Extensions

Based on a careful analysis of existing extensions and user preferences, we selected the most popular, useful and secure extensions for the Yandex Browser beta version.

To open the extensions list, click  → Extensions. The page that opens shows the browser extensions you can install. To do this, toggle the button next to the extension name to On. In addition to extensions, the list shows optional browser features (for example, syncing).

When some extensions are on, an icon appears to the right of the SmartBox. When you click the icon, you can access the extension’s features:

• Hide icon
• Show icon
• Collapse multiple icons

1. Right-click the extension icon.
2. Select Hide button.

If an extension icon doesn't display in the browser panel:

1. Click  → Extensions.
2. Tap More details under the description of the extension.
3. Click Show button.

If there are a lot of icons on the panel, you can collapse them:

1. Hover the mouse cursor over the area between the SmartBox and the extension icons so that the cursor changes to a two-way arrow.
2. Press the left mouse button.
3. Drag it to the right while holding it.

Click to see all the collapsed extensions.

You can set keyboard shortcuts to quickly activate an extension or perform various actions with it.

1. Click  → Extensions.
2. Click Keyboard shortcuts for extensions at the bottom of the page.
3. Select the desired extension.
4. Choose the action that you want to assign a shortcut to and click in the field to the right of it.
5. Press and hold one or more modifier keys (Ctrl, Shift, Alt) and a key of your choice.
6. Click OK.

The Yandex Browser beta version supports extensions only from the Opera browser catalog that have been checked to ensure they are safe. If you try to install an extension from a different source, you will see one of these notifications:
