Back button on Yahoo news
About a month or so ago a bug started happening on your news site. When i am looking through the news and click on an article then hit back instead of going back where you were as it used to do now it takes you back to the beginning. This means you have to search to get back to where you were before you clicked on an article. This is very annoying. I hope you will fix this bug soon. I may have to find a different site to get my news because this is so irritating!

Ads on homepage
Hi,
The Ads on the right side of the homepage autoplay. That is very cheap. Feels like a website from the 90s.
Please remove the autoplay sound.723rd ranked -
change the auto sound
Please remove the automatic volume from right side of your screen in advertising. Its a very bad idea to do that.
You will force me to find other news mail weather.723rd ranked -

Please restore source blocking
You used to have a feature that allowed the user to prevent (or at least reduce) the frequency of "articles" from specific sources to be included in the feed. It only takes one or two clicks on articles from sources like Athlon Sports and Fox News to realize that they're not serious news outlets and I will never click on another of their links. But I can no longer block them from my feed and they are growing in frequency. Soon, I may choose to just delete Yahoo from my browser altogether.

AI
Since AI is now in charge of the website some feed back: Once upon a time when I went to the article...it was there. No looking for it and when I clicked on it, it was there. Now it takes about 4 or 5 times to load, sometimes lagged in the middle of loading, sometimes goes blue, or fades. Sometimes if just disappears, or seems to flip and finally come back to the article.
I fail to see how taking a convoluted long time to get to an article is a plus... again that before this "AI" insanity voila, there…723rd ranked -
Remove heads from backsides
Under "tech News" there is a category that is called "Latest in streaming technology. BUT, it lists the latest movies and shows on streaming services. Shouldn't that be under "Entertainment"? Or is your AI (Artificial stupidity) program broken. Or is ti your fruitacakelanders that are stupid?

Stop insulting users' computer skills
Please do not ask users if they really want to logout. It is an insult to our intelligence and computer literacy as well as a waste of time.

Customize the Yahoo! homepage
Have an edit and rearrange function for users to customize the new Yahoo! homepage. Some of what Yahoo! decides to put on the Yahoo! homepage is not what I want to read. Also what sections I want to read are distributed all over the feed. Have a way to personalize the feed would allow me to use it more often

Daily Horoscope Error: Pisces/Gemini
In the bar at the top of my homepage, which includes a daily horoscope (along with sports highlights, today in history, AI chat, etc.), the symbols for Pisces (♓︎) and Gemini (♊︎) are incorrect / mixed up.
I am a Pisces, which is how I noticed the error, but I did not check if this was the case for other signs.
I understand this is probably low priority, but would love to see this fixed!

Eliminate deceptive ads
Remove all the pictures of futuristic sleek one/two person cars from ads that lead to the mundane offerings of the top ten automakers. Show me where I can get what is pictured in those ads, that dominate the homepage.

Allow for 2-Step Verification Opt-Out
Two-step verification is now required for users that routinely clear their history and cookies. For some users, such verification requirements are not warranted; an option to decline 2-step verification should be provided, even in the absence of cookies etc.
Also, there is no appropriate feedback category for sign-in, security and such-- that's why this suggestion is posted, somewhat arbitrarily, here.723rd ranked -
Ban GIFs & Private Mode
