How to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks? Instructions, settings and recommendations

Since, along with the links in the "Selected" appeared easily recognizable thumbnails of web pages, many users no longer recognize any other options, except how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks.

Who taught the browser to create thumbnails of sites?

All "brodilki", like any other software, include only the most necessary, basic functions of web browsers, and additional opportunities are realized through add-ons (extensions, plug-ins), writing of which is available to everyone. The creators of browsers provide the necessary information for this.

So, one of these additions (extensions) are visual bookmarks and very convenient for navigating bookmarks in the form of small copies of sites, and now it's up to the little one - to figure out how to add bookmarks to your browser's visual bookmarks.

Unlike standard (in some browsers, "Favorites"), the visual bookmarks "live" is no longer on the user's hard drive, but on the site's server on the Web that provides storage services. Their advantage over conventional ones lies in the "independence" of the device used to access the Internet.

Visual thumbnails in the Mozilla browser

Despite the fact that Chrome browser is the leader in the ranking of web browsers, users who are worried about how to add a page to Mozilla's bookmark are much more than those who are interested in this add-on in Chrome.

You can access the page with extensions by clicking on the "Add-ons" line in the "Tools" menu or in the menu with the three bars on the top right, and by typing the combination Ctrl + Shift + A.

Here, on the "Get add-ons" page, you can click on the "Details" button (above), which will lead to the site addons.mozilla.org, where the "Extensions" menu has a link "Bookmarks". Crossing it, you can find a suitable version of the visual options, after scrolling 1369 extensions.

But in fact, in order to decide how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, just go to the "Extensions" page, type "Visual ..." in the search bar and select any of the several proposed extensions (Wishstorage, Tabsbook, Speed Start, etc.).

Despite the fact that by clicking on the "More Details" link to the right of the name of each extension, we learn all about the offered service, for example, consider one of them.

"Visual bookmarks online 1.081"

By clicking the "Install" button on the right, you will allow this add-on to download the onlinezakladki.ru service as a new tab , which can be used from the first click on the "Open new tab" without registering and authorizing.

Clicking on the gear button to the right of the search bar opens the tab settings, among which is the "Synchronization" section. Solving the problem of how to add bookmarks to visual bookmarks, we can choose the appropriate way to store them and perform import / export of bookmarks from / to the HTML file.

Service onlinezakladki.ru, having secured its presence with an icon with an asterisk on the right above, allows you to select up to 40 bookmarks (the button-gear to the right of the search bar) and provide access to them from anywhere in the world. It is only necessary to bring the cursor to the bookmark, as soon as the functions of its editing and deletion appear.

Editing operations include changing the master data (address, name) and setting the image, allowing you to use an individual picture.

Add a new page to the bookmarks panel by clicking on the cross in the center of the blank bookmark or by the star icon at the top right.

How to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome

By default, in Chrome, they are already installed, but only this picture-links the most recent pages visited by the user. And the new (last visited) page will appear in bookmarks only after the browser is restarted, and no keys or their combinations will help, including Ctrl + R (the "Reload" command in the context menu of the page).

Automatically displayed on a new tab, they are deprived of any settings, except by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner.

Such a miniature service, perhaps, does not suit those users who are interested in how to add visual bookmarks to Google Chrome. Therefore, we silently click on the three bars on the top right and select "Additional Tools> Extensions".

If there are no extensions in the opened window, we agree to the offer: "Do you want to view the gallery?", And if there is, then click on the "More extensions" link and get into the "Chrome Web Store".

Here, of course, you can endlessly scroll the page with countless applications, keeping your eyes on not to run away. But in order to just find out how to add visual bookmarks in Google Chrome, it's Sisyphean work.

As in the Mozilla browser, here too, you can simply type the phrase "visual ..." in the search for the store at the top right and "+ Set" (so the blue buttons on the right are signed) any of the several proposed extensions.

Among them are the already familiar service onlinezakladki.ru, Evorch, Atavi, Speed Dial and a number of other offers, the installation and configuration of which is simple and understandable to the user of any level, but for an example, let's see how to add a visual bookmark with 3D mode in Chrome.

Visual bookmarks FVD Speed Dial

Press the "+ Install" button, open a new tab and admire the beautiful and spectacular express panel of visual bookmarks with 3D mode and synchronization functions.

All the necessary sites are visible, and if there are so many that "the eyes are scattered", you can sort by groups, to create which you need to click on the cross at the top right, next to the groups set by default.

For each site, we can create your own thumbnail or use a collection of pictures from the gallery. For the express panel itself, you can also choose your own background if you do not like "regular" themes.

Convenient and simple synchronization (a round icon with catching each other arrows in the menu at the top right) will allow us to have the same selection of sites on different browsers, computers and other mobile devices.

But in order to use synchronization, we will have to agree to the offer to download the Eversync application from the Chrome Web Store, then the synchronization button will appear in the panel to the right at the top.

Clicking the specified button, we will see the offer to log into the EverSync account (if any) or create a new account. We'll have to agree to this, because, after figuring out how to add visual bookmarks in Google Chrome, we need to figure out how to synchronize them with other browsers and different mobile devices.

Synchronize standard links

After registering (authorization), we get to the menu of Eversync application with four tabs: Account, Speed Dial, Bookmarks and Backups.

Service Ever Sync can save and synchronize not only the FVD Speed Dial bookmarks, but also standard (favorites). We click on Bookmarks and deal with the window that opens.

Here we can enable / disable autosync, merge local and server information (the Merge button), replace the data on the server (the "Upload" button) and replace the local information (the "Download" button).

To transfer (copy) bookmarks to the server, you need to decide between the "Merge" or "Download" actions, selecting the second one if the synchronization is performed for the first time. Copied links you will find by clicking the "My EverHelperAccount" button.

Now copied to the "cloud" bookmarks can be transferred to any other browser or computer, if it has the EverSync extension installed.

Synchronizing links created in Speed Dial

To close the question, as in Google, add visual bookmarks with 3D mode, go back to the application menu and open the Speed Dial tab, where we will synchronize the bookmarks of this extension.

As in the previous case, press the "Download" button, confirm your choice (Ok) and after 10-40 seconds, making sure that "Synchronization was successful" (which will be reported by three green checkmarks), close the window.

Now Visual Bookmarks are ready for use on another computer or browser (if there is an installed application of Speed Dial).

Visual bookmarks in the "Yandex" browser

Users of Mozilla, Chrome, Opera and a number of other well-known reviewers who have Yandex installed on their home page will confirm with what perseverance and persistence Yandex offers to download its browser.

And these efforts have been crowned with success, because this browser is rapidly gaining popularity. Therefore, "snack" will find out how to add a visual bookmark in "Yandex".

One of the elements of "Yandex", the addition of "Visual bookmarks", is also popular among similar services. But if we try to install it into the browser, we get the following message: "The Yandex browser already has a display with visual ...". And, adding a new tab, we will see this.

And in order to "settle" on the scoreboard a new miniature site, you just need to click on the "baptized" inscription "Add", enter the site address or its name and add a signature.

In the context menu of each tab, you can unfasten it, delete it, change the site and adjust the scoreboard with the thumbnails in general.

Judging by the "demand" in RuNet, this function in "Yandex" suits most users. But here we can add a visual bookmark, just like in "Chrome", using any other service that we find in the add-ons catalog for "Yandex" in the "Additions" section of the "three-band" button menu on the top right.
