How do i remove sponsored ads from yahoo mail

The pesky sponsored ads in Yahoo Mail! Removing them can be a bit of a challenge, but I've got some steps to help you out. Please note that these steps may not completely eliminate sponsored ads, but they should reduce their frequency and visibility.

Method 1: Disable Sponsored Ads in Yahoo Mail Settings

  1. Log in to your Yahoo Mail account.
  2. Click on the gear icon () in the top right corner of the page.
  3. Select "More settings" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "Advertising" section.
  5. Uncheck the box next to "Show sponsored content" or "Show ads from our partners."
  6. Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Method 2: Use a Browser Extension or Add-on

  1. Install a browser extension or add-on that blocks ads, such as:
    • uBlock Origin (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
    • AdBlock Plus (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
    • Ghostery (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
  2. Configure the extension to block ads on Yahoo Mail. You may need to add Yahoo Mail to the extension's list of allowed sites or configure the extension to block ads on specific domains.

Method 3: Use a Third-Party Email Client

  1. Consider using a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, or Apple Mail, which may not display sponsored ads.
  2. Set up your Yahoo Mail account in the third-party client, and you should no longer see sponsored ads.

Method 4: Clear Browser Cache and Cookies

  1. Clear your browser's cache and cookies to remove any stored data that may be contributing to the display of sponsored ads.
  2. Check your browser's settings to ensure that cookies are enabled for Yahoo Mail.

Method 5: Report Sponsored Ads

  1. If you still see sponsored ads after trying the above methods, you can report them to Yahoo Mail.
  2. Click on the three dots () next to the sponsored ad.
  3. Select "Report spam" or "Report as abuse."
  4. Follow the prompts to report the ad.

Remember that sponsored ads are a way for Yahoo Mail to generate revenue, so it's possible that they may still appear occasionally. However, by following these methods, you should be able to reduce their frequency and visibility.
