Some software developers consider themselves too smart and try to make decisions for the user. One of the manifestations of such "care" is the installation of some incomprehensible plugins and add-ons in browsers. Moreover, such add-ons often cannot be removed by the standard browser tools, but can only be disabled. Now I will teach you how to get rid of such "Danish gifts" using my example - the SmartPrintButton extension, which is forced by the HP LaserJet Pro installer during installation. As you can see in the screenshot, the "Delete" button is really inactive.
Run the registry editor (Start - Run - regedit) and open the registry branch in it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \\ SOFTWARE \\ Mozilla \\ Firefox \\ extensions
The parameter immediately catches the eye there [email protected] , uniquely related to Hewlett-Packard in terms of extension and meaning. We delete it. The system will warn you about possible problems, but in this case it is a false alarm. Delete and do not hesitate.
After restarting the browser, the hated add-on disappeared from the list, and no more manifestations of it are observed in the browser. In the same way, all other add-ons from Firefox that cannot be removed by standard browser tools are removed.
One of the most popular download managers today, especially in the post-Soviet space, is free and RussianDownload Master ... But there is a problem: during installation, the program integrates into all popular web browsers by default, intercepting downloads, which is not liked by all users. In this post I will tell you how quickly and painlessly for the system to get rid of such an annoying and one-sided "friendship" with your browser, as well as how to disable subscription to news from the Russian file portal TopDownloads in the downloader and prevent information about your downloads from being sent to their server.
The npdm.dll plugin is responsible for the integration into browsers, which is "cloned" into all the listed browsers. Of course, by searching in the system, you can find and delete all these files, but there is an equally effective, but with the ability to "rollback", way to disable the integration. To do this, by clicking on the "Tools" item in the top menu bar, go to "Settings" Download Master\u003e then "General"\u003e in the "Integration" window, uncheck unnecessary items\u003e click "Apply".
To completely get rid of the "tutelage" on the part of developers, which I spoke about in the very first paragraph, I recommend opening the "Other" settings\u003e in the "TopDownloads Settings" window, check the box next to "Disable sending information about links to the service" Receive news about popular files "\u003e final" OK ". For browsers Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Yandex. Browser, these are all manipulations.
Users of functional Mozilla Firefox also recommend not to be too lazy to open the "Add-ons Management" browser tab (via "Tools" in the menu bar\u003e "Add-ons") and "Disable" four "add-ons" from the hero of this publication: "Download Master Media Monitor", Download Master Plugin "," Download Master Remote Download "and" Download Master Toolbar "After restarting Firefox, all changes will take effect.
Now, in your favorite browser, no one will track and intercept download links, and if Download Master is removed from the startup of Windows programs and services, open the web page of the manager's developers every time.
If you still want to add the "Download Wizard" integration to any browser, follow the familiar path, ie. in the "Integration" window, put a tick in front of the desired item, and on the "Add-ons Management" tab of Mozilla Firefox - turn on the four voiced add-ons.

Important!
Reviews do not keep up with the monitored ones. a freshly installed "Master" now knows how to be friends with, so, by analogy, any user of this browser can remove (add) the integration if desired Download Master in Yandex browser.
