  1. Don't advertise virus infected ads

    My Yahoo mail is showing an Ad indicating it is coming from McAfee.com that says "Payment has failed". It is an obvious scam intending to infect my computer. Use AI to come up with better software to prevent obvious scams from coming into a users InBox.

  2. Remove annoying ads

    The ads are suddenly flashing and playing videos using a lot of data and being a huge distraction. Its making the email page unusable. I'm seriously considering just getting rid of yahoo email because of it. I don't mind static ads, but video of flashing ads are just incredibly frustrating to deal with. I'm not checking my email to watch ads or be distracted by them. I've been using this for years and it really stinks that I might have to xfer over to another email address now because of this recent cash grab by yahoo which is making the…

  3. Check ads for validity

    There was an electric bike ad that went to something that looked like a computer virus laden page. Not certain how this gets sent through without being vetted by anyone at all.

  6. Ads steal cursor away from what I was doing

    I am using Windows 10, 148.0.7778.168 (Official Build) (64-bit). As of 5/13/2026, anytime the right side ad banner rotates to a new ad, it takes my cursor from any other part of the window it was in. This is especially frustrating when I am writing, and every 40-70 seconds, my cursor is moved to the right side, and my up/down arrow keys show it was hijacked by the refreshed ad. My browser has no extensions or ad blockers. I sometimes use other browsers that do have ad blockers, but it seems functionality is an ongoing problem for me in Yahoo…

  7. Create an option to not see certain ads

    Some of the ads I'm seeing are really offensive. I would like to have the option to report them or not see them anymore.

  9. Please keep Yahoo Mail safe

    Please block ads that direct users to scam websites. I have received several ads with the title "3 New Messages". When I click on them a popup appears that indicates my device will be locked unless I pay.

  10. Having a headache deleting advertising emails. Thinking about abandoning the use of yahoo. The harsh is unreasonable. Waste too much time

    Now I pay for storage, we should not receive so many advertisement. Is there a way to get rid of them, or is that Yahoo sells my email?

  11. Type of Ads in my email

    Please stop putting these dating sites within my email. They show up several times while reading my email and there is no place for me to unsubscribe or block them out. Stop forcing these sites on me. They are disgusting and I did not sign up for this. I do understand I will get ads. However, your ads are out of control when you keep posting them inside my emails.

  13. Inappropriate ads on Yahoo Mail

    I am facing an issue where inappropriate and uncomfortable ads are being displayed on Yahoo Mail. While I understand ads are part of the free service, the current ads are not suitable for a family environment. Other email providers like Gmail and Outlook also show ads but they are not inappropriate like Yahoo. Kindly improve ad filtering and provide better control over ad content.
