The “More” tab

Performance, language, diagnostics, backups, and project links.

Quick access to any feature

Inside the extension press Ctrl / Cmd + K and start typing a name — search opens the feature and highlights it. The section anchors on this page match the extension’s features.

Performance Dashboard

Shows in real time how VKify affects the page, popup, and background process.

How it works

Metrics refresh every second: page/popup/worker memory, initialization time, heavy features, API calls, style and script size, and observer subscriptions.
Charts cover page load, API calls per minute, DOM mutations, and subscriptions. Page heap is Chromium-only.
The registry groups features by impact and category and shows initialization order, dependencies, and DOM-layer use.
A mini widget can display FPS, active features, API, and heap over vk.ru; its position can be reset.
Reset heavy disables active heavy features. Export saves a JSON report for diagnostics or support.
Page metrics require an open VK tab; without one, only popup and background-process data are available.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Performance Dashboard”, or “More” → “Performance”.

Interface language

Switches the popup between Russian and English.

How it works

The choice applies immediately without reloading the extension. It changes VKify only, not VK’s own language.

Quick access. “More” → “Language”.

API method and diagnostics

Shows how VKify reaches the VK API and helps identify why a feature is unavailable.

How it works

Native API uses an open VK tab without a separate token; Token API sends requests with an access token.
If the API is unavailable, open vk.ru and refresh the status. Friends, dialogs, and tracking features may otherwise be limited.
Extension Diagnostics opens a technical summary suitable for attaching to a bug report.

Quick access. “More” → “API method”.

Data management

Creates a settings backup, restores one, or returns the extension to its initial state.

How it works

Export downloads a JSON file with settings and local data supported by the current version.
Import accepts a VKify JSON file, validates it, and applies the values. Review privacy, hotkeys, and automation afterward because they may differ between devices.
Reset all restores defaults and asks for confirmation. It is irreversible, so export first.

Quick access. Ctrl/Cmd + K → “Export settings”, “Import settings”, or “Reset settings”.

Links and support

Quick access to the official site, communities, source code, and ways to support the project.

How it works

Links open in a new tab. For bugs, use GitHub Issues and attach a Performance Dashboard export or diagnostics summary when relevant.

Quick access. The bottom block of the “More” tab.

Telegram notifications

One bot for new VK messages and selected tracking events.

How it works

Create a bot through BotFather and start a conversation with it. Enter Bot Token and Chat ID in More, enable delivery and send a test. Bot credentials are configured only here; the token is excluded from settings exports.
New VK messages has its own switch. The shortcut switch in Center → Messenger controls the same setting; a bot-setup link appears when the connection is inactive.
Configure message previews, group conversations and respect for muted VK dialogs separately. Without previews, Telegram receives the name and a dialog link.
New incoming messages are checked once per minute while the desktop browser is running. The VK tab may be closed; reopen VK when its token expires. This is not an independent service running on your phone.
Forwarding starts with new messages after activation and never marks them as read. Changing the account, recipient or options restarts the baseline.
Three independent switches control message activity, online monitoring and profile tracking events. Choose sources and users in Tracking; enabling delivery does not enable monitoring itself.

Quick access. More → Telegram notifications.

Extension interface

Compact navigation, feature search and page appearance.

How it works

The main menu opens sections; Ctrl/Cmd+K searches features and navigates directly to a setting. Documentation buttons open the relevant guide.
The sidebar starts collapsed; expand it or configure it in More. Open settings from the extension icon, the VKify entry in VK’s menu, or vk.ru/vkify_settings.
Disable header illustrations in More. Illustrations follow the theme and accent; the interface respects system reduced-motion preferences.
Center separates VK API account tools from page tools. API pages explain loading, coverage and data refresh.

Quick access. More and the extension’s main menu.
