VKontakte is not only a tool for communication, but also a convenient audio player. Here you can make selections from a variety of musical compositions that are played online. However, if there is no Internet, but you want to listen to your favorite songs? In this case, you need to first download music from a social network.
From the add-on store you can install an extension for Yandex Browser, which downloads VKontakte music. Let's take a closer look at some popular plugins.
SaveFrom
This extension is for downloading not only music, but also videos. In addition, the add-on allows you to download content from other sites. Another plus is that it is suitable for all popular operating systems and browsers.
The extension should be downloaded from the official resource at: http://ru.savefrom.net.
1.Click on “Install”. You will not need to select Yandex Browser from the list, since the system itself determines the type of browser.
2.Launch the icon and follow the instructions of the simple installer.
3.After installation, restart the browser and go to your audio recordings on VK.
How to download music using this add-on? When you hover your mouse over a composition, a series of icons will appear. There will be a down arrow in it. If you click on it, the song will be downloaded to the “Downloads” folder or another, if you changed the download folder in the browser settings earlier.
This is a simple add-on with little functionality. Suitable for those who set out to download only music from VKontakte in Yandex Browser. Also suitable for other browsers, such as Google Chrome.
1.Go to: https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/kenzo-vk-2/?display=ru.
2.Click on the green “Add to Yandex Browser” button.
3.Confirm installation. After its successful completion, restart the VK page. The program is ready to use. No settings needed.
4.To the right of the Play button for each audio recording there is a bitrate key. If you hover over it, an arrow icon will appear. The file size will also be shown. Press the key.
5.Select in which folder you will store music from Contact. Click on “Save”.
You will see the download progress in the button itself.
What else can this compact plugin do? For example, hiding intrusive advertising, which is important at the moment, since all sites are literally overflowing with it.
VKOpt
Due to dramatic changes in the VK interface, the developers had to start creating a completely new script. There are now fewer settings in this extension. The plugin is downloaded for free mainly from the official resource.
1. Go to the download page: http://vkopt.net/download/.
2. The system immediately provides the required version. VKOpt for Chromium, apparently, is also suitable for Yandex Browser. Click on the “Install” button. We confirm that we want to install the add-on for VKontakte.
3.Test the add-on to work. When you reload the VK page, a window will open with a notification about the installation of the extension and other information that you need to take note of.
We configure the add-on through a window that can be opened by clicking on the VKontakte profile menu.
The program performs many more functions besides downloading music. Here we will only consider how to work with audio materials. When you hover over a song, an arrow icon with an underline will appear on the right. Click on it to have the program download the song to the pre-specified folder.
You can enable the option to show the bitrate and size of audio recordings. Instead of the usual icons, there will be information included, and when you hover the cursor, icons will appear.
MusicSig VKontakte is an extension for downloading music from a social network, and nothing more. Other features are also offered in the form of ad blocking, bypassing warnings when clicking on an external link, displaying zodiac signs in user profiles, notifications about new events in the profile and other little things. The program supports three languages (English, Russian and Ukrainian).
For Yandex Browser and Opera, the extension is available at the link: https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/musicsig-vkontakte/?display=ru.
In the audio section, a download icon will appear next to each song. To download a song, you need to click on this icon.
VK-Download
A simple music download tool that doesn't offer any other options. You can download it from the extension store: https://addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/vk-download/.
After installing it, a download arrow will appear in the audio recording line.
To download VKontakte music via Yandex Browser, many extensions are suitable, which also work well on other browsers. The most popular of them: SaveFrom, Kenzo VK and VKOpt. The first and third options are designed for people who expect some additional functions from the extension. Kenzo is a version only for downloading audio, nothing more, although the developers also offer a bonus in the form of blocking annoying ads.
Here is a small selection of add-ons for the Google Chrome browser that expand the functionality of the VK.com website. From this browser there sits more 50 percent users. The average young Russian spends 2-3 hours a day there. This article will help reduce this time and make it a little more interesting and fun.
1. VKStater. Find out more about the people who liked the post
After installation, click on the add-on icon in the upper right corner, copy the link to the post that interests us (it is hidden behind the gray timestamp) and paste it into the form. After this, we get statistical information about gender, age, place of residence and favorite public pages of people who liked it.
Chrome Store Page
2. Vkontakte Stats. Who do you text with the most?
This extension counts how many messages you have received and from whom, and how many you have sent and to whom. Including the number of letters. For those who actively use VK, let me remind you that in all volumes of the novel “War and Peace” there are 2,966,547 characters.
3. VKontakte informer. Find out about unread messages without going to the site
Sometimes it happens that you go to the website to see if a message has arrived, and there is an interesting post in the news feed, followed by another one... And half an hour has disappeared. This extension will help you not miss messages and protect you from falling into a time hole.
Chrome Store Page
4. Message templates. We reduce the time spent on correspondence
Templates can be used to store birthday greetings, answers to customer questions, couples' schedules, contact information and other text that you often need to send to VK. The add-on allows you to use the variables (user) and (text). The latter designates the place where the cursor is placed when inserting a template.
5. VKMenu. Adding links to the left menu
And this extension will be useful for those who use VK.com as their home page. Links to your favorite sites can be embedded in the program menu. You can also post people and public pages that interest you.
6. Clean News for VK.com. No trash in the feed!
You can hide posts based on a variety of criteria: reposts containing links to external sites/groups/Instagram, etc. You can even remove all posts from people, leaving space only for thematic communities that are interesting to you (this setting is shown in the picture).
