User reviews

Users find Webmail Ad Blocker generally effective and helpful in reducing ads and distractions on Yahoo Mail and Outlook, appreciating its simplicity and developer support. However, recent updates to Yahoo Mail and Outlook have led to decreased effectiveness, with ads appearing in new locations like sidebars and inbox messages. Some users have reported layout issues, limited options, and that the extension no longer blocks all ads. Despite these drawbacks, many long-term users remain grateful for its benefits.

Pros

Effectively blocks many ads on Yahoo Mail and Outlook, improving user experience and providing more screen space.
Users appreciate that it reduces distractions from intrusive and inappropriate ads.
Works well for an extended period for many users; considered reliable and appreciated by longtime users.
Simple and easy to use with basic enable/disable options.
Supported by a dedicated developer who is active and responsive to feedback.

Cons

The extension no longer fully blocks ads on Yahoo Mail, especially with recent interface changes leading to ads on the sidebar and right toolbar.
Does not block ads in the inbox area itself, with some ads still being visible and labeled as "AD".
Recently stopped working or has reduced effectiveness on Outlook, with ads appearing on the bottom or right side despite using the extension.
Causes layout issues on Yahoo Mail, such as scrambling or messing up the right toolbar.
Limited options and customization capabilities, restricting user control over what is blocked.

Jason Savard As of 3 May, "Webmail Ad Blocker” is not able to block outlook ads. Could you please look into it? Thanks again and great product! Keep this project alive 🙌🏻🤎

Images popping up, distracting me from my reading, the side of the screen being taken by the ads, and the inappropriate nature of some of the ads that I could not find out how to exclude are now all solved for me. This is still day one of having the blocker, but it works for yahoo mail fine so far. I will revisit and post a screenshot on the forum if a problem with it pops up. Thanks, Mr. Savard.
