Programs that connect to the browser and perform a specific function, such as playing a specific video format, are called plugins. What distinguishes them from extensions is that they do not have an interface. There are many similar programs that help improve your browsing experience. Let's look at these programs for Yandex Browser.
You can get to the section where installed modules are managed by entering a special command in the address bar:
browser://plugin
Now a special window opens in front of you where you can configure installed modules. Let's look at each element in more detail.
Unfortunately, unlike extensions or add-ons, modules cannot be installed manually. Some of them are already built-in, and you will be asked to install the rest automatically if necessary. This often happens if, for example, you cannot watch a video on a certain resource. In this case, a window will appear with a recommendation for installing an additional module.
Automatic updates are present only in some programs, while others must be updated manually. Outdated plugins are detected automatically and if this happens, you will receive a similar alert.
After updating, you can restart your browser for the changes to take effect.
If a certain plugin is having a negative impact on your browser or you don't need it to be running all the time, you can disable it until you need it. You can do this as follows:
That's all you need to know about program blocks for Yandex Browser. Please note that you should not turn everything off, as this may cause problems with audio or video playback on certain sites.
Do you want to watch an interesting video, but your Yandex browser refuses to play video clips? This question is not complicated, but it cannot be called trivial either, because some users do not know how to make settings in a particular browser. Now I will show with an example how to enable Adobe Flash Player in the Yandex browser so that you can solve this issue on your computer.
I myself witnessed how a user spent a long time and painfully fiddling with the browser settings. Although this setting can be done in a couple of clicks, to help other users and my readers, I decided to make a short instruction on this issue.
First, I advise you to remove the old version of the flash player and replace it with a newer one. Attention! If you know how to remove programs using Windows standards, then you don’t need to read this part of the article, just remove Adobe Flash Player and move on.
Before you begin this procedure, close all browsers so that the plugin can be uninstalled without problems. To remove this application, you must go to the “Control Panel” and select “Programs and Features” from the list.
After this, a window will open with a list of all programs installed on your system. Select Adobe Flash Player to uninstall and click on the “Uninstall” button. A window will open in front of you to uninstall the application you specified. Confirm the deletion by clicking the “Delete” button and wait for this action to complete.
Note: if the program does not want to be removed or the recommendations from the article do not help, then try removing Adobe Flash Player using a special utility that can be downloaded. This page also describes how to use it, you just need to translate it.
When the plugin uninstallation is complete, restart your computer to avoid any further conflicts. Now go to and download the new version of the player. Open the download file. The installation of this player will start on your computer, where you need to check the terms of the license agreement. Browsers must all be closed! Wait until the application is installed, then close the window using the “Finish” button. Restart your computer again. The new version is now installed.
To see the required modules, click “Details” at the top right.
Find Adobe Flash Player from the entire list. In the screenshot below you can see two active Shockwave Flash modules. If you have problems playing videos in this browser, then try disabling one of the modules (by clicking on the corresponding link) and restart the browser: close and open again. If you have them both disabled, then click “Enable”. It may be that the problem remains, then turn on the module that you just turned off and turn off the other one.
Let me remind you that if nothing works for you, then uninstall the player using the utility from the developers and try the described steps again. Usually this procedure helps in resolving this issue.
Now enjoy watching exciting movies online or just fun and entertaining videos. You will no longer have a question about how to enable Adobe Flash Player in the Yandex browser. After all, you already understand perfectly well how this is done.
Google Chrome is identical to the Yandex browser, you can look at:
Yandex.Browser is a browser that was created by Yandex. The Internet browser is built on the Blink engine, which in turn is used in the open-source Chromium web browser. It is the second most popular browser in RuNet at the time of writing.
Like Yandex.Browser, it has a built-in Adobe Flash Player, so if this platform is not installed on your computer, videos or banners running on Flash technology will still be shown in the browser. Another thing is when a crash occurs or someone using your computer intentionally turned off this plugin - you can enable it yourself. How to do it?
Open Yandex.Browser and write the phrase browser://plugins (without quotes) directly in the browser line. Press Enter.
After the page with plugins opens, launch the flash player by clicking on the “Enable” button.
If you cannot open the page with plugins using this method, there is another solution.
