The VKontakte social network is loved by many for its functionality, simple interface and ease of use. But not all possible manipulations with this social network are implemented by the developers themselves. Using such a wonderful extension as Vkopt will help make using VK even more convenient.

Latest changes in the utility

Not much time has passed since we said goodbye to the already familiar VK design, therefore, after changing the site itself, there should be some changes in the extension. And they are. Transferring all the functionality takes a lot of time and effort, so users will not be able to get all the old functions at once, but the developers try to add new features for the new VKontakte design with each update.

The most important thing to note is that the scripts work well with the new design and there are no various problems, and new and old features of the utility will be introduced along with the next updates.

Installing Vkopt for Yandex. Browser

There are two ways to install the extension. This can be done by going to the official website, or using a special browser extension store. You can get acquainted with each of these methods if you suddenly have any problems with one of them.

Method 1. Download and install from the developer resource


After installation is complete, restart your browser and you can start working with the utility.

Method 2: Installation through the Google Chrome add-on store

Yes, Yandex. The browser supports installing extensions from the Opera add-on store, but, unfortunately, not all the necessary utilities are collected there, and Vkopt is no exception; it is not there. Therefore, you need to install through the Google Chrome add-on store.


Now you can restart your browser and enjoy the add-on.

Installation problems

This is rare, but does occur. This problem is related specifically to the installation of various add-ons for the Google Chrome, Yandex. Browser and others, which are written on the Chromium engine. The problem is that the extensions do not want to be installed, and they throw this kind of error:

There are several options to fix this problem, let's talk about each of them.

Option 1: "Crutch"

Everyone knows that this is not a complete solution to the problem, but a small solution that will help install just one add-on, but this solution is worth paying a little attention to.
To install the add-on, do the following:


Now the extension is installed and you can use it, but this is only a temporary solution and is suitable for those who no longer intend to install any add-ons or use this function very rarely.

Option 2: Complete solution to the problem

In order to finally solve the problem with installing add-ons, you need to perform several actions with system files:


After these steps, you can install all extensions, after which they will work correctly and there should be no problems with installation.

Vkopt settings and preparation for use

After installing the extension, you just need to restart your browser and go to your VK page, where you can check if the extension works. You can check this by clicking on the area where the main elements for managing your page are located.

Click on the button "Vkopt" to go to the window with the main settings of the utility. Settings available to you:

Photos

Managing photos has also become easier. You can download any image in different resolutions, which is sometimes a very useful feature. Now you can check a photo for uniqueness without using third-party services. Just click on "Search for copies".

Messages

Now you can save correspondence with your close friend. To do this, just go to the desired dialogue, click on the icon in the form of three dots, which is located near the avatar of the interlocutor. Then click "Save correspondence" and select the required format.

Removing advertisements

A certain part of advertising, even after being moderated, can cause rejection in some users or simply cause discomfort with its presence, so the Vkopt add-on can clear the left block of intrusive advertising.

Possible new features in future versions of the extension

Since Vkopt is still in the process of being transferred to the new VKontakte design, this means that many functions are being rewritten from scratch. Users can expect the following in future updates:

  1. Ability to leave all groups at once. This is quite convenient when you are in many groups, you need to leave them, but leaving each one takes too much time.
  2. Removing all posts from the wall. The same situation is with groups. This function will help you quickly remove all entries from the wall and at the same time save time.

Flaws:

Only one flaw was discovered, which will simply disappear over time. At the moment, the functionality of the utility is not complete, users do not see the functions that were there before, but this does not mean that this is a minus, since developers return old functions and create new ones with each update.
