What are plug-ins in Yandex.Browser. How to set up plug-ins in the browser How to unblock automatic execution of plug-ins

Apparently, users of modern Internet browsers were faced with the ability to connect special extensions called plugins. In this sense, the Google Chrome browser is no exception. Let's see what is in his set and how to use it all.

General concepts of additions

Let's start with the very concept of "plugin". If anyone does not know, in the same Google Chrome Plugins (connected to the main browser interface) are special modules, or, as they are also called, add-ons that allow you to use some additional browser features, as well as optimize your work with it. Probably, everyone noticed that in terms of comfortable work, the same “hot keys” are often used to reduce the time to perform a particular operation.

The principles of operation of Google Chrome Plugins (and any others) are somewhat similar. True, there are also enough differences here, since they work, so to speak, more globally, although they have a clear focus on the execution of a particular task.

What are Chrome Plugins: Plugins

Now, perhaps, consider the main (standard) set presented in the browser. To view the entire list of Chrome Plugins, enable or disable any add-on, you need to type the combination Chrome://Plugins/ in the address bar, after which a page will open where the entire list will be presented.

We note right away that many users do not have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat plug-ins are, and that is why they consider that only Adobe Flash Player, which is installed and activated in

Here it is worth paying attention to one more thing regarding Chrome Plugins. It will be possible to enable some of them only after the corresponding update. If we talk about Flash Player, this module itself will offer to download and install the latest version.

The next representative of Chrome Plugins, which is recommended to be enabled upon registration, is the module responsible for working with the popular social network Facebook. If the user has registration, the work will become much more comfortable (this applies not only to messages or notifications, but also to all the features that the social network itself and its additional components offer).

By default, some versions of the browser from Adobe have two more components. These are Adobe Shockwave and Adobe PDF. The first module is a multimedia platform formerly known as Macromedia Shockwave. The second add-in, as the name already implies, is designed to make it easier to work with documents in the .pdf format, as they say, without leaving the browser, which in some cases, viewing such files on the Internet is very convenient.

In terms of video processing, presented in there are several more specialized elements, among which the most popular among Chrome Plugins are plug-ins such as DivXPlus Web Player, Real Player, Quick Time and Windows Media Player. The presence of such add-ons allows you to play all multimedia content in general, without any restrictions in terms of supported formats.

It goes without saying that among the plug-ins included by default are Java and a special add-on from Microsoft called Silverlight.

How to enable core add-ons

So, we have Plugins Chrome add-ons. How to enter the list, we have already figured out. Now consider enabling and disabling. It's very easy to enable Chrome Plugins. To do this, click on the link (button) located below the name of the plugin.

An interesting situation may arise here. Most often this concerns the Adobe Flash Player module. If the program was installed on the system separately, say, before installing the Google Chrome browser, two files may be present when the settings are displayed (installed earlier and included in the browser). You must click the "Details" button, and then use exactly the version that is currently needed or is more recent.

Disabling modules

As for deactivation, Chrome Plugins can be disabled by doing the reverse. For this, as is already clear, the active link "Disable" is used when the enabled state of a particular module is enabled.

Installing third-party add-ons

In addition to the fact that the browser itself has a standard set of extensions, it also supports the installation of many third-party modules, which often have quite interesting and unusual functions. You can list them almost endlessly. What are only such popular extensions as Adblock, Last.FM free music player, Speed Dial, iReader, RDS Bar, Auto-translate, AutoPager Chrome, Awesome Screenshot, Google Calendar and many others.

As you can see from the list, the choice is quite wide. What we are most interested in here, however, is the unique Adblock add-on. Why unique? The fact is that this module is capable of blocking advertising garbage or the intrusive appearance of various kinds of banners to a fairly high degree. Naturally, this add-on was developed not only for the Chrome browser, but also for others.

As for the installation and configuration of this module (as well as others), you first need to download the add-on to your computer, and then install it. However, it is better to use the online installation, after which it will be possible to immediately activate the add-on in the browser.

Some questions about enabling third-party modules

Actually, installed third-party Chrome Plugins can be enabled in the same way as any other standard add-ons (they are all installed in a separate folder by default). Any of the plugins is available to be turned on or off in a standard way, so that no user will have to delve into additional settings and parameters.

Should I use add-ons?

Now we come to one of the most burning questions. To use or not to use this or that plugin, each user decides for himself. Some users are confused by the fact that the included add-ons can affect not only the operation of the Internet browser, but also the entire computer system as a whole. Well, partly it is. If a browser with add-ons is used on a weak system, it is advisable to disable some modules, leaving only Adobe Flash Player, since without it it will be simply impossible to view the same streaming video on the Internet.