Open Yandex.Browser and click on the button in view of the three bars that are located at the top of the window. A menu appears, select “Settings” in it.
We look for the “Personal Data Protection” subsection and click on the “Content Settings” button.
Here we find the “Plugins” subsection and click on the “Manage individual plugins” item.
The page with plugins will open. In order to launch Flash Player, you need to click on the “Enable” button under this plugin.
If you see two plugins from Adobe Flash Player and both are enabled, one of them needs to be disabled because they conflict with each other.
If the flash player still does not work, try turning off and re-enabling the plugin using the above method.
Modules expand the functional boundaries of browsers, including Yandex. By default, many of them are activated, but there are times when the plugin is disabled due to some kind of failure, which affects its operation. Let's look at how to enable the plugin in Yandex Browser.
In another way, plugins are also called modules. These are small programs that, like add-ons, are built into the browser to expand its functionality. The difference between them is that plugins do not have their own interface.
What exactly do they give?
The user can update, remove, disable or enable plugins provided by the browser. In this case, plugins in Yandex Browser will be considered.
Before you do anything with plugins, you need to know where they are located. There are two ways to open them.
1.Go to Settings through the browser menu (icon with three horizontal lines in the upper right corner). Go to the end of the page and open the “Show advanced settings” section, which will be highlighted in blue.
2. In the “Personal Data” block, click on the first button “Content Settings”.
3. Go to the “Plugins” section, and then follow the “Manage individual plugins” link.
A new tab will open in which you will see the installed plugins.
4. To find out more information about the module, click on the “Details” button.
To quickly go to the page where you can view plugins, enter the address in the browser line: browser://plugins. In this way, you can immediately get to the window with a list of plugins in Yandex Browser.
When you need a certain plugin to view the contents of a page or update an outdated module, the browser itself will notify you about this, offering to download and install it immediately.
One of the main plugins is Flash Player. You need to download it from the official resource, like all other programs. The system itself will transfer you to a secure site. You just need to click on the “Install” button.
If the system needs to update a module, you will see an alert at the top of the screen:
Click on "Update module". It is better to do this as early as possible so that the browser can continue to function as before.
What should you do if suddenly there is an urgent need to enable certain plugins in Yandex? Is it possible, on the contrary, to disable plugins that slow down the browser? It's easy to do all this.
You can disable the module, but it is important to remember that by stopping its operation, the user deprives the browser of the ability to perform certain actions with the media. It is likely that you may stop loading videos on websites. This applies to plugins, not extensions. The first can be called service browser add-ons, and the second can be called user add-ons, that is, optional or optional.
However, some extensions, for example, a translator in Yandex Browser, are already built into the system, that is, they do not require additional downloading.
The question should be different: is it possible to remove a module? The user does not have this option. Removing modules from the browser system is a matter for developers. This usually happens due to the fact that plugins become outdated. Instead, more modern solutions are appearing. For example, NPAPI. This plugin is no longer supported. Now, instead of it, they use its improved version - PPAPI.
One more example - . This module can no longer be connected to Yandex Browser as an add-on or activated in the options as an integrated module.
Yandex Browser launched a new test feature in Android versions last year. Every mobile browser user will find the line “Hide annoying ads” in the settings.
In Yandex Browser Add-ons you will also find the “Blocking Flash Banners and Videos” extension. Setting up these add-ons comes down to changing the list of filters, as well as disabling and enabling them on certain pages.
However, use just one plugin, otherwise the program will freeze.
Some resources may not be available to users for one reason or another. We will not go deeper into them. Let's just say one thing: the blocking can be easily bypassed with a plugin already built into the updated Yandex Browser called FriGate. It uses a proxy server to access restricted sites.
Open the “Add-ons” tab. We look for the extension and set it to “On”.
As we have already emphasized, the main module in the browser is Flash Player. Without it there would be no video playback.
No matter how reliable Yandex.Browser is, glitches also occur in its operation. One of the common problems is the flash error. Sometimes when you try to launch a video or game in the browser, a gray window appears with a notification that the plugin could not be loaded. Why is this happening?
The problem is most likely due to the fact that your computer already has another Flash Player (an outdated version that was installed to work with other browsers). There is a conflict between two players running at the same time. What to do in such a situation?
