At YahooFinance every 2nd stock news article is ads! Ie. 50% of the content is fking ads! Degenerate! Much like YT!
Did you sign in to Yahoo Finance and YT? I don't sign in to YT and I use Brave browser. Yippieee!! hardly any ads!! Honestly, I don't mind the ads. But Google mainly shows me those ads that I hate (ads like How to be rich in a few days ). Those ads which I like (eg sexy babes) are not shown to me.
Yahoo never recovered from the tenure of that former Googler who was the original RTO pusher. She wanted everyone to stop working remotely and come to work every day. My friend worked there as a Network Engineer and coming to work for him was like an 80 mile commute so he quit after that announcement. I remember she also basically ignored multiple security breaches at yahoo.com where everyone got their personal data stolen.
Do I still use Yahoo? Yes. For searches? LOL NEVER! I remember when Yahoo was king, but then the search indexes became politically weaponized. Eventually, everyone realized it was just political garbage, biased to extreme leftism, which is why I still never use it, despite I go there every day to check out the 'legacy' financial aspect. I may be old-fashioned and blinded by nostalgia, but I still go to view my equity/bonds dashboard and other portfolio gimmicks. And sometimes, it's fun to see the list of Motley Fool articles for each stonk that the average Joe-Blow retailer is reading every day. Some people swear by MSN Money, and yes it may be a tad better. But I just admitted I'm blinded by nostalgia. I've got everything from Bloomberg TV and IBKR's 100 live news feed gimmicks here, but rarely use them.
Thx! Looks promising. Mine is named privoxy, but it somehow no more filters such shaet ads at YF & YT... :-( I just installed the extension from the sub-link at the above link.
Yeah U-Block has a whole army of people on Reddit... and the minute an ad shows up on YT for one of them, they go ham lol. And it's rare when it happens. There's a whole filter list under advanced settings. Just expand them all out and check-mark every box. Purge the cache and hit update filters.
