Yahoo Mail blocks Users over Ad blocking Dispute

yahooYahoo has started to block users from accessing its email services if customers are using ad-blockers in their browser.

The company is currently rolling out a “new product experience” in the US, with users reporting that Yahoo Mail asked them to turn off their blocker before being able to access their accounts.

The message says: “Uh oh… We are unable to display Yahoo Mail. Please disable Ad Blocker to continue using Yahoo Mail.” Read more on Cbronline.