Check if you have the latest version
1.Go to the Menu and click on the “Advanced” item in the drop-down list.
3.If there is an “Update” button in the tab, then click on it. This means that you have an outdated browser version. This can naturally cause problems with other modules. The update downloads quickly and installs immediately.
4.Click on “Restart”.
Since Yandex Browser is now updated automatically, there may be a message: “You are using the latest version of Yandex Browser.” In this case, it's not a matter of updating. Remove the second outdated player.
If you only use Yandex on your PC, you have the right to remove the Adobe Flash Player plugin that you installed earlier.
1.Launch Control Panel via Start or otherwise.
2.Find the “Uninstall programs” section.
3. Find Adobe Flash Player and remove it. Restart the browser.
Often plugins for Yandex Browser do not run properly on the site due to a full cache. You can clean it using special programs, for example, CCleaner, or through the tools of the browser itself. Let's consider the second option.
1.Go to Browser Settings.
2.Go to the end of the page and click on the “Show additional settings” button.
3.Click on the second button “Clear download history”.
4.Set the “All time” parameter.
5.Leave all the marked items as they are and click on “Clear history”.
If the problem continues to bother you from time to time, you can use the following trick: disable the built-in module and install the Adobe Flash Player plugin from the official resource.
Plugins are an integral part of browsers. It is highly not recommended to disable them yourself if the browser is working stably. Also make sure your browser receives regular updates.
Like most other web browsers, Yandex supports a modular architecture, that is, it allows you to connect a variety of plugins to expand the standard functionality. Installed add-ons can change the basic interface or add new tools to improve your browsing experience. In addition, there are special service plugins that allow some important services to work in the browser. This article describes how to configure extensions: where to find them, how to enable or disable a new plugin in the Yandex browser.
If you want to enable any plugin, you must install it on the Yandex browser. To do this, you can use catalogs from Yandex or Google, or download the add-on from the website dedicated to it. In this guide, installing extensions is discussed using the example of AdBlock, a plugin for blocking advertising banners on website pages.
Firstly, users can open the official Russian-language website of the application at https://adblockplus.org/ru/. Here you can select the version for the browser from Yandex and click on the “Install” button. After this, the addon will be added to the program toolkit, and its functions will be available to you.
The second way is to visit the Google extensions web catalog and open the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps. In the search bar on the left, enter the name of the extension – AdBlock, and press Enter. Select the distribution you are interested in and click on the “Install” button next to its name.
You can work with the Yandex catalog in a similar way. Go to the page https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/, enter the name of the desired application in the search form and press Enter. After this, all you have to do is click on the green “Add to Yandex Browser” button - and the plugin will be connected.
As a rule, after successful installation, extensions are activated automatically and start working immediately. If you don’t need it to work at the moment, it is recommended to disable it in order to save system resources and increase the performance of the Yandex browser:
If you want to remove an unnecessary plugin, you need to hover over the “enable/disable” switch, after which a “Delete” button will appear to the right of it, which you need to click on. Please note that you cannot remove extensions that are pre-installed in the Yandex browser, such as “Turbo” or “Yandex.Weather”.
There is no centralized interface for changing the configurations of installed extensions in the Yandex browser. Instead, each plugin has its own menu through which it can be configured. Typically, installed addons create special icons in the panel, which is located to the right of the address bar. If you click on this icon with the left and right (depending on the plugin) mouse button, a drop-down control menu will open.
Using this menu, users can work with the application, temporarily enable or disable its functions, and configure its settings. In this article, the settings are described using the example of the DotVPN add-on, an anonymizer for Internet browsers:
To play video content, work with documents or PDF files, display three-dimensional graphics and other similar functions, the Yandex browser also uses additional applications. As a rule, they are installed and updated automatically, so the average user does not need to deal with them.
However, if any of these plugins freezes and stops updating on its own, it can cause constant errors and crashes of the entire program. In this case, it is recommended to disable it and update it manually.
To prevent inexperienced users from accidentally disrupting the correct operation of the browser, these service extensions are not displayed on the page of regular addons. They have their own page in the interface, which can be accessed at “browser://plugins/” or “about://plugins/”.
