User Reviews

User sentiment is divided: many praise it for removing side ads and making Yahoo Mail more usable, with some calling it essential. However, a significant number report that the extension stops working after updates or becomes incompatible with new Yahoo/Firefox versions. Others note that enabling it can cause the email body to disappear, and that some ads stay visible or certain panels fail to hide. Maintenance and compatibility issues often overshadow the benefits.

Pros

Reduces ad clutter by hiding side panels, freeing screen space.
Improves Yahoo Mail usability and convenience; many users say it's essential.
Lightweight and non-intrusive; generally does not interfere with other Yahoo Mail features.

Cons

Frequent compatibility issues; often stops working after Yahoo/UI updates or Firefox version updates.
Enabling the extension can cause the email body to be blank, hindering reading.
Not all ads are hidden; some banners or panels remain visible (e.g., top banners, certain panels).
The extension is outdated or no longer works with current Yahoo/Firefox versions.
Partial coverage; only removes about two-thirds of the ad panel rather than the full panel.

The right side scroll bar difficult to use. I have enjoyed this extension for a long time. But now I see that the mail scroll bar and screen scroll bar are squished together making 2 thin scroll bars. Some of the time when I want to scroll email, I will touch the screen bar instead and the yahoo settings menu will pop out. I had to disable this useful app. My ad blocked space will just have to be there blank so I can have the 2 bars be separate. I guess I wish I could horizontally adjust the space between the 2 scroll bars.

This is a great addition to Yahoo Mail and makes it very convenient to use. The developer continually updates when necessary. Wouldn't consider using Yahoo without it. Highly recommended.
