Apparently, users of modernInternet browsers have come across the ability to connect special extensions called plugins. In this sense, Google Chrome browser is no exception. Let's see what is in its set and how to use it all.
General concepts of additions
Let's start with the notion of "plugin".If anyone does not know, in the same Google Chrome Plugins (connected to the main browser interface) are special modules, or, as they are called, add-ins that allow using some additional browser functions, as well as optimize work with it. Probably, everyone noticed that in terms of comfortable work, very often the same “hot keys” are used, which allow reducing the time for performing a particular operation.
How does Google Chrome Plugins work?others) are somewhat similar. True, there are also enough differences here, since they are working more globally, so to speak, although they have a clear focus on the execution of a particular task.
What is Chrome Plugins: plug-ins
Now, perhaps, consider the main(standard) set presented in the browser. To view the entire list of Chrome Plugins, enable or disable an add-on, you need to type the Chrome: // Plugins / combination in the address bar, then the page will open, where the entire list will be displayed.
We note immediately that many users do not havea clear idea of what the plugins are, and that is why they consider that only Adobe Flash Player, which is installed and activated in the default browser, is one of those.
It's worth paying attention to one more thing.Concerning Chrome Plugins. Include some of them will be only after the corresponding update. If we talk about Flash Player, this module itself will offer to download and install the latest version.
The next representative of the Chrome Plugins, enablewhich are recommended if you have a registration, this is the module responsible for working with the popular social network Facebook. If the user has a registration, the work will become much more comfortable (this applies not only to messages or notifications, but also to all those opportunities offered by the social network itself and its additional components).
By default, in some versions of the browser fromAdobe has two more components. This is Adobe Shockwave and Adobe PDF. The first module is a multimedia platform, previously known as Macromedia Shockwave. The second add-on, as the name implies, is designed to facilitate the work with .pdf documents, as they say, without leaving the browser, that in some cases viewing such files on the Internet is very convenient.
In terms of video processing, presented inThe World Wide Web, there are several other specialized elements, among which are the most demanded plug-ins such as Chrome Plugins, such as DivXPlus Web Player, Real Player, Quick Time and Windows Media Player. The presence of such add-ons allows you to play all multimedia content in general, without any restrictions in terms of supported formats.
It goes without saying that among the plug-ins that are enabled by default is Java and a special addition from Microsoft called Silverlight.
How to include the main additions
So, we have additions of Plugins Chrome.How to enter the list, we have already figured out. Now consider switching on and off. Chrome Plugins can be turned on very easily. To do this, click on the link (button) located below the name of the plugin.
There may be an interesting situation.This most often concerns the Adobe Flash Player module. If the program was installed into the system separately, say, before installing the Google Chrome browser, there may be two files (previously installed and included in the browser) when displaying the settings. You must click the "More" button, and then use exactly the version that is needed at the moment or is more recent.
Module shutdown
As for deactivation, Chrome PluginsYou can disable by performing the reverse steps. To do this, as is already clear, the active “Disable” link is used when the enabled state of a particular module is on.
Installing third-party add-ons
In addition to the fact that the browser itself hasA standard set of extensions, it also supports the installation of many third-party modules, which often have quite interesting and unusual features. You can list them almost indefinitely. What are only such popular extensions as Adblock, Last.FM free music player, Speed Dial, iReader, RDS Bar, Auto-translate, AutoPager Chrome, Awesome Screenshot, Google Calendar and many others.
As you can see from the list, the choice is quite wide.However, we are most interested in the unique Adblock add-on here. Why unique? The fact is that this module is capable of blocking advertising junk or the appearance of various kinds of banners in a rather high degree. Naturally, this add-on was designed not only for the Chrome browser, but also for others.
As for the installation and configuration of thismodule (as well as others), you first need to download the add-on computer, and then make the installation. However, it is better to use the online installation, after which you can immediately activate the add-on in the browser.
Some issues on the inclusion of third-party modules
Actually, the installed third-party modules ChromePlugins can be included in the same way as any other standard add-ons (they are all installed in a separate default folder). Any of the plugins is available to turn on or off in the standard way, so that no user will have to dig through the advanced settings and parameters.
Should I use add-ons
Теперь мы подошли к одному из самых burning issues. To use or not to use one or another plugin, each user decides for himself. Some users are confused by the fact that the included add-ons can have an effect not only on the work of the Internet browser, but also on the entire computer system as a whole. Well, in part it is. If the browser with add-ons is used in a weak system, it is advisable to disable some modules, leaving only Adobe Flash Player, since without it you will not be able to view the same streaming video on the Internet.
If the system meets modern requirementsand is powerful enough, video plugins are best left on. In addition, of course, at will, you can use ad blocking in the form of an Adblock module or quick access to the Facebook social network, although, as many believe, it is this addition that often “slows down”.
The result
In general, as already understood, working withadditions in the Google Chrome browser is quite simple. To do this, you do not even need to have any specific knowledge or special skills. Another thing - to use such additions or not. But it already depends on each specific user.
On the other hand, as practice shows, veryAdd-ons and add-on modules often become very useful when surfing the Internet. Take the same blocking of intrusive advertising. Probably not worth explaining that advertising is extremely annoying.
In principle, and additions responsible forMultimedia content playback is also important, because you will not run a player or program manually every time. In general, there are many advantages.
Finally it remains to be noted that the standardThe list of plugins can be different, it all depends on the installed version of the browser itself. Most often this can be traced, if we compare the English-speaking and Russian assembly. But the principles of operation and use of plug-ins do not change.
