Drop down menu "News Finance Sports More" falsely triggers on hover
Windows desktop Chrome, the drop down menu "News Finance Sports More" in upper right, falsely triggers on hover a dozen times an hour when i close one news story in my browser tab bar then pass over this spot. The passing over triggers a full page menu of yahoo "More" options that is a nuisance to escape. Delay on hover to two seconds, make it click required, or move it left and away from a mouse center screen to upper right browser bar and back to center screen motion.

fix that i'm being blocked automatically at logon.
when i logon i'm always blocked and can't find out why. i ask the open web folks for help to clear it but it may take an hour. i'd like this fixed. i never get any feedback so i can't make corrections or adjustments. it's happening in the yahoo news section and the yahoo main section as well. see if there's something that can be done to fix this. it's very frustrating.

Honor the browser settings - autoplay
I have Firefox set to NOT "autoplay audio and video", yet Yahoo News seems to ignore my browser settings.
I DO NOT WANT VIDEOS SUCKING UP MY DATA ALLOTMENT!
Why can't Yahoo honor my browser settings? If I want news videos, I will turn on my 65" TV. Why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen? I even have dual 24" monitors OVER dual 27" monitors on my PC... Again, why would I want to watch a video on my 6" phone screen?
Guess my only option is to boycott Yahoo News on my phone.483rd ranked -
I often see your articles state at the bottom 'What do you think? Let us know in the comments below'. But you don't have a comment section??
Fix your comments section, especially if you have articles stating 'Let us know in the comments'!

Have the initial news video actually related to the headline that is clicked on.

Annoying Video Popup
While scrolling down a news article, new in the past month you popup a video on the lower right. The video never plays right, freezes or refuses to play at all. The video player covers the text of the article I came to read, making it unreadable. If I close the video to read it, the video pops up again the moment I scroll down. I did not come to Yahoo News to watch videos, but I will leave as a result of them.

The news articles that you've selected are clearly from biased sources. I'll check occasionally to see if you've corrected this.

Can no longer reply to replies
Can no longer reply to someone's else reply; it has an option to sign in even though I am. Any attempt to sign in simply reloads the page. This just started happening today.

video popup lower right corner
The news video popup in the lower right corner does not stay closed. It reopens with each new scroll down. No means no! Closed means stay closed. Reopening is harassment. This is important because on a zoomed browser screen, to 125%, your video blocks the text content overlaying it. Desktop, windows, brave browser.

Ad can’t be closed makes story unreadable
The last 5 days, every single story I open is immediately covered by a massive Amazon ad that you cannot close and makes the stories completely unreadable. I’m having to go to other news sites to read news and you’ve been my favorite platform for years. Please fix it so I can keep reading.

Yahoo; Please label teaser ads for "subscription required" sites
Yahoo; Please label teaser ads for "subscription required" so that I do not waste time hitting them (I think you used to do this). Better yet, do not display ANY "subscription required" sites in my news! In the same vein, where did the three dots for "show less of this site" go? I took. Yahoo Plus to get rid of ads, it should include these options.
