Hello. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard for me to imagine my Internet browser without Yandex Elements. Even if they do not belong to functions that cannot be dispensed with, you must agree that Yandex elements make our stay on the Internet more comfortable. Visual bookmarks, quotes, fast access to social networks and mail, weather forecast, traffic conditions save time and make life easier.
In general, I need them, period. So - having engaged in a planned reinstalling Windows 7, I downloaded the latest drivers for PC, video codecs, new versions of my favorite programs, installed Yandex.Browser and latest version Mozilla Firefox. I immediately launched Firefox in order to install Yandex Elements, but here's the trouble - by going to the office. site elements and habitually clicking on the "install" button, I got a connection error and reset the installation.
I checked the connection, tried a couple more times - Yandex elements for Mozilla Firefox are not installed, even if it cracks, since I did not suffer for long, I remembered how to solve this problem ...
Why Yandex Elements is not installed
for Firefox and how to install.
To be honest - why the Yandex element extension was not installed in firefox in the usual way today, with the wording - "the add-on cannot be loaded due to a connection error with element.yandex", I was too lazy to delve into it, because the installation method shown below worked the first time, that's all it worked and I lost interest in developers' graters.
So, how to get around the error and install Yandex Elements for Mozilla Firefox. Opening the official page YandexElement , the browser should be detected automatically and you will see the inscription "A set of useful extensions for Mozilla Firefox" above the button. Right-click on the "Install" button, in the menu that opens, select "Save target as ...".
In the Explorer window that opens, specify the folder (the one that is easy for you to find, the working one that you use for downloads), remember the name of the downloaded file, Yandex elements - YandexElement.xpi. We raise our eyes up, in the browser menu we click on "Tools", in the drop-down submenu we click on "Add-ons".
In the add-ons window, select "Get add-ons", in the upper right corner we find the gear, if you hover the mouse, the tooltip "Tools for all add-ons" will pop up, left-click, select "Install add-on from file" in the submenu.
In the explorer that opens, we find the folder with the saved Yandex Elements for Firefox, select "YandexElement.xpi", click open. A standard warning window will appear, asking you to install add-ons from "honest authors", we are fine with this - we downloaded the extension from official page Yashki, click - "Install now."
At one time, Yandex.Bar was a very popular add-on for different browsers. With the development of browser capabilities, this extension turned out to be not very suitable both externally and in terms of functionality. Users needed something new, and then Yandex.Bar was replaced with Yandex.Elements.
The principle remains the same, but the implementation and convenience turned out to be much higher than in the previous version of the add-on. So, what are Yandex Elements, and how to install them in Yandex.Browser?
We want to please you - Yandex.Browser users do not even need to install Yandex.Elements, since they are already built into the browser! True, some of them are turned off, and you can quickly turn on those elements that you really need.
Let's find out what Yandex.Elements are in principle, and how to enable or find them in the browser.
smart line
A smart line is a universal line where you can enter website addresses, write queries for a search engine. This line already displays the most popular queries by the first letters typed so that you can quickly find the answer.
You can even write with the wrong layout - the smart string will not only translate the request, but also show the site you want to visit.
For some requests, you can get a response without even going to the sites, for example, like this:
The same applies to translation - just type an unknown word and start writing "translation", as the smart line will immediately display its meaning in your language. Or vice versa:
By default, the smart bar is already enabled and works in the browser.
Please note that some of the listed features (translating and displaying the response to a query in the address bar) can only be obtained if Yandex is the default search engine.
Visual bookmarks
Visual bookmarks help you quickly access your favorite and most visited sites. You can access them by opening a new tab.
In Yandex.Browser, when you open a new tab, you can already see visual bookmarks combined with a smart bar and a live background. Accordingly, you do not need to install anything additionally.
Safety
You no longer need to worry about how dangerous the site you are about to go to is. Thanks to its own security system, Yandex.Browser warns you when you visit dangerous sites. These can be sites with malicious content, as well as fake sites that imitate popular social networks, online banks, and steal your authorization data and confidential data.
Yandex.Browser already includes the Protect active protection technology, so you don't need to enable anything else.
Translator
Yandex.Browser already includes a word translator that allows you to translate words or entire pages. You can translate a word by highlighting it and clicking the right mouse button. The context menu will immediately load the translation of the word or sentence:
When you are on foreign sites, you can always translate the entire site into your language using context menu, called by the right mouse button:
To use the translator, you do not need to enable anything extra.
The extension shows where you can buy goods cheaper if you are in any online store. Thus, you do not need to waste time searching for the cheapest price of the product you are interested in on the Internet:
You can enable it by finding the block " Purchases” and including “ Advisor»:
You can also customize the Expert Advisor (and other extensions) by clicking on " More” and selecting “ Settings»:
Disk
We have already talked about such a useful cloud storage as Yandex.Disk.
By enabling it in your browser, you will be able to save images to Disk by simply hovering your mouse over it to display the save button. Similarly, you can save other files on site pages:
The Yandex.Disk quick access button also allows you to quickly get a link to a saved file:
You can enable Yandex.Disk by finding the add-on " Disk»:
Music
Unfortunately, there is no exactly the same “Music” element as in Elements.Yandex in this case. However, you can install a remote control for your music. This extension allows you to control the Yandex.Music and Yandex.Radio player without switching tabs. You can rewind tracks and add them to your favorites, put "like" or "dislike" marks:
You can enable the add-on in the above way by finding in the "Yandex Services" block " Music and Radio»:
Weather
The popular Yandex.Weather service allows you to find out the current temperature and view the forecast for the coming days. Both short and detailed forecasts for today and tomorrow are available:

Card
A relatively new extension that will be useful to all curious users. When you are on any sites, the service will underline words, the meaning of which you may not know or understand very well. This is especially useful when you come across an unfamiliar word or name of an unfamiliar person, and you don't want to go to a search engine to find information about it. Yandex does this for you by displaying informative tips.
In addition, through the cards you can view pictures, maps and movie trailers without leaving the page you are on!
You can enable the element by finding the add-on "Yandex Advisors" Card»:
Now you know what Yandex Elements are and how to enable them in your Yandex Browser. This is much more convenient, since some of the services are already built in, and among the secondary features, you can turn on only what you need, and also turn it off at any time.
Yandex has long been widely known to the Russian public for its successful products. In particular, the company has implemented a whole set of useful browser extensions for popular web browsers - Yandex Elements.
Yandex Elements is a small package of extensions for popular browsers Google Chrome Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and many other web browsers. The extensions that are part of Yandex Elements are not related to each other in any way, but at the same time they will significantly simplify the use of the browser for users.

To install Yandex Elements, you need to download the latest version from the link below. After downloading, the application will appear in add-ons Firefox browser. To complete the installation of Yandex Elements, the browser must be restarted.
Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today we will talk about Yandex Bar - a popular extension (panel) for . Once it was a completely useless panel, which gives little to both an ordinary Internet user and a webmaster.
But now, in my opinion, Yandex Bar has grown out of children's panties and can be considered as a fairly convenient and complete tool that increases the convenience of surfing the net and which will be useful even to webmasters to a certain extent.
Although, of course, all of the above does not apply to all versions of Ya.Bar that you can download. For example, for Opera and Chrome browsers, this panel is unlikely to be useful to webmasters, because there is not much of what is present in full-featured versions that are designed to be installed as or Internet Explorer. I don't work with Safari, so I can't say anything about the functionality of the Yandex Bar version for this browser.
Ya.bar was recently renamed to , but even the numbering of versions of this add-on for popular browsers continued. Changes in Elements compared to previous version there are not many of these extensions, but they are still there. Read more in the article at the link above.
Why does the Yandex search engine need a Bar (Elements)?
Previously, I had a subconscious question, why do search engines go out of their way and try to add more and more free services in addition to the usual search and why they are trying to impose on us almost by force, ordinary users, your panels, all kinds of bars, free programs (for example, which is in your browsers and search by default).
Basically, the casket just opens. Bar, Google Toolbar, and Bing Bar are needed for two main reasons. First, tightly tie you to your own search engine through the search form and all these additional services that can be accessed from these panels.
Secondly, they simultaneously solve for themselves (or try to solve) another global mega-task - to improve . Probably, everyone has already heard about the influence of user factors on promotion. Let's say that tracking user behavior in search results will not be a problem, but here's how track visitor activity directly on the site?
This is where you will get the answer to the question why such fancy (and, for sure, expensive to develop and maintain) hit counters, like Google Analytics, are positioned as absolutely free (and the same liveinternet, for sure, sells its statistics to search engines, otherwise it would not be free).
But counters are not on all sites (after all, many webmasters understand what this can turn out to be if there is not enough high quality resource), which is why search tools such as Yandex Bar are needed. It must be useful to users, otherwise it will not be installed, but among other things, it collects data about their behavior. Those. in this way, Yandex actually recruits free testers for itself, thereby increasing the quality of its search results and the level of its income.
In general, search engines, just like you and me, dear readers, are fighting for a place in the sun, i.e. for the banal. Well, and it, just like for us, ordinary webmasters, will be directly proportional to the income received as a result.
After all, search engines (at least Google and the Runet mirror) earn up to 90 percent of all money on contextual advertising (they publish Adwords in their search results, respectively). True, we, dear readers, unlike them, have a much larger assortment, but, of course, on a much smaller scale.
Yandex Bar (newly called Elements and a link to a description of the differences between these two applications is given at the beginning of this publication) is now installed by many Runet users, and they, for the most part, did not download it on purpose, but simply forgot to uncheck the appropriate boxes when installing which someday free program, who entered into an agreement with Yandex or bought it in the bud (ala, Punto Switcher, the link to which I gave a little higher).
But nevertheless, now you can quite consciously download and install Yandex bar for your browser (more functional versions for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer) and still not regret what you did.