If the system meets modern requirements and is powerful enough, it is better to leave video plugins enabled. In addition, of course, if desired, you can also use it in the form of an Adblock module or quick access to the Facebook social network, although, according to many, it is this add-on that often “slows down”.

Outcome

In general, as it is already clear, working with add-ons in the Google Chrome browser is quite simple. To do this, you do not even need to have any specific knowledge or have special skills. Whether or not to use such add-ons is another matter. But it already depends on each specific user.

On the other hand, as practice shows, very often add-ons and add-ons become very useful with. Take the same blocking of intrusive ads. Probably, it is not necessary to explain that advertising is extremely annoying.

In principle, the add-ons responsible for playing multimedia content are also important, because you won’t run a player or program manually every time. In general, there are many advantages.

Finally, it remains to be noted that the standard list of plugins may be different, it all depends on the installed version of the browser itself. Most often this can be seen if we compare the English and Russian assembly. But the principles of operation and use of plugins do not change from this.

How to configure plug-ins in the browser.

What is a module?
Module (plugin) is a software block that is built into the browser and expands its capabilities. Unlike add-ons, a module usually does not have an interface. Modules are used to play video and audio in the browser, view PDF documents, improve web services that organize collaboration on the Internet, etc.
Module installation
Typically, the need to install modules arises when you visit a site that has specific content (such as a video). For the correct display of this content, you need to install one or another module.

The browser will tell you to install the appropriate module and prompt you to do so: you will see a notification at the top of the page. You will need to download the latest version of the module from the developer's site and install it.
How to disable a module?

How to remove a module?
You cannot delete an installed module in the browser interface. To do this, you must use the standard functions of the operating system.

On Windows: go to Control Panel → Programs and Features and remove the unnecessary module.

On Mac OS: go to the folder Applications and move the icon of the program you don't need to the trash.

Update obsolete modules
Modules are not automatically updated and may be out of date. The browser detects obsolete modules: if a module is obsolete, you will see a message about it under the address bar:

To install the latest version of the module, select Update module...

If you want to perform the required action without updating the module, click Run just this time. In this case, the message about blocking the module will also appear the next time you start the browser.

Plugins in Google Chrome: how to open? Everyone has heard about application plugins for browsers that make it easier to work with various sites and programs, now rarely anyone can do without them. And today we will learn how to add plugins to one of the most popular of them, namely Chrome.

There are plugins that are installed automatically when you install the web browser, they are tested by the Chrome manufacturer, they can be changed and modified. Among them are Adobe Flash Player, Adobe PDF, Adobe Shockwave, DivXPlus Web Player, Java, Microsoft Silverlight, Quick Time, Real Player, Windows Media Player.

Also, the user can deliver third-party plugins, but this is not always safe, so you should be sure what kind of application and where you are installing from.
To enable the plug-in, it is enough to write chrome: // plugins / in the browser line and press Enter, and in the window that opens, opposite the desired plug-in, press the enable button. In the same way, we can disable the plugin we do not need.

In order to download new plugins, just open the Chrome settings, Extension, Other extensions and in the mountain on the left, enter the application we need in the search. They are paid and free.

Flash Player not included. How to activate it in Google Chrome? (Google Chrome)

Google Chrome sometimes does not play videos, giving the error "Adobe Flash Player is already installed, but disabled ...". The flash player is based on the Netscape Plugin Programming Interface (NPAPI). The official Google website reports that all plug-ins created using this technology harm the security of the browser, and most of the functions of some plug-ins have been taken over by HTML5 code. For this reason, it was decided to abandon such plugins from 09/01/15. But below is a way to deal with it.

Ways to enable the Adobe Flash Player plugin

First of all, check if you have the latest version of the browser, if not, then update to the latest version. If after updating the Flash player did not work, then you will need to enable this plugin in Google Chrome. Open the menu in the upper right corner of the Customize and Manage Google Chrome window and select Settings

In the settings that opens, we are looking for Show advanced settings...

We find the section Personal data and click the button Content settings

After that, look for the Plugins subsection and click on manage individual plugins

In the window with plug-ins we find Adobe Flash Player and turn it on.

