## Description

BetterYahoo allows users to relive the classic Yahoo interface or personalize their current Basic UI with multiple enhancements. Key features include reverting to the old Yahoo UI (note: this may occasionally break), sorting emails by unread status by default, hiding advertisements for a cleaner view, and applying a dark theme for comfortable browsing. It also removes the need to scroll through the entire page and offers several quality-of-life improvements exclusively for the Basic UI.

The extension is open source and actively maintained, encouraging community support and contributions. Users can access settings easily by clicking the extension icon and customize their Yahoo Mail experience to their preference, making email management more efficient and visually appealing.
