Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This add-on hides some of the ads on Yahoo Mail, as well as hiding the gray banner at the top of the page, to make the site work better for smaller screens.

Ads hidden:

  • Right Sidebar Ad
  • Top Banner Ad (when viewing an email)
  • Ads between emails* (when viewing inbox)

*Yahoo makes it difficult to remove the gap for the ad, but the ad text is not shown

Space freed:

  • Top gray header hidden (Home/Mail/News/Finance)
  • Right toolbar hidden

The add-on asks for permission to Access your data for sites in the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/ba8a2208c7ecc39ffd92032be59cefff737192a101cbe7d96212b0abea063e6f/http%3A//mail.yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">mail.yahoo.com</a> domain and Access your data for <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/ba8a2208c7ecc39ffd92032be59cefff737192a101cbe7d96212b0abea063e6f/http%3A//mail.yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">mail.yahoo.com</a>, but this add-on does not read any of your emails - it only hides (does not display) the advertisements.

Works but also hides the settings, contacts, etc menus. Would be nice to not have to temporarily disable to get those to show.