The easy way

In order to avoid searching through the menu, submenu and generally wasting time searching for settings buried in the depths of the browser, simply enter chrome://plugins/ in the address bar and press Enter in the loaded page with plugins, find the Flash player - turn it on or off and check the "Always run" checkbox. In the address bar, enter chrome://components/ find the "pepper_flash" section, click Check for updates.

Sometimes it happens like this - you installed Flash Player with Google Chrome or another browser turned on, then you just need to restart the browser. If the problem is not solved by this method, then we can advise you to switch to another browser, such as Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.

A plugin (module) is a software unit that is built into Yandex.Browser and expands its capabilities. Unlike add-ons, a plugin usually does not have an interface. Plugins are used to play video and audio in the browser, view PDF documents, improve web services that organize online collaboration, etc.

Plugin Installation

Typically, the need to install plugins arises when you visit a site that has specific content (such as a video). For the correct display of this content, you need to install one or another plug-in.

Yandex.Browser will notify you that you need to install the appropriate plug-in and prompt you to do so: you will see a notification at the top of the page. You will need to download the latest version of the plugin from the developer's site and install it.

How to disable the plugin?

Disable plugin autorun

By default, in Yandex.Browser, Flash videos start automatically when you open a page. To save RAM and increase security in your browser, you can prevent automatic launch:

Update deprecated plugins

Plugins are not automatically updated and may become out of date. Yandex.Browser detects outdated plugins: if a plugin is outdated, you will see a message about it under the address bar:

To install the latest version of the plugin, select Update plugin.

If you want to perform the required action without updating the plugin, click Run just this time. In this case, the plug-in blocking message will also appear the next time you start Yandex.Browser.

Hello, friends! In this article, we will understand what plugins are, how to enable or disable them in Google Chrome, and also consider how to block the right one in the browser.

Browser plugins - what are they?

As always, first of all, a little theory from me, so that you later understand what and why you are doing. Or maybe you don't need it at all. Kidding)

Plugins are special applications that are installed in the browser and significantly expand its functionality. They can be conditionally divided into two types: user and service.

The former are also called browser add-ons or extensions. In Google Chrome, they can be installed either using the Chrome Web Store, or by going to the website of the developer of the selected extension on the Internet. The user can independently decide which modules to connect in Google Chrome for comfortable work in the browser. These can be extensions to block ads, download music, view mail, or add visual bookmarks.

Service - designed to correctly display the page being viewed in the browser. The most popular include Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, Java, QuickTime, Windows Media Player. Such plugins allow you to play audio and video on sites, view pdf files, and display all site content correctly.

Chrome plugins are installed automatically. At the same time, when you go to a certain site, you may see a window asking you to install the missing one, confirm the installation. If you need to download it, then save the proposed one and restart the browser.

Now let's touch on the service plugins that are installed in Google Chrome in more detail.

Attention!!! Dear readers, browser developers have disabled the ability to manage service plugins using the chrome://plugins/ link. At the moment it is not working. You can also manage add-ons such as Adobe Flash Player, Java by going to the menu item "Settings" - "Show advanced settings" - "Personal data" - "Content settings"

Enable Plugin

You will not find all the service ones in the list of extensions installed in the browser. To do this, open Chrome and enter chrome://plugins/ in the address bar, press "Enter".

In the next window you will see the list of interest to us, they are all installed in the browser. Usually, such plugins do not need to be enabled, as the Internet browser does this automatically.

If the sites do not have the opportunity, for example, to view files in pdf format, then the corresponding module in the browser is either not installed or disabled. If you see the required plugin in the list, then you need to enable it. To do this, click on the button below it in the form of a link "Enable".

Disable plugins

In order to completely disable unnecessary in Google Chrome, open the list as described above. Select the one you want to disable and click on the "Disable" button below it.

If you go to a site where you need exactly the one that was disabled, then you will not be able to enable it directly from the page. You will need to open this list again, and click on the appropriate button.

Plugin blocking

In some cases, Google Chrome automatically blocks the work of those that are outdated or rarely used. If you want to block some of them yourself, do the following.

Click on the button in the upper right in the form of three horizontal lines and select "Settings" from the list.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Show advanced settings".

Then, in the "Personal" group, click "Content Settings".

“Run content of all plugins” – when opening the browser, all updated plugins will be launched;

"Find and run important plugin content" - the launch will occur only when they are needed;

"Ask permission to run plugin content" - the browser will block their launch on sites. To run it manually, right-click on it and select Run Plugin from the context menu.

After that, click on the "Finish" button.

That's all. I think now you understand what plugins are, how they can be enabled, disabled or blocked in the Google Chrome browser.
