Get rid of the fixed header! it's HUGE and takes up so much space when I scroll
I want to read the content. Not the header. It's too big to be fixed to the top. It blocks too much of the articles.

Stop allowing pop-ups to block articles, pictures, or videos. It's rude !
Pop up ads should never block articles or pictures accompanying articles. It actually creates a negative reaction, and makes people resent the product being advertised. It is rude to pop up right in the middle of reading or watching something. Like butting in on a conversation. Impolite. Bad manners. Annoying. Please, cut it out !

New Tech page - tiles are too big, lack text summary
If you must use tiles apply some HTML5 smarts. Pulse.com at least has size options. The new flipboard web format combines graphics and text. But the real wave of the future is something like NYT Skimmer where the viewer selects the graphics/text mix and employs horizontal page "scrolling". It will be difficult to trust Yahoo Tech if it can't walk the walk.

Stop pop ups
Things I'd like to see excluded: No More
1) "sponsored" pseudoscientific articles from climate denial to fad diets.
2) sensationalistic headlines leading to one sentence articles.
3) pop ups
4) layers and layers of pages I need to click through with deceptive icons that lead to advertisements
5) Headlines that have nothing to do with content. Like "Huckabee clarifies remarks" leading to an article where he does precisely the opposite.

I know ads are revenue but too many ads result in dimimishing returns. Your pages are filled with a very annoyimg clutter of ads.
I realize ads means more revenue to yahoo, but too many means they get to be annoying and result in diminishing returns for the company that is paying for those ads. Between the popups and clutter of ads they overpower the articles. In addition the reader cannot comment on an article without registering for that particular source. You started this relatively recent. I do not wish to have my email address broadcast to several news sources. This results in more spam.

Annoying and congesting floating toolbar on yahoo pages.
Why is there no 'close' button? Hardly any of the content on the floating toolbar is useful and it takes up over 1/5th of the screen leaving a cramped feel when trying to read the news or mail or any other of yahoo's wonderful content. Get rid of the toolbar OR implement a close option to view the entire veiw of content on the page!! VERY ANNOYING

Replace the annoying tiles with a text list of headlines, organized by category.
Get rid of the useless, horrible tile interface!!! Replace it with a text list of headlines, organized by category. Minimize graphics. Make it very obvious which articles are videos (so I can avoid those and read only the text articles) Not a tiny play icon in the corner of a graphic. Better yet, have separate pages for text and video news.

I really don't like this new Tech page.
I really don't like this new Tech page. Nothing like having yahoo tech news page load really slowly because it's all one big long page full of photos. How about giving us the option of whether we want to use the older style or this new style. As it is right now, I can't even go to yahoo tech news because it's like 3 minutes just to load the page because of all the photos. You've killed yahoo the news for all of us that don't have the fastest internet or the newest computer. And I would upgrade both, but…

create an option on the toolbar to allow clients to delete all adds and popups
why not install an option for clients like a button or a feedback option to correct technical problems etc on toolbar.
