    You really seem to like being as annoying and obtrusive as possible after forcing changes on people. And of course you NEVER Listen to suggestions no matter how many people say the same thing...so whatever. Annoy me until I completely stop using your services - no problem.

    AGREED! IT IS A REAL PITA!!!! BEING LEGALLY BLIND AND HAVING HAD A MINOR STROKE, IT IS ANNOYING AND TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME TO DISABLE IT. I USE YAHOO TO SEND OUT A WEEKLY BLOG POST. THIS ANNOYING POP UP SLOWS THE PROCESS. I LIKE THE OLD WAY OF USING YAHOO. THIS NEW **** SUCKS!!

  • Video Dude commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just let me read my email, any suggestions are a waste of my time. Also, hate the opt out of staying signed in. Let me sign in and sign out, opt outs are an old AOL way of making me stick around and makes my email less secure.

    The only thing I see interfering with my email is the pop-up asking me to whitelist yahoo.

  • Philip Dupree commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have gone with what Yahoo has asked and added the mail webpage to my whitelist. However, this has produced ads that have hijacked my browser and caused problems. Until Yahoo screens the ads more carefully, I am keeping them blocked!!

  • ROTINHELL COMMERCIALBASTARD commented  ·   ·  Report

    I get that you need to make money to keep offering services w/o directly charging those of us who are using your email client. But come on - a notification that pops up every time I open my email is a bit much.

    I've been receiving these whitelist notifications lately. Probably because I'm running AdBlock. I don't mind the ads. The only reason I'm running AdBlock is Yahoo Mail used to consume all of my memory. My browser would use about 200,000 when I first check my email, but then, as I stay logged into Yahoo Mail, it consumed more and more memory -- up to 3 or 4 GB of memory -- and I had none left. AdBlock stopped the memory consumption problem.

  • John Young commented  ·   ·  Report

    I concur with this suggestion. I am far more likely to relocate my mail address than disable my adblocker.

    Yahoo's choice to implement the adblocker warning feature prevents users from interacting with the page. Maybe we should choose to redirect our mail so we don't ever have to visit again.

    I love adblock - don't want to whitelist and get spam

    Yahoo asked me to "whitelist" yahoo mail to "improve my experience".

    I'd like to make it clear exactly why I won't do that: Yahoo's ads and scripts slow my browser down to a crawl and make it difficult to actually use the product. The memory leaks generated by yahoo mail 's ads are insane!

    I understand that a lot of "free" internet services depend on ads. That's fine. Just make sure the ads don't interfere with the function of the site! I installed an adblocker specifically because of Yahoo Mail's ads, and once I did so my memory leaks & browser issues disappeared.

    If Yahoo wants me to "whitelist" them, then the answer is simple: fix the ads and scripts.

    You have scripts on your mail page that hang constantly, so I have to close Yahoo every few minutes to even keep my browswer functioning, otherwise the hanging scripts make my whole browser completely unusable.

    This has been going on longer than I can recall, and I know it's your crummy software because when the speed of my browser goes from taking a 10th of a second to load a webpage to taking 50+ seconds(or it won't load ever until I hit CTRL/ALT/Delete first to pause/break it), all I have to do to fix the problem is close the open Yahoo window and boom > what a shock > my browser returns to it's regular speed.

    I've figured that out a long time ago, you have had scripts hanging for more than a year, is your team of ***** programmers not aware of it, or do you just not care enough to bother fixing it?

    You have been getting constant complaints about the same things seemingly forever, so you must be aware of all these problems. I'm beginning to wonder if it's less your lack of interest in fixing all the problems, but rather your lack of ability to fix the problems in the first place that is the real issue.

    When I scroll through the complaints on this page, the same stuff keeps coming up, over, and over, and over, and over again for years at a time. Does Yahoo staff even read this feedback, or is this just a way to make people that use your product feel like they have given some input?

    Every day, I get constant warnings that my location has changed and needs to be addressed > my house hasn't moved a $#$%$#$% inch since it was built(not even once), so surely you can figure out something as simple as location can't you? The cell phone companies figured it out a decade or two ago, maybe you should call them and ask them for some tips on how to get your software to actually function.

