Perhaps I'm too accustomed to the 'manual approach,' i.e. the 'average' web page in terms of (a) their elegance & simplicity, and (b) the usefulness of their incidental / extraneous content. I think it has something to do with a perceived disparity between GMail's pages vs. It's a pretty recent thing, and it's only in GMail. It is bizarre, and I'm a bit baffled and academically curious to explain it myself. They've never pulled any shenanigans on me. Bad, bad publicity and a quick erosion of trust for very little gain. People would scream bloody murder if their email- their online identity- was terminated. That's presumably worth something- very possibly more than the ads you're blocking (especially as the type of customer who blocks ads is not likely to click on them).Дў. Attached to every mail you send from Yahoo is an advertisement for Yahoo Mail. That's not true that adblockers are complete freeloaders on the Yahoo network. If you don't like the business model, pay for your webmail.ДЎ.

By blocking it, you become a free loader, absolutely useless for them as a customer. You are using a free service in exchange of which they are putting a bunch of advertisement on your screen. If I had a website relying on ads and a reliable way to do it, I'd terminate accounts of people with an ad blocker right off the bat.

You will get many more clicks from us, that's for sure. As for the rest of us, if you want to win us over, use text ads only. The sheep will always be there to provide you with advertising revenue. Oh, here's a word for those of you who are moaning about unethical users blocking ads: some of us are truly incapable of tuning out obnoxious banners and flash animations. Yahoo are not innovating they are riding the pure inertia of their 1996 early start.

GMail has text ads only.Дon't even get me started on GMail vs. You have to pay $20/yr to rid yourself of them. Graphical and flash ads are plentiful in Yahoo mail.You get 1GB of space, and have to pay $20/yr for 2.You still have to pay $20/yr for POP access.Huh? Isn't date filtering the most obvious filtering you can do? Turns out you have to pay $20/yr for their 'best' Spam filter. Messages dated to the year 2038 appear in my Inbox rather than getting filtered to Bulk Mail.Here's a few reasons why noone should use Yahoo as their mail system: Not that I visit their site that often anymore-GMail is my default mail account now. Guess what, five years later I'm still blocking all their ads. Back then I figured it'd only be a few months till they figure it out and then they will somehow block the blocking. And that was with phenomenal success-I blocked all incoming ads with about 15 minutes worth of detective work. I started using adblock on Yahoo (with my own rules) as soon as it came out (was it around 2002?). I can bear text ads but I cannot stand graphical ones. Sarcasm well taken, but it seriously is amazing how little Yahoo has bothered to evolve since, oh, about 1999. Instead of working around the workaround, why not consider another service that doesn't inundate you with ads?

It was only a matter of time before someone thought to try and work around ad-blockers, and all this will eventually lead to is open warfare (competing Javascript or browser code in the browser) on your machine.

Is there a cure for this?' This is a touch-and-go issue as it basically boils down to the user's priority (not seeing ads) versus the services priority (displaying the ads it needs to allow the user to enjoy a free service).

Turning off Adblock solves the freezing problem. The script must be on client side, since it's the browser that's freezing and not the network.

Here is the problem: when Adblock is running and effectively stopping Yahoo mail ads, Firefox would freeze (all open windows and tabs) for about 15 seconds. This is no big problem, I just needed to add several rules to Adblock to block the several ad sources they use. This happened for several times, until I figured out that Yahoo must have some script that checks if the ad is displayed and displays another one, if it hasn't. I've blocked the ads that Yahoo puts in my inbox, however the next time I opened it, I've found other ads, and blocked them too. EgNuKe asks: 'Like some people here, I use Firefox and Adblock.
