January 10, 2010I’ve switched back to the old format because I **** having 1/4 of my screen space blocked with advertising that is totally distracting with no option to remove it. I’m ready to move to Outlook Mail if this is the way Yahoo is going to foist advertising on me. I should have a choice here, and it seems I don’t.

I was so annoyed by Yahoo ads I spent three days trying to disable them. Nothing worked for Internet Explorer (IE) or the AT&T Yahoo browser whose functionality relies on IE, until I downloaded I.E. 7 Pro add-on, which blocked the ads for Internet Explorer. To select the Ad Blocker settings, click on the I.E. Pro icon, which appears on your I.E. Toolbar.
Finally, I switched to Modzilla Firefox and set my home page to which allowed me to acess my AT%T Yahoo mail. I tried the Modzilla add-on, AdBlockPlus, but it disabled some content on my home page, so I deleted it!
For ads I selected in Modzilla Firefox, I right-clicked on the ad and chose the block option, which whited out the ad. If I wanted to see it (although I can’t imagine why!), I right-clicked again, chose ’select all’ and
clicked on the blue box, which appeared in the upper-left corner. If it didn’t take me to the web site, I chose ‘open link in a new window’.
You can also disable ‘external site images’ and ‘all images’ in Firefox, depending on your preferences.
I’m still working on the AT&T Yahoo browser!
Cheers!
