Yahoo likes to make you believe that you have to upgrade to get no more ads, but some time ago, when they had technical problems and accidently placed a script in the box on the YA pages instead of the flash ads normally displayed, I found out that adyield-manager is used to place personalized ads. Adyield manager uses cookies to track your browsing habits, so you may get a different ad displayed than somebody sitting right next to you. That prompted me to look for solutions since I don’t like to get spied upon, and I found several good solutions…

Download and install the latest Firefox browser:

Also install “adblock plus”:

Result: no more annoying ads! And pages are loading much quicker too…:-)
- this adblocker for the IE (and other browsers) gets highly recommended in several forums.
- for Safari Mac - another solution for Safari 4 Win and Mac.
