This service creates the opportunity to independently select for yourself several main tabs that are visited most often in order to subsequently access them by clicking the mouse button. It is worth noting that in some cases the bookmarks bar is necessary for the convenience of opening not the most visited sites, if it is difficult to manually enter them in the address bar or search through search engines. Thus, it is up to the user to determine how best to use the tool.
What is she?
The bookmarks bar is a specialized browser application designed to make it easier to surf websites. After installing it, every time you open a new bookmark (click on the “+” button and the like), instead of a simple white sheet, a table opens with various sites so that, if necessary, you can simply click on one of them. The bookmarks bar is configured independently by the user, that is, he himself determines which sites will be present in this table.

How are they different?

Some panels provide the ability to save a backup when you record the layout of this panel on a specially designated server or your computer and can later restore it if necessary.
Since in the vast majority of cases the most common bookmark bars are those from the search engines themselves, another difference is which of them will be responsible for processing your quick queries.
Yandex and Mail.ru

The advantage of Yandex is that it allows you to post enough a large number of a wide variety of bookmarks and at the same time customize the panel format as you consider most convenient and comfortable (3x4, 5x3, etc.). Also mostly by herself search system Yandex works more efficiently compared to Mail.ru.
If we talk about what advantages the panel from Mail has, it is worth noting that it provides, in addition to the bookmarks themselves, a full package of services from this company, which for the most part are useful. In other words, you can immediately find out the weather, latest news, etc. here.
How to add?
If you don't yet know how to add a bookmark to the bookmarks bar, it's quite easy to do. The algorithm of actions may vary slightly, but in the vast majority of cases it is the same:
- click on an empty cell;
- enter the website address we are interested in;
