With the help of web browsers, you can not only browse websites, but also use them as powerful downloaders of any content. For example, through Yandex.Browser you can easily download video and audio from social networks and hosting sites like YouTube using special extensions.
Video DownloadHelper (or simply DownloadHelper) is an add-on created for Google Chrome and freely installed in Yandex.Browser. After installation, the user can download videos from various sites, both Russian and foreign. This extension differs from all others in that it can download streaming audio and video - no other browser downloaders can boast of this.
This extension is installed just like any other. Its capabilities allow you to download not only from the largest social networks and video hosting sites, but also from other sites where multimedia content is available. Contrary to its name, the add-on can download not only videos, but also music.
Unfortunately, for browsers based on the Chromium engine, this add-on is not as developed as for Firefox, and is in “beta” state. For this reason, many users complain that DownloadHelper does not download content from various sites that claim to be supported, such as YouTube. By default, the extension settings enable the option " Ignore YouTube", but even after turning it off, not everyone still downloads videos from this site. We can only hope that these misunderstandings will be corrected by the developers in the future.
Installing DownloadHelper
By default, VKontakte does not provide users with the ability to download audio and video files from their server, but almost every user has encountered this need, and where there is demand, there will be supply. That is why today we decided to talk about that, as well as the music. Today, there are many programs that allow you to easily access music and films contained on the Vkontakte website.
The main differences between the applications is their client, that is, one part requires downloading special program to your computer, from where you will access the files, the other part appears as a browser extension.
The choice is yours, but we will look at the advantages and disadvantages different ways operation of these applications.
Program for downloading videos and music from Vkontakte
The disadvantage of this approach is:
- The need to download an additional program;
- Requires more resources than expansion;
- You have to additionally log into the system through the program.
There are also advantages that are worth mentioning:
- More functionality than the extension;
- Ability to download files from a browser without using traffic VPN servers which you use;
- In the event that you often have to clear cookies in your browser, the program will always have access to Vkontakte.

From the very morning, when getting ready for work or school, we turn on our favorite composition, which will finally wake us up, invigorate us and give us a positive mood for the whole working day. We hear different melodies from everywhere. They come from taxis and minibuses, are heard in supermarkets and small shops, offices, and break through to us from open windows residential buildings.
How often, having heard an interesting musical composition, have you tried to find it on the Internet and download it to your device? The easiest way to do this is through the social network Vkontakte, especially since programmers have already created many interesting “tools” for this.

We very briefly looked at desktop and online tools, but we will dwell on browser extensions for downloading music on VK in more detail. This is due to the fact that the social network itself does not have the tools necessary to download audio files. Installing a special plugin in the browser solves this problem.
It is noteworthy that previously only users of browsers such as firefox or chrome could use this. Today even amateurs are no longer limited in this. Opera browser. Developers offer many modern browser add-ons that “download” media information to YouTube, Odnoklassniki, My World, etc. Let’s now take a closer look at which VKontakte music downloading plugins are in demand among network users today and in which browsers they work.

Quite often and blatantly, Firefox “corrects” the user’s wishes, which is very annoying. It is sometimes worth fighting with him for the right of supremacy. After clicking “Allow”, the plugin will still be installed and the browser will require a restart:
