Be careful when logged in to Yahoo

[fried eggs]

I made a comment on a news story, next thing I knew people at work were telling me how funny my comment about Trump was. Apparently Yahoo wants to join Google and Facebook in exposing every little thing we do online to our friends, neighbors, and employers. Also, be careful when asking personal or embarrassing questions on Yahoo Answers... they also show that info on Yahoo messenger unless you go into settings and tell them not to.

Before Google was even a thought.

9. Yeah, my Yahoo account is 11 years old

The Classic format is easy to use, and mailbox sizes were increased several years ago to keep pace with gmail, so I have no complaints (note: I never use the homepage, just the freemail).

6. It's actually my homepage!I like it, but I'm beginning to like it less and less

If they don't stop with the ads that have to be viewed or clicked on to make them go away they will lose me very quickly

I have adblocker with firefox, and even with that, some sites still have ads:grr:
