User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's resizing capabilities for Yahoo Mail, offering a wider email view and sometimes less ads. However, many complain it forcibly changes their default search engine to Yahoo, which they find misleading. Additionally, the key 'Wider Mail' feature stopped working since late 2022, and ads continue to appear. Reliability issues and difficulty uninstalling further frustrate users, though Yahoo's customer support is noted as helpful. Overall, while the extension enhances mail view when functional, forced search engine change and reduced ad blocking are major drawbacks.
Pros
  • Extension expands or widens the Yahoo Mail view to provide a larger email reading area.
  • Some users find it effective in hiding or reducing advertisements in Yahoo Mail.
  • Provides an enhanced Yahoo Mail interface experience when active.
  • Customer service for Yahoo is reachable and responsive, assisting users with extension issues.
Cons
  • Extension forces Yahoo as the default search engine in Chrome, which users find misleading or undesirable.
  • The 'Wider Mail' feature stopped working around December 2022, leading to loss of advertised benefits.
  • Advertisements still appear despite installing the extension, reducing its effectiveness.
  • Users report issues with the extension not staying active consistently or abruptly stopping to work.
  • Some users find it difficult to uninstall or remove the extension once installed.
