1. VK Blue

VK Blue adds an equalizer to the VKontakte player with presets for different musical genres. The plugin automatically applies the optimal settings to different compositions, and when it cannot determine the genre, it sets the default parameters.

In addition, the extension displays lyrics and artist biographies. And if you are suddenly registered with the Last. FM service, which analyzes users' musical preferences, you can turn on the scrobbling function in VK Blue. Then the plugin will tell Last. FM what kind of music you listen to on VKontakte.

2. Tool 42

Multifunctional extension that can save you from a lot of routine actions. Tool 42 allows you to quickly remove posts from the wall, clean up your friends list, and unsubscribe from unwanted communities.

3. VkOpt

After installing VkOpt, a section with additional options appears in the VKontakte settings. Most of them change the appearance of buttons and other interface elements. You can also enable display of age and zodiac signs on user pages. In addition, VkOpt can hide the block with stories.

4. VK Flex

This application is useful primarily because it allows you to download videos from the VKontakte website. To download, just click on one of the buttons to the right of the running video. Each of them saves the video file in the quality specified on it.
