Add-on summary
Latest Beta version of Yahoo mail now completely supported! Please let me know if it doesn't work for some geographical locations.
With the latest version, this add-on now turns your free email to be completely equivalent to "Yahoo Ad Free Mail" except for one thing - they might still deactivate your account if you don't use it for a long time. But you wouldn't come here if you really didn't want to use your Yahoo mail :).
What's new!
- Now supports the 'old' Yahoo Mail Basic as well for those who are still using it (though in a limited manner). Why should those users suffer so much?
Doesn't Adblock Plus do that already, like hiding ads and all? : No. First, Adblock plus hides only some of the ads and takes money from big corporations to allow some other. For many users, it doesn't hide sponsored emails or the ads at the left corner. Second, even after hiding some ads it cannot recover the area that was consumed by those ads, like the banner ads at the right. This add-on takes care of all of that to make it really ad free.
Note: The add-on currently does not work on Firefox for Android or any version other than the desktop.
Thanks for the great response and comments so far! If it doesn't work for your country due to different Yahoo layout there, please email me (using the Support Email) with more details, and I'll try to make it work there as well.
