Double-click on your desktop to launch your viewing program. In the address bar, enter the address of the Yandex.Bar extension installation page http://bar.yandex.ru and press Enter. This is a comprehensive solution that includes various services, from visual bookmarks to tools for checking the speed of your network connection.
A page will open that matches your browser. That is, Internet Explorer users will be offered to install the application specifically for this browser, and Google Chrome users will be offered Yandex.Bar for Chrome.
Click the large button labeled “Install.” The program will begin downloading and a message will appear from the operating system about the danger of launching files from the Internet. Click the "Run" button to confirm your decision to install from Yandex. When the installer is fully loaded, click the “Next” button in the program window. Click next several times in a row on each screen until the “Done” button appears.
Close your web browser if it does not restart automatically. Open the browser again and you will see that you already have icon pictures of your favorite sites - the installation program itself will determine the most frequently visited web pages and create quick launch bookmarks for them.
If you accidentally deleted a desired bookmark, you can cancel this operation. To do this, right-click and select “Cancel deletion” in the menu that appears. This operation will restore the last deleted bookmark.
In the upper right part of each of the tabs (there are nine by default) there is a pop-up settings menu. Click on the cross if you want to delete the bookmark. The leftmost button is in the form of two rounded arrows - click on it to refresh the site's thumbnail image. Click the middle button if you want to set the frequency of automatic bookmark updates, or to change the page address manually. Click the gear-shaped button in the lower right corner to change the background image of your bookmarks, and also if you want to make not nine, but more or fewer icons for sites.
If you decide to use a visual bookmarking service, it is easy to remove it. However, it is more convenient not to uninstall the entire service, but to disable the extension. For the Chrome browser, the sequence of actions is as follows. First you need to go to the main menu of the browser, then find the “Settings” menu there. Here you need to go to the “Extensions” item. There you will find a list of installed extensions, including “Visual Bookmarks”. Nearby you will see a delete icon in the form of a trash can. Click on it to remove all installed bookmarks. In the Mozilla browser, “Visual bookmarks” are deleted this way. Open the browser and find the “Tools” item at the top, and in it – the “Add-ons” sub-item. You should see a panel of visual bookmarks, which relates to the Yandex.Bar settings. Opposite this item, uncheck the box or click on “Disable” (depending on the browser version). You can select the “Delete” button, but in this case all bookmarks will be permanently deleted and it will be impossible to restore them.
The maximum number of possible bookmarks is not always enough for the user. Using the Yandex.Bar service, you can increase the possible number of bookmarks to 25 pieces. You can also choose the desired way of displaying bookmarks and design.
If the computer is unsuccessfully restarted, bookmarks may fly off and completely disappear from the browser. Don't despair - they are very easy to restore. To do this, open your browser and go to the “Bookmarks” menu. There you will see the option “Display all bookmarks”. Click on it with the left mouse button. Here you will be shown a section in which you can manage all Yandex bookmarks. Find the Import and Backup menu here. Select the "Restore" box here. You will be offered several recovery options: through an archive copy or a direct Yandex file. Select the appropriate option and then go to the Settings menu. Check "Display visual bookmarks when opening a new tab or window." Go to the "Extensions" section. Here in the general list you will see the item “Yandex.Bar”. When you open it, all lost visual bookmarks will be redisplayed.
You can find Yandex visual bookmarks in the application workspace when a blank browser page opens. They are a mosaic of thumbnail images of pages with icons. To view all pages, click the All Bookmarks button. Folders with bookmarks are most often located under the Yandex search bar.
If you have switched to and want to transfer Yandex visual bookmarks there, it is not at all difficult to do. Take advantage of the option to export this data. To do this, go to settings and go to “Add-ons”. Click on the “Browser Settings” item. In the menu that appears, find the “User Profiles” section, then “Transfer bookmarks and settings from another browser.” A window will appear in which you can select the desired browser. Select all the necessary settings and click the “Transfer” button. Now all bookmarks are available in the new browser.
Another way to transfer bookmarks involves working with an HTML file. Open an empty browser tab and click on the “All Bookmarks” button, which you will find below the list of visual bookmarks. In the window that appears, select the “Arrange” button. When you click on it, a context menu will open. Select “Copy bookmarks from HTML file...”. An Explorer window will open where you can select a folder and specify the file from which the information will be copied.
The browser is one of the important programs in any operating system after the antivirus program. Ease of use, easy accessibility of your favorite and frequently visited sites in one click are important details when working at a computer.

While visiting the Internet, we visit various sites. We will no longer need some and we are unlikely to visit again. And some sites are useful to us. These can be news, sports, educational, entertainment and many others. As a rule, after visiting a site, we close the bookmark in the browser. And after that, if we again want to get to the site we left, we will have to type the site address into the address bar again. But over time, the site address can be forgotten and because of this, it can be typed incorrectly. And it’s a shame if we can’t get to the site we need. This is exactly why bookmarks in browsers were invented. They help the average user quickly access a useful site. You just need to click once and the site will automatically load. Today we will look at how to add bookmarks in browsers for beginners.
How to bookmark a site? Let's, as an example, add our resource ABC of the Internet to the bookmarks of popular browsers.
In Google Chrome, this can be done in various ways. This browser has a bookmarks bar. Initially it is hidden. To call it, follow these steps:
Open the main menu of the browser (1), select Bookmarks (2) - Show bookmarks bar (3). Or use the hotkeys Ctrl + Shift + B (English).
After this, a bookmarks bar will appear under the address bar. As you can see, it is empty, unless, of course, you have previously bookmarked certain sites.
In order for our site to be on this bookmarks bar, just do the following:
Click on the white star (1) in the address bar on the right. The asterisk has turned yellow, which means the site has been bookmarked. Or use the key combination Ctrl + D. In the window that appears, give a name to the bookmark, leave the folder where the bookmark will be stored in the Bookmarks panel. After that, click Finish. Now a shortcut with the name of the bookmark (2) has appeared on the left side of the bookmarks panel. As you can see, the width of the bookmark is quite large. It's okay if you have 1-2 sites in your bookmarks. And if there are 10-20, and all with names, this will significantly increase the panel space. Yes, and this type of bookmarks will probably not be convenient. In this case, you can remove the bookmark name, leaving only the shortcut.
To do this, right-click on the bookmark and select Edit
In the window that appears, delete the Bookmark Name field and click Save.
Now the bookmark looks compact and when you hover the mouse over it, a tooltip appears indicating the site address. Now, in order to go to our website, you just need to make one click on the bookmark.
But there is a second way to add bookmarks. He's faster. Let's bookmark any other site. For example Youtube.com Go to this site
Move the mouse cursor to the place indicated by the arrow in the picture, press the left mouse button and, without releasing the button, drag the shortcut to the bookmarks bar. Release the button and that’s it, the bookmark is added. Now delete, if necessary, the bookmark name using the above method.
Our bookmarks bar now looks like this. In this way, you can add bookmarks to other sites.
