On my computer I use Mozilla for emails and internet, and my home page is sfgate which is the San Francisco Chronicle. I like to see the news when I log on. I have my own domain name and have three email accounts set up. One for me, one for +1, and one we give out when purchasing online, I never get spam on my own email address.
likewise I never give out my cell phone number, only our landline, which we have to keep because of poor cell reception inside our house. I have received very few robo calls on my cell, and I know they are just that. I block every one I get.

Gary, I don't worry about cookies as I routinely 'delete' all of mine.
Jim, Yahoo and My Yahoo are (or were) entirely different.
Cos, as far as emails, I use Comcast and very, very seldom get any kind of spam, etc. I have Yahoo as a backup but never use it because of the junk that it gets.

And you've seen no change. . . interesting. I can't figure out what's triggering mine not to work any more. There have been complaints for years and years about issues with My Yahoo not working as it should but mine have always been temporary till now.
Morris, I'm like you, I like seeing the news when I go the internet and even more so when I can see three different news feeds at once. It's amazing how similar yet different the news is reported. I hate the sources that just want to put out 'shock' news to get you to read their stuff and their ads.

^ no, not by my definition. When I click on Safari it should take me to My Yahoo; plus I have all the tiles, tabs, or whatever we call them on top of my custom home page which I described above.

When I open up the firefox browser, I have the bookmark took bar visible, so from there I can click wherever I want to go. I have the office PC set to Google News as a home page, my PC at home is Yahoo, and I'm not sure what I have my lap top set to, I think my home page on the PC is a generic Yahoo page, not a "My Yahoo" page as they kept making changes I didn't not want to bother with, so I didn't keep it up.

I have MSN.com as home page. Open it, look at all the hyped, depressing news, quickly go to usual sites. BTW... I used the ancient IE as browser. I put it into default InPrivate Browsing (CTRL-SHIFT-P). Helps keep some of the tracking software away.

Use Ghostery or AdBlock (or both). Ghostery blocks 99% of all tracking.
