I have a net book computer. It works well with google and chrome. When I try yahoo mail the adds eat it alive?
I have used yahoo for many years but lately when I try to use yahoo mail yahoo eats all of the resources of my computer with all the adds. It uses all of the processor 100% and even keeps me from being able to receive my mail. Is there a simple solution that does not require buying s new computer or should I just quit using yahoo entirely. I would rather not quit yahoo completely as I have many contacts who use my yahoo email but.....gmail and chrome work like a charm.

I know what you mean about processing power and loading speeds Block ALL pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, and other ads FOREVER with add-ons for any site and any browser:
(for Windows users:)
For Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera

For Firefox, install 'AdBlock Plus':

(Also consider Flashblock and NoScript for more blocking and security as well as speed.)

Chrome is a little faster and it has less unwanted nonsense than Internet Explorer. I think you would like it. It would not affect your mail account. If you didn't like Firefox, perhaps you won't like Chrome either. I say that because Firefox is also considerably better than Internet Explorer. Maybe you just don't like change, or the features that interest you might be different than the features which interest me.

You need a plugin, programs or even an add-on to block ads.
If you are using Firefox, you can get the add-on Adblock plus.
