Yahoo angers ad-blocking users by restricting access to mail
The organization said it is ‘continually developing and testing new product experiences.’
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
