User reviews

This Chrome extension initially provided effective ad blocking on Yahoo Mail, enhancing the inbox view by removing inline and side ads and sometimes video ads. However, multiple users report that it has stopped working as of mid-2023, with no recent updates to maintain compatibility. While easy to use and beneficial when functional, users face consistent failures now, with ads persisting and the extension becoming essentially useless. Overall, its usefulness has diminished due to lack of maintenance and evolving ad delivery in Yahoo Mail.

Pros

Effectively blocks most inline ads within the Yahoo Mail inbox when it works.
Enhances inbox view by expanding email list and removing distracting ad panels on the right side.
Blocks video ads in some cases, improving user experience on Yahoo Mail.
Simple to use and set up, no complex configurations needed.
Provides a more pleasant and cleaner email interface by eliminating unwanted ad interruptions.

Cons

The extension has largely stopped working as of mid-2023, failing to block ads anymore.
No recent updates or maintenance efforts by the developers to adapt to changes in Yahoo Mail or browser updates.
Does not consistently block or collapse all types of ads, like side ads or video ads in certain folders.
Users report that ads continue to appear despite the extension being active, leading to frustration and uninstallation.
Requires pausing or disabling other ad blockers to work properly in some cases.
