Modern browsers Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox make it easy to expand their functionality by adding firmware, which in Chrome are called extensions, and in Firefox - add-ons. This article explains how to install and configure visual bookmarks in Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, which will allow you to easily navigate to your favorite sites. With thumbnail images of links to sites, you can easily navigate to any of them. Now you do not need to enter the address of a web page in the address bar. Simply click on the thumbnail images of websites or blogs.

How to set visual bookmarks for Google Chrome

The high-speed Internet browser Chrome is the most popular among users, but unfortunately it does not have such a feature by default.

In the upper right corner of the browser, click on the Google Chrome settings and control icon (which looks like three short stripes). In the submenu that opens, select Tools. And then click on Extensions.

On the page that opens, go to the very bottom and bottom left and click on the link More extensions. After that, the Chrome web store opens (we will not buy anything, we will download everything for free).

On the page in the upper left corner in the search box, drive in Visual bookmarks and press the key Enter.

Now it is clear that it is possible to install as many as four "varieties". Consider the option from Yandex.

Press the hefty button on the right + Install. After that, a window will pop up, in which we press Add. After that, in the upper right corner of the browser we see a message that the extension was successfully installed. Everything.

Opening a new tab (don't throw rocks at me, but there are some who don't know how to open a new tab). For them, I show a picture where you need to click.

This will open a new page. There are already pre-installed pictures of search, mail, weather, photos and the market. There are also buttons on YouTube, Google Search and Gmail. If you wish, you can delete them - when you hover your mouse over the picture in the upper right corner of the picture, click the cross.

Please note that in the lower right corner are the program settings.

Using the settings button, you can customize the total number of bookmarks, their location and wallpaper. Everything is pretty clear there - select the one you need and click.

Adding and editing

Let's try to add a visual bookmark. To do this, move the mouse over the free field, which changes and a plus appears in it. We press. The editing window opens.

In the field where it says either click on one of the recently visited sites, or insert another link to the site you like. In the appropriate field, enter the name and, as always, press Save.

Please note that pictures can be dragged to a place convenient for you, for example, swapped.

Bookmarks can be edited. So if you bring the mouse to the picture, then in the right corner you will see the settings elements - you can edit, update or delete. And on the left - the bookmark can be hidden.

Removal

The Google Chrome browser allows you to remove any installed extension. To do this, in the upper right corner of the browser, click on the settings and control icon (see the topmost figure in this article). Select Tools and then Extensions. The page that opens will show all the extensions installed in your browser. To disable, just uncheck the checkbox. Included. And for complete removal, move the mouse to the basket (located to the right of the extension) and click. And there was no expansion.

How to set visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox

This browser also allows you to expand its functionality by adding various add-ons. To do this, select Tools in the browser and in the submenu that opens, click Add-ons (if you have the menu bar disabled, then use the hot keys Ctrl+Shift+A).

The settings window opens. In the upper right corner, in the search field, enter Visual bookmarks and press Enter.

We are offered to install three options. Consider an installation example from top-page.ru 1.4. Click the button on the right Install. The download is in progress and when you open a new tab, a corresponding icon will appear in the upper right corner of the browser. We click on it and see a completely new look of the page with a pre-installed Yandex search.

Adding sites is easy. Move the mouse over any empty box where a plus sign will immediately appear. Click on it.

The Add Site window opens. In field Website address enter the URL of the site you like and in the field Name of the site make an appropriate entry. Click Add. Done. Please note that the created visual bookmarks can be dragged and edited. To edit, move the mouse over the picture and you will see a wrench logo in the lower right corner, when you click on it, an editing window opens, in which you can make the appropriate changes. Well, if you do not need a picture, then in the upper right corner of the picture there is a cross when you click on which the selected picture is deleted.

This add-on has one, but it seems to me a significant drawback - a small advertisement hung at the very bottom.
