Visual bookmarks can be installed in all the most popular browsers today. This is a very useful and useful addition for the browser. They are saved in case of reinstallation. operating system, they can be synced across browsers. All this makes bookmarks convenient and practical for those who like to travel on the Internet.
Working with bookmarks allows you to significantly save time when switching from one page to another. If you like the site, you bookmark it. Then you can return after a while. Gradually, a lot of such bookmarks accumulate, and it is difficult to remember which site was saved a month ago. Bookmark bars are not very helpful as they take up space in the browser. Visual bookmarks, unlike text ones, are more informative - they are small snapshots of sites. They can be sorted, placed in groups by topic. The very first browser to use bookmarks was Opera. They were named Speed Dial. Users liked them so much that they began to be introduced into other browsers. To bring up the bookmark bar in Google Chrom and Opera, just click on the "+" sign at the end of the tab bar, and the express bar will appear. You don't have to install add-ons or make settings. Bookmarks can be deleted, moved, added. In the latest versions, many users of the favorite browser Google Chrom have bookmarks themselves "remember" visited sites. It is not always convenient and not everyone likes it. Therefore, it is better to install the Speed Dial add-on to manage your bookmarks. To do this, type in the address bar https://chrome.google.com/webstore, enter the add-on name "Speed Dial" in the search bar, press "Enter". Then select it in the list that opens, click the blue "Install (Free)" button. Confirm the action - "Add". After the installation is complete, click the add new tab button after the most recent one. A window with twelve blank tabs will open. Select the first one, enter the address of the desired site and its name, save the result. So edit as many visual bookmarks as needed. In the Speed Dial 2 version there is an opportunity to bookmark the site logo by choosing it from the standard ones or to set your own. A beautiful logo can be found. Unlike Google Chrom and Opera, Firefox doesn't have built-in visual bookmarks yet. Therefore, you need to install the add-on. The most neutral option is also Speed Dial. Download the add-on from the link addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/speed-dial/. The page will load and click "+ Add to Firefox". The volume of the add-on is small, it will be installed quickly. Confirm the installation by clicking the Download Now button. Restart Firefox. In the initial setup window, check the boxes where necessary. Edit blank bookmarks as described for Google Chrom. In addition to bookmarks from Yandex, you can create convenient visual bookmarks using the Motix service. The service has many advantages: an unlimited number of bookmarks, they can be opened on any computer, just type motix.ru in the address bar, enter your username and password. Bookmarks are sorted by the user into categories to bring complete order on the computer.Constantly confused in bookmarks in search of the desired web resource?
