual ..." in the search bar and select any of several suggested extensions (Wishstorage, Tabsbook, Speed Start, etc.).
"Visual bookmarks online 1.081"
By clicking on the "Install" button on the right, you will allow this add-on to be downloaded as a service onlinezakladki.ru, which can be used from the first click on the "Open new tab without registration and authorization.
By clicking on the gear button to the right of the search bar, tab settings open, among which there is a "Synchronization" section. When solving the problem of how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, we can choose the appropriate way to store them in it and import / export bookmarks from / to an HTML file.
The onlinezakladki.ru service, having fixed its presence with an asterisk icon at the top right, allows you to select up to 40 bookmarks (gear button to the right of the search bar) and provide access to them from anywhere in the world. One has only to bring the cursor to the bookmark, as the functions of its editing and deletion immediately light up.
Editing operations include changing the basic data (address, name) and adjusting the image, allowing you to use an individual picture.
You can add a new page to the bookmarks panel by clicking on the cross in the center of an empty bookmark or on the star icon in the upper right.
How to Add Visual Bookmarks in Google Chrome
By default, they are already installed in Chrome, but these are only picture links of the last pages visited by the user. Moreover, the new (last visited) page will appear in the bookmarks only after the browser is restarted, and no keys or their combinations will help, including Ctrl + R (the "Reload" command in context menu pages).
Automatically displayed on a new tab, they are devoid of any settings, except for deletion by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner.
Such a thumbnail service, perhaps, will not suit those users who are interested in how to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome. Therefore, silently click on the three stripes at the top right and select "Additional Tools > Extensions".
If there are no extensions in the opened window, we agree to the offer: "Do you want to view the gallery?", and if there is, then click on the link "More extensions" and get into the "Chrome Web Store".
Here, of course, you can endlessly scroll through the page with countless applications, holding your eyes so as not to scatter. But in order to only learn how to add visual bookmarks in Google Chrome, this
As in the Mozilla browser, here you can also simply type the phrase "visual ..." in the store search at the top right and "+Install" (so the blue buttons on the right are signed) any of several proposed extensions.
Among them are the already familiar onlinezakladki.ru service, Evorch, Atavi, Speed Dial and a number of other offers, the installation and configuration of which is simple and understandable for a user of any level, but for example, let's consider how to add a visual bookmark with 3D mode in Chrome.
Visual Bookmarks FVD Speed Dial
We press the "+Install" button, open a new tab and admire the beautiful and effective express panel of visual bookmarks with 3D mode and synchronization functions.
All the necessary sites are in plain sight, and if there are so many of them that "the eyes run wide", you can sort them into groups, to create which you need to click on the cross in the upper right, next to the groups set by default.
For each site, we can create our own thumbnail or use a collection of pictures from the gallery. For the express panel itself, you can also choose your own background if you are not satisfied with the "regular" themes.
Convenient and simple synchronization (a round icon with arrows chasing each other in the menu at the top right) will allow us to have the same selection of sites on different browsers, computers and other mobile devices.
But in order to use the synchronization, we will have to agree to the offer to download from Chrome Web Store application Eversync, after which a sync button will appear on the top right panel.
By pressing the indicated button, we will see an offer to log into the EverSync account (if any) or create a new account. We will have to agree to this, because, having figured out how to add visual bookmarks in Google Chrome, we need to figure out how to synchronize them with other browsers and various mobile devices.
Synchronization of standard links
The Ever Sync service can save and synchronize not only FVD Speed Dial bookmarks, but also standard ones (favorites). Click Bookmarks and deal with the window that opens.
Here we can enable/disable auto-sync, merge local and server information (Merge button), replace data on the server (Upload button) and replace local information (Download button).
To transfer (copy) bookmarks to the server, you need to decide between the "Merge" or "Download" actions, choosing the latter if synchronization is being performed for the first time. You can find the copied links by clicking the "My EverHelperAccount" button.
Now the bookmarks copied to the "cloud" can be transferred to any other browser or computer if the EverSync extension is installed on it.
Synchronization of links created in Speed Dial
To close the question of how to add visual bookmarks with 3D mode in Google, we return to the application menu and open the Speed Dial tab, where we will synchronize the bookmarks of this extension.
As in the previous case, press the "Download" button, confirm your choice (Ok) and after 10-40 seconds, making sure that "Synchronization was successful" (which will be "reported" by three green checkmarks), close the window.
Visual Bookmarks are now ready to be used on another computer or browser (if available). installed application speed dial).
Visual bookmarks in Yandex browser
Users of Mozilla, Chrome, Opera and a number of other well-known browsers who have home page"Yandex" is installed, they will confirm with what perseverance and perseverance "Yandex" offers to download your browser.
And these efforts were crowned with success, because this browser is rapidly gaining popularity. Therefore, "for a snack" we will find out how to add a visual bookmark in Yandex.
One of the Yandex elements, the Visual Bookmarks add-on, is also popular among similar services. But if we try to install it in the browser, we will get the following message: "In the "Yandex" browser there is already a display with visuals ...". And by adding a new tab, we will make sure of this.
And in order to "settle" a new miniature of the site on the scoreboard, you just need to click on the "baptized" inscription "Add", enter the site address or its name and add a signature.
In the context menu of each tab, you can unpin it, delete it, change the site, and customize the scoreboard with thumbnails in general.
Judging by the "demand" in RuNet, this function in "Yandex" suits the majority of users. But here, too, we can, just like in Chrome, add a visual bookmark using any other service that we find in the add-ons catalog for Yandex in the Add-ons section in the three-bar button menu at the top right.
