Yahoo has found a new way to annoy its users, by denying them access to their emails.
No, this isn’t a joke, although people are actually laughing at the Sunnyvale company’s service for doing this.
Here’s what happened. Some users reported that Yahoo was blocking their inbox, because they were using Ad Blockers. Users who tried to login to Yahoo Mail with AdBlock Plus enabled for the website, were greeted by the following message.

Yahoo has announced a new feature for its Mail service.

It is a button, which allows you to send web links to various services of your choice. Yahoo Mail now supports Firefox Share, and it has some useful features too. You can share a webpage’s link to any user’s email address, even yourself. This will act kind of like a bookmark, which you can read at leisure.