    Other than trying to find ways to shove even more ads down our throats, what exactly do Yahoo employees do all day? When I go to work, I'm expected to actually accomplish some work. What's your excuse for having the same issues that people have been complaining about year after year?

    How many years does it take to rewrite some faulty software so it actually works?

    You already can't display a whole email on your page for longer than a few seconds before the ads flip back to cover it back up(that's not annoying at all). At one point did that become appropriate?

    What's next? Are we going to be forced to start sending your advertising spam out with each of our emails? Or maybe you are planning on rolling out a $20/month user fee or something? Good luck with that...

    You should count your blessings anyone is still using this non-functioning dinosaur. It's bad enough that your software doesn't function properly, but when your hanging scripts make my browser unusable when Yahoo is open, THAT'S A DEAL BREAKER, NOW YOU'RE JUST INTENTIONALLY WASTING MY TIME.

    You let all OF our user information get stolen(then don't even bother to tell us until you were forced to), and then to add insult to injury, you allow the U.S. Government to illegally browse through all of our emails at their leisure.

    You will never be forgiven for exposing us like that, you are criminals in my mind, and you should have been kicked to the curb a long time ago, and some of your executives should be in jail where they belong. You have a lot of nerve providing such a terrible and unusable in the first place, but then in addition to allowing criminals access to our information seemingly with ease(and then try to cover it up), then you intentionally allow the Government of a country I don't even live in, to read through all my emails.

    You clearly still don't have any interest or concern about the people that use your product, only about how to exploit us even more.

    Are you going to start selling the contents of my business emails to my competitors next? Maybe read through all my emails(which you clearly already do) so you can more accurately throw ads in my face?

    Instead of more pop-ups blocking our path at every turn that demand our attention immediately(particularly ones that warn me that my present browser settings are not allowing me to be properly exploited with even more aggressive pop-up ads).

    So why don't you start from beginning and make a product that actually $#%#$% functions, and then you can worry about how to make using Yahoo as painful, irritating, and unusable as possible.

    Your whole Company is a joke, I'm embarrassed to still have a Yahoo email address(if I was smart I would have left when everyone else did), and you should be embarrassed to work for them.

    I'm not even angry, I gave up on you a long time ago, the only reason I'm writing this is because you forced this White list Pop-up BS in my face again(before I can even check my email), telling me to turn my scam ad settings back on, I chose this option instead.

    I could write a book on all the other issues you have, but I've wasted a half an h

    I'd be delighted to whitelist Yahoo Mail if Yahoo Mail made sure there weren't any moving ads on my Inbox.

  • tc clark commented  ·   ·  Report

    How funny your "warning" saying that my ad blocker is interfering with email features. hahaha What you mean to say is stupid, annoying, inappropriate ads. Tough. Yahoo went off the rails years ago. No wonder it tanked as a business. As long as I can run an ad blocker I will. If it ever interferes with actual email, I'll just dump it and open another gmail account.

  • Seamus MaccDuff commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agree 100%. Blocking ads is not "interfering with email". Ads are popping up along the banners anyway.

  • Horatiu Nicola commented  ·   ·  Report

    Nice try, Yahoo! Nice try. But you're never getting whitelisted.

  • Aric Aumann commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was directed here via a request to whitelist yahoo from Ad Blocking.

    I honestly do not mind some ads, and when I first installed AdBlockPlus, I had Yahoo whitelisted, since I do want you to make money somehow. However, the ads on yahoo mail are almost the full height of my browser, and often have distracting images or images that I consider inappropriate. The content is not always inappropriate (general internet ads for weight loss, exercise powders, etc.), but the images they use often are. There is the option to flag irrelevant ads, but it never seemed to help.

    I feel like I gave it a chance on the whitelist, but after a while (maybe a couple weeks or a month, I don't remember) I had to block the ads or stop using the web interface entirely. If you had a no-images ad option (like you-know-whoogle) then I probably wouldn't have blocked, but for now I see no reason to put the site back on the whitelist.
