What is a plug-in for Yandex Browser

A browser plugin is third-party code developed to extend the functionality of the browser. In other words, this is an add-on designed for a more comfortable surfing on the Internet. Plugins are an important part of any browser, as surfing the Internet without such add-ons becomes incomplete.

Major problems with plugins

Typically, errors when installing plugins are the result of either compatibility issues or an oversight on the part of the browser or plugin developers.

Sometimes, when trying to launch a video, game or music, users encounter the following error: "Failed to load plugin."

The image may change over time, but the meaning will remain the same

Common problems include the following:

• an error in the Flash Player. Occurs when the version of a plugin or browser is out of date;
• loading the (cached) version of the page saved in the PC memory. If the browser saved a page in the PC memory without using the plugin, then there is a possibility that it will load it even if the plugin is not enabled;
• obsolescence of the current browser version. The program may be too old to work properly on new systems;
• programs that disrupt the system. These include viruses, ad integrators, etc.;
• the problem is at the operating system level. Too old OS version, incorrect update installation, etc.;
• conflict (incompatibility) of two plugins.

Let's consider several options for solving problems.

Plugin conflict

If next to the name of the plugin there is the text "2 files" enclosed in brackets, then the cause of the problem is most likely a conflict that interferes with the normal functioning of two elements at once. To resolve it, follow the instructions:

1. Go to browser: // plugins.

2. Click on "Details".

   

   Click on the button "Details"

3. Disable one of the plugins.

   

   Disable one of the plugins

4. Restart the page by pressing F5.
5. If the problem persists, enable the first plugin and disable the second.

This problem most often occurs when using Flash Player, so the first step is to try to disable it. But this method is applicable not only to this extension.

Error while caching the page

Such an error rarely occurs, but you should not bypass it. To fix it, clear the cache and cookies so that the browser creates new ones:

1. Click on the button with the image of three horizontal stripes in the upper right corner of the browser. Select "Advanced" and "Clear history".

2. In the form that opens, set the period for deleting data. Make sure that the "Files stored in the cache" and "Cookies and other data from sites and modules" items are selected below. Click "Clear History".

   

   You can also open this form by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Delete

Virus or adware

By downloading files from unverified sources, the user always runs the risk of receiving something unwanted or even dangerous for his privacy along with the desired information. It can be a banal toolbar with a bunch of technical problems, a virus stealing passwords, a cryptocurrency miner or an ad integrator. It is the second and the last that can disrupt the operation of the browser, including plugins.

Here are some guidelines for dealing with such problems:

1. Check the list of browser extensions by typing "browser: // tune" (without quotes) in the address bar. If you find anything suspicious, then try turning it off and check if the problem persists. As a rule, additional advertising integrators disguise themselves as services that report the weather, but they are done in a hurry and can cause problems with the performance of the browser and the work of some plugins.

   

   If you find something suspicious in the list of extensions, then try disabling it

2. Update your browser, operating system, and antivirus (if any). Windows Defender might not be enough.

3. Turn on the aforementioned Windows Defender if it is turned off. To enable this element of the system, you need to enter the query "Windows Defender" in the "Start" menu. In the window that opens, find the "Settings" item and move the slider under the "Real-time protection" item to the active position.

   

   Turn on Windows Defender if you had it turned off before

4. Perform a full scan of your PC with an antivirus. You can also use the Dr. Web CureIt utility, as it is distributed free of charge and allows you to quickly scan your computer with subsequent elimination of threats.

From personal experience, I can say that ad integrators are not always defined as a virus. Even a schoolchild can write a similar one, and you can think of enough variations of such programs so that they do not have time to get into the databases of anti-virus applications in time. In my opinion, the best protection here would be banal caution when downloading files from the network.

Plugin is not supported by browser

There may be several reasons for this problem:

• outdated version of a plugin or browser. It is solved by updating or reinstalling one of the components, and for reliability - all;
• partial incompatibility with the current version of the operating system. As a rule, it occurs when installing an old version of the browser on a new OC or a relatively new version on an old one. There is no clear version compatibility table, so this problem is solved by updating the system and browser to the latest versions.

The algorithm for solving the problem is similar to that used for the Google Chrome browser.

General recommendations for fixing problems with plugins for Yandex. Browser

Let's take a look at some of the less common problems.

Plugin disabled

The plugin could probably have just been turned off by default. To solve this problem, you need to enable the plugin.

Plugins settings window allows you to enable or disable them

Left-click on "Enable". It is also recommended to click on the "Always run" checkbox.

Browser auto-update does not work

Of course, Yandex. Browser provides automatic updates. However, errors may appear that interfere with this process. Try to update the program manually.

To do this, enter browser: // help in the address bar and press Enter. If the page has an "Update" button, then your version is indeed outdated. At the end of the installation, the "Restart" button will appear. Click on it for the changes to take effect.

What to do if none of the methods worked

If the problem has arisen recently, and once the browser worked correctly, then you can perform a system restore. It will "roll back" your OS to a checkpoint.

1. Open "Control Panel".
2. Using the search function, find the item "Recovery".
3. Click on "Start System Restore".

4. Choose a restore point that is dated to the date when there were no problems with the browser.

   

   From the list of restore points, select the one that is dated by the date when there were no problems yet

5. Recover.

If even that doesn't help, then it's time to reinstall Windows.

To prevent problems with the browser, follow the following set of rules:

• do not download files from unverified sources;
• do not delete system files;
• keep your browser, antivirus and operating system up to date;
• periodically scan your PC's memory for malware.

The author recommends that you pay attention that there are two ways to restore the system: without deleting files and with deleting files. Inattention when choosing one of the options can lead to the loss of files that appeared on the PC after creating a restore point.

Despite the abundance of all kinds of problems with Yandex. Browser, it is quite simple to solve them, and it is even easier to avoid them by taking timely care of PC security.