7. VKD. Download music, videos and photos
There are a lot of add-ons for downloading content from VK. This is one of the most highly rated by users.
8. VKFeedKiller. Stop wasting time!
Every minute you scroll the feed, this extension hides it, solemnly notifies you of a wasted minute of personal time and makes you wonder whether it’s worth continuing to do this.
Chrome Store Page
9. VK Comment Blocker. Save time and psyche from shit in the comments
You scroll, scroll, scroll through your feed... And then bang! Vasya writes in a comment to the post that Android is better than iOS, and Kolya agrees with him. How can you pass by? And again half an hour disappeared... If this problem is familiar to you, then it is better to hide the display of comments in the feed.
10. Orbitum Themes. Changing the page design
This extension contains thousands of luxurious page design options. Surely you will find among them something that resonates with your soul more than the standard design.
The add-ons above are just a small part of what the Chrome Store offers for VK users. There are many offers and what not among them! There is even an addon that displays a “Nichoshi!” picture after each like.
The things listed in the article have many analogues, and some extensions can even do several things at once (for example, VkOpt).
To bookmarks
The Chrome browser web store contains a huge number of extensions that complement the functionality of the browser. These include online translators, games, todo lists, and even fb2 readers. TJournal has collected the best extensions that add functionality to the VKontakte social network.
VK Spoilers
The VK Spoilers extension by former VKontakte developer Denis Olshin allows you to hide from your news feed posts containing “spoilers” - certain words and phrases. After installing the extension, an icon is added to the address bar, which, when clicked, opens a customizable list of rules. In the “templates”, variants of words are entered, separated by commas, entries containing which will be simply hidden or deleted completely, at the user’s choice. You can also display, hide or delete comments on an already hidden post.
Two additional features of this extension are the ability to write templates using regular expressions and a “special” rule that allows you to hide any reposts from the feed, leaving only user content.
VK Webcam
Another extension from Denis is VK Webcam. It adds a “Snapshot” item to the drop-down list for attaching media objects that appears when creating a post on a wall or in dialogues. Using this line, you can conveniently take and send photos from your webcam. Among the options is the ability to take a photo instantly or with a delay of 3 seconds.
VK Notes
Olshin also wrote an extension that shows a large and comprehensively informative tooltip instead of the usual one with a meager set of information about the user. VK Notes also has the function of adding your own “notes”. You can mark that such and such a user is, for example, an asshole and a troll, and never fall for his provocations again.
VK.Suggests
Once installed, the VK.Suggests extension notifies community administrators about the appearance of new “suggested news” via Chrome alerts. Everything is simple here - the user installs the add-on and specifies the communities that the extension will “monitor”. But, unfortunately, you cannot select more than five communities.
VK Spy
VK Spy is a “spy” extension from Ivan Gusev and Evgeny Zinoviev, Happy Santa LLC. This extension, according to the authors, “invisibly monitors the activity of your friends and other VKontakte users.” The application can find out who wrote a message to the user and when, but was too embarrassed to send it.
In the settings you can enable Chrome notifications and exclude conference analysis. Among the nice additions are the ability to see what time a certain user was online, and the ability of the extension to work in the background. The unpleasant thing is that it may not “track” the user who wrote to you if the message was typed in a box on the page, and not in dialogues.
VK Crazy Typing
In the description of the VK Spy extension in the Chrome online store, the developers wrote that it was developed in protest of the accepted norm about the sinfulness of curiosity and that “it is a sin to want an answer.” And in the description of their own extension VK Crazy Typing, they already write that they decided to switch to other sins and “turn their attention to vanity and anger.”
We have long noticed that people are extremely annoyed by a bug in the VK application for iPad, when a person constantly looks like he is writing something into the dialogue, but in fact he does not. Well. Meet VK Crazy Typing! The app pretends non-stop that you are writing in hundreds of your conversations. You write and write and don’t send anything. Congratulations to your friends for ending up in HELL without an answer. Why are we so angry? Because we can. Happy Santa LLC.
The extension is also good because it does not require a running browser to work.
EmojiPlus
The EmojiPlus extension is sleek and simple. It adds a convenient button, like in dialogs, that allows you to put emoji smiles in all text fields of the site.
Publish on VKontakte
From the name of the extension “Publish on VKontakte” you can easily guess what its purpose is. But the extension, in addition to publishing the site you are viewing when you click on a button in the context menu, has a useful bonus: it allows you to see the number of publications of this page on VKontakte in the browser extensions panel without distraction.
P.S.
Denis Olshin, as an active creator of extensions for VKontakte, told TJournal about his hobby:
I like the feeling of doing something useful - both to myself and to other people. I only spent one or two evenings, but the result was some cool stuff that would be of interest to many. In general, you can say so - I make the world a little better.
Receiving gratitude and earning a good reputation is also nice, what’s there to hide? Well, and finally, it also helps me “keep in shape”: practice development skills, discover some new details in this. Denis Olshin, developer

We asked Denis if any problems arise during the development and support process, for example, due to the appearance of new functions on the site.
They do occur, but not very often. From the very beginning, I try to write extensions in such a way that they can be affected as little as possible by further updates (unless VK developers start deliberately harming extensions, of course). When breakdowns happen, as soon as I get around to it, I roll out new versions.
For example, the VK Silent Typing extension, which allows you to view messages without marking them as read, had to be slightly modified - but what’s worse is that it is now visually more difficult to understand that new messages remained unread for the interlocutor (previously they were highlighted, but now there is a strip above them all the time "New messages"). This is confusing: users think that the extension is broken, although it works fine. Denis Olshin, developer
