One of those is Yahoo. The company came under fire recently for denying access to Yahoo Mail for anyone using an ad blocker. When ad-block users go to check their mail, they’re greeted with a message that says, “Please disable Ad Blocker to continue using Yahoo Mail.”
At least they’re honest about who is their actual customer. Hint: It’s not the user. https://t.co/yXCj1oaDlc pic.twitter.com/h95iMJzXjZ