Download and install Yandex Bar for Mozilla, Explorer, Opera and Chrome
After you click on the "Install" button, Mazila may ask you for permission to install this extension, and after your approval, the Yandex Bar download will begin, then you will be asked about your desire to install this application:
Remarkably, after the renaming of the Bar, instead of one add-on, two will be installed at once: the ones I have already described and, in fact, the Elements.
After installation, you will be prompted to restart Firefox to activate installed application. A prudent search engine will ask you to agree to the user agreement in order to avoid excesses and offer to make Yandex.ru the default page, and your search as the default option.
As I said just above, you will be asked to agree to use your data about what resources you visit and how much you liked everything there. Of course, this is not done in order to follow you (I do not think that the information collected is somehow personalized), but the search engine really needs this information to improve the quality of its search.
After, at the top of the Mozilla window, you will see the Yandex Bar (Elements) panel, and additional buttons will also appear on the right side of the address bar:
Elements but now they look a little different. To the right of the search bar, the main informers will be located, and a strip will appear a little lower where you can drag additional buttons when setting up this panel (see below in the text):
Next on the Yandex Bar panel are your profile buttons and the search engine informer. Mail with the number of new letters, as well as buttons to go to the page, adding a page open in the browser to Ya.Bookmarks and a button leading to a page with additional widgets and buttons. That's it about the last button, or rather about adding new buttons, we'll talk a little more.
Yes, Y.bar also adds two icons to the address bar, shown in this figure:
When you click on the first button "Address bar corrector", you kind of block the keyboard layout that you currently have selected in operating system. Those. even if you have selected the Russian language for typing, Latin letters will still be entered in the address bar. Probably, this may seem convenient to someone, but personally it somehow doesn’t bother me.
But I liked the second button of the “Show in a Readable Form” bar, because it actually acts as the “Page for Printing” button, which allows you to present web pages in a digestible form (removing everything superfluous).
Many people do not like to read from the screen, and there is not always time for this, so by printing a page with a minimum of graphics, you can significantly save on printer ink. Perhaps, the button for transferring to is still missing, but you can also use it for this purpose.
Other buttons and widgets for Yandex Elements
So, find the additional buttons you need and click on "Install", located just below, and once again duplicate your desire in the pop-up window:
After that, in the same pop-up window, you will be prompted to make presets displaying new buttons on the Ya.bar panel and clicking the "Save" button after these manipulations are completed:
Actually everything, the buttons will appear on the panel. If something does not suit you (for example, their position relative to others in the Yandex Bar line), then you can go to the settings (the button in the form of a gear) and make the shuffling you need, and also, if you wish, change the order of their sequence to panels:
A set of buttons "Ya.Webmaster" allows you to get quick access to this useful service directly from the bar, as well as view some of the indicators of your sites (if you have created separate buttons for them).
There is also an extended set of buttons for Ya.Money and many other buttons for Ya.bar, but it's up to you to decide what to put and what not. And in general, using Yandex Bar I would not refer to mandatory attributes, because nevertheless this panel does not meet all the requirements of the webmaster, although in combination with other extensions for the Mozilla Firefox browser it has a right to exist. IMHO.
Differences of Elements from Bar for Chrome, Mazila, IE and Opera
Download the latest version of Elements you can on this Yandex page by accessing it from under the browser where you are going to install this add-on:
Actually, after installing this extension in the Google Chrome browser and Opera, you will see the Elements button in the upper right corner, which displays the number of letters in your mailbox and opening many other tabs when clicked, and in the address bar you will see a button that allows you to activate and configure the word translator on the page opened in the browser:
In the case of Opera, however, the translator button will not be located in the address bar, but also in the upper right field. Default, translation of words on the page opened in the browser will be carried out when moving the mouse cursor to it and holding CTRL on the keyboard, although this operation can be simplified:
This option of Yandex Elements seemed to me quite convenient, especially if a full translation of the page is not required, but you only need to look at the meanings of some words:
And, of course, in the browser where you installed the Elements, if you open a new empty tab Yandex bookmarks will flaunt on it, which you are free to customize to your taste and color preferences.
And the main difference between the Elements and the Bar is that the new panel now has the ability to enter search terms not in a separate form, but directly in the address bar (saves the useful space of the browser), while along with the addresses you have already typed earlier, and search suggestions Yandex:
It looks especially wonderful in Chrome (the brainchild of Google). But personally, for more than ten years now, I have mainly been using Yandex search, and all these violent actions of the Runet mirror suit me quite well (the flag is in their hands, the drum is around their neck).
In Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox, the Yandex Elements panel will look a little different and its functionality will be a little wider:
Those buttons that will be displayed on the Elements panel can be selected in the settings of this extension. To do this, from the menu of the Firefox button - Add-ons - "Extensions" tab - the "Settings" button opposite "Elements":
The settings window almost completely repeats the similar Yandex Bar settings window for Mazila Firefox:
I have nothing to add something new, compared to what I wrote about the Bar. Let me just say that I don’t understand Yandex’s desire to constantly change everything, often losing something useful, for which many users used their browser add-ons.
