Now there are add-ons to browsers that monitor themselves useful information and provide it in the form of a simple but very informative panel.
Perhaps the most best program one of these is “Yandex Elements”, which was previously called “Yandex.Bar”. This software It is distributed free of charge as a browser setting by the company of the same name and is suitable for operating systems such as Windows XP and higher, Linux and Mac OS.

For example, in the “My VK Page” tab you can choose to display messages, a list of friends, groups, and other things. Each email service and social network will also need to be authorized. 
It is also worth describing the “Visual Bookmarks” add-on, which will be installed along with the main elements of Yandex. Now, when you open a new tab in Firefox browser You will have access to quick search, as well as instant transition to your favorite sites. You can add a maximum of 25 visual bookmarks.

Yandex Bar previously allowed us to translate only individual words, but now it is possible to translate entire pages. This is very convenient if you are interested in websites from different countries.

They make it possible to quickly open your favorite sites; we can install informative buttons such as weather, traffic jams, exchange rates, etc. directly on the navigation bar.
