Failed to load the plugin - what to do in Yandex browser?

If you use the Yandex Internet browser, then you may be familiar with the following situation. When you open a page with an online video, you see the error “could not load plugin.” What should I do, Yandex browser is buggy or what is the problem? In this publication I will share simple and effective solutions.

All browsers using the Chromium core (Yandex, Chrome) require a component to play media content Adobe Flash Player or Shockwave. The latter is built into browsers and updates automatically. And if the above error occurs, then trying to download the update from the official website will not give any positive results.

What to do? Try the following methods.

Power on/restart

If the plugin failed to load, there is a chance that it is simply deactivated. It's very easy to check this assumption:

• In the Yandex browser address bar you need to enter the command:

browser://plugins

• You will be taken to a page with a list of all available components. But we are specifically interested in the Flash module. In my case it was inactive:

• Click on the “Enable” link, then check the box next to the “Always run” option.
• It is advisable to restart the application after completing the manipulations.

Was the solution helpful? By the way, if you see the error “could not load the plugin,” what should you do in Google Chrome? Alas. The above solution is not applicable for Google Chrome. But you can use the following options.

Clearing cookies and cache

It often happens that a page with a content display error is stored in the browser’s memory. And even after fixing the problem, we will see an “outdated” version of the site. To bypass the caching results and see the latest information, you should delete Cache and Cookies. I will not repeat myself, since I previously published detailed instructions on how to do this in and. Just follow one of the links and follow the basic instructions.

Just don’t forget to close your browser program or simply reload the desired tab by pressing F5 on your keyboard.

Please note that if these methods are ineffective, then the problem may not be on your part, but on the server where the site is located. It’s easy to check this: open the same resource in any other browser, or ask your friends to look at theirs.

In the worst case scenario, you will have to completely reinstall Yandex (you can find out more about the procedure
