In an odd turn of events I have ben one a regular user of Yahoo! despite how terrible the experience and content is. It shipped as a Safari default years and years ago and has remained in my neglected Safari bookmarks for no particular reason. I’ve recently reverted to using Safari on iPhone as my default mobile browser and used to rely on my recently used tabs for a quick dopamine hit. Several months ago Apple removed that from the new tab experience, putting my bookmarks front and center. So I use Yahoo. It’s mostly clickbait content, heavily monetized, with all of the excrement of 20 years of AdTech on display. Ads routinely load in the wrong unit size, or with a double quote character that breaks the sticky container making it impossible to view the next page of comments. Most often the ads are mobile redirects that just crash the page and lose your scroll position. It’s really a terrible experience to behold. At least I don’t use social media. |
