First...the new ad locations above your inbox emails
only takes up one line. It changes on occasion
and if you accidentally click on it it will not cause any
problems for you other than possibly receiving an email
from them which you can SPAM. Anytime someone
clicks on it Yahoo gets a fee from the advertiser.
Now, if you still want to remove it below will show you how.
Presently, there are no options to Spam it, remove it or
delete it in the normal way. This link explains the new ad
location and others

This link contains several that explain ADS

=================================================
Below are some links for various browsers that
eliminate ads....including the one above your inbox
emails. I had to download the link for each browser
being used to accomplish this.
=======================================
If you do not want to download AdBlockPlus.......
For the Ad on the right side of your emails I have
found if you increase the size of your font by holding
down the CTRL button (lower left/right on your
keyboard)and rotate the wheel on your mouse
forward to increase thesize of your font you can
force the ad off the right side of your email page.
You can also accomplish this by holding down the
CTRL button on your key board and clicking on the
plus "+" sign to increase the size. You will then have to scrollto the right to read all of the text.You also have
the option of clicking on the small arrow inthe
horizontal line separating the ad from the email...
Hardto see sometimes.
========================================
The following Adblock Plus links have to be
downloadedfor each browser
Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adb...
Google Chrome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-...
Internet Explorer
============================================
This link is a helper site for Ad block Plus.... https://adblockplus.org/en/elemhidehelpe%E2%80%A6
============================================
If you don't already have these browsers...
This Yahoo link displays the latest versions of IE and MacIntosh
browsers that work best with Yahoo

====================================
this is another one that might work for Safari Mac and others

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And if you want to pay for the ad removal hover your pointer over the
GEAR...upper right....while in the INBOX view..click on AD FREE MAIL
It costs $49.99 a year. If you purchase this and still see Ads open this
link. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN14116.html?impression...

Yahoo no longer picks the best answer. We out here would
appreciate YOU doing it. So....when you are done receiving
answers to your question "PLEASE" pick one as a BEST
answer so someone gets credit for answering it. Thanks......
You must wait ONE HOUR after you ask a question before choosing.
This link will show how.
