How to stop advertisement in yahoo mail

There is no such thing as free in the world of free email accounts. To make money, Yahoo, like other webmail companies, inserts advertisements inside your messages.

You could understand why - after all, you get your email service for free - but it doesn't make it any less annoying. These advertisements can be annoying and distracting, especially if you accidentally click on them.

You can hide, remove, or block them if you can't stand it any longer. You can also alter the types of advertisements that appear.

Hide Advertising on Yahoo Emails

The simplest way to avoid seeing adverts in your Yahoo account is to hide them. To do this, go into your email account or open an email and look for the arrow pointing to the right between your mail and the advert. If you click this arrow, you'll hide the advert. This isn't a permanent fix. Adverts come back every time you interact with an email, and you must click the arrow each time you want to hide an advert.

Subscribe to Yahoo's ad-free email service.

You can completely remove advertising from your Yahoo email account if you are ready to pay for it. At the time of publication, upgrading to the Ad Free Mail account costs $49.99 per year. To do so, go to your email account's Settings menu, pick "Ad Free Mail," and then follow the instructions for paying with the Yahoo Wallet. Yahoo used to package extra capabilities into its expensive email service, but it now makes the majority of these functions available to all customers. Aside from the elimination of advertisements, Ad Free Mail's only other advantage is that your account will never be put to dormant.

Block Types of Adverts

Rather than paying for an ad-free account, you can instead control the type of advertising that Yahoo displays. Yahoo analyzes the way you use its sites and services to predict the kinds of advertising you might be interested in, but if you don't like this kind of tracking, you can use the Ad Interest Manager function to set customized advertising rules based on your interests. You can either opt-out of the interest advertising system completely or block adverts by category.
