Open the list of plugins in Yandex.Browser

To expand the capabilities, it is equipped with the function of connecting plugins. If you want to manage their work in a given web browser, then you are probably wondering where you can open them.

Since users often equate plugins with extensions, we will try to consider all possible options for accessing both plugins and add-ons.

Method 1: through browser settings (relevant for Flash Player)

In the Yandex settings menu there is a section that allows you to manage the operation of such a well-known plugin as.

Method 2: Go to the plugin list

A plug-in is a special tool that does not have an interface, aimed at expanding the capabilities of the browser. If Yandex does not have a plugin to play any content on the site, the system automatically prompts you to install it, after which the installed components can be found in a separate section of the web browser.

  1. In a Yandex web browser, go to the following link, which must be entered into the address bar:

    2. browser://plugins

  2. A list of installed plugins will be displayed on the screen, where you can manage their activity. For example, if you select the disable button near "Chromium PDF Viewer", the web browser, instead of immediately displaying the contents of the PDF file, will only download it to your computer.

Method 3: Go to the list of installed add-ons

Add-ons are miniature programs built into the browser that can provide it with new functionality. As a rule, add-ons are installed by the user himself, but in Yandex Browser, unlike many other web browsers, some interesting extensions are already installed and activated by default.

Method 4: Go to the advanced add-on management menu

If you paid attention to the previous method of going to the menu for displaying the list of add-ons, you probably noticed that it lacks features such as deleting extensions and installing updates for them. But the advanced add-on management section exists, and you can get to it in a slightly different way.

  1. Go to the following link in the Yandex Browser address bar:

    2. browser://extensions/

  2. A list of extensions will be displayed on the screen, where you can manage the activity of installed add-ons, completely remove them from the browser, and also check for updates.
