Installing and using the VkOpt extension in Yandex Browser

VkOpt is the most useful addition for users of the VK social network, which provides this social service with a large package of various capabilities. Today we will dwell on this really interesting solution in more detail.

Installing VkOpt in the Yandex browser

Using the extension begins, of course, with installing it in the browser.

Please note that you must download the add-on to your browser exclusively from the developer’s official website. The fact is that due to the popularity of this solution, a lot of clones have appeared on the Internet, which can pose a serious threat to the security of your computer.

1. Follow the link at the end of the article to the official website of the VkOpt developer. Click the button next to the Google Chrome browser icon "Install".
   
   
   
   
   
2. Next you will need to confirm the installation of the extension.
   
   
   
   

Once the installation is successfully completed, a small window will pop up in the upper right corner informing you about this.

Using VkOpt

Already from the name of the extension it becomes clear that its work extends to the social service VKontakte, so it is this site that we should go to. Below we will look at using the key features of this extension.

Download music

Perhaps the most desired opportunity for every user of the VKontakte social network. What’s nice is that downloading music works even with the new social network interface, so you won’t have any problems downloading.

1. Go to section "Music". If you hover your mouse over the song you are interested in, an additional menu will open to the right of it, which contains a download icon.
   
   
   
   
   
2. By clicking this icon, Yandex Browser will immediately begin downloading the selected song.
   

Video download

Downloading videos from VK follows approximately the same principle. You simply open the video you are interested in and click on the download icon to the right of it.

Scrolling through photos with the mouse wheel

Having opened an impressively sized album of photos, you can move between them with much greater comfort if you use only the mouse wheel.

1. By default, this feature is disabled, but you can enable it at any time. To do this, click on your avatar in the upper right corner and in the additional menu that appears, open the item "VkOpt".
   
   
   
   
   
2. The VkOpt settings window will open on the screen, in which you should check the box next to the item “Scrolling through photos with the mouse wheel” (the very first one on the list). Close the settings window.
   
   
   
   

From now on, you just need to slightly scroll the mouse wheel until it clicks, after which the photo will change to another. This feature is extremely convenient.

Other interesting features of VkOpt:

• Ad blocking;
  
  
• Display information about audio size and bitrate;
  
  
• Automatic removal of characters from audio names;
  
  
• Disable the rounding function;
  
  
• Restoring the usual VKontakte logo;
  
  
• Highlighting common groups with color;
  
  
• Set your own background color for unread messages and much more.
  

We hope we were able to prove to you the usefulness of the VkOpt add-on, which provides users with those VKontakte capabilities that cannot be obtained from the developers of the social network. This solution is distributed, as always, completely free of charge, but the developers will not mind your financial assistance (even in the amount of five rubles) through a Webmoney wallet.
