First off, I don't have another another email account on Yahoo. Secondly, even though you were able to get to your Yahoo email account with Pale Moon, sooner or later no matter what browser you use, you'll eventually have to accept Oath's terms of service (which allows Oath to scan your emails) in order for you to get into your Yahoo email account (your Inbox). I have a sneaking suspicion if you use an adblocker in Yahoo email, Oath is eventually going to make you disable your adblocker in order for you to read your Yahoo emails. Just a guess on my part, but it is the most logical move which Oath should take.
If you don't mind Oath scanning your emails to give you targeted ads, that's your call. I'm different. I don't give away my privacy for any email account especially for ads, targeted or other wise. I've got an Hotmail email account and I use Adblock Latitude 4.0.1 to block all the ads in my Hotmail email account so I don't see any ads when I'm using Hotmail. And I know this irks Microsoft.
Earlier this morning when I was able to get into my Yahoo email using Firefox ESR, I purposely stayed logged in. This evening, again using Firefox ESR, I went back into my Yahoo email account and "I cleaned house" so to speak. Any email I needed, I sent them to myself at my Hotmail account. Then I deleted every email in my Yahoo Inbox, deleted every email in my Sent folder, then deleted every email in all of my other folders I created in Yahoo email. Then I deleted those folders. The end result. My Yahoo email looks like an empty shell with nothing in it anymore. Basically a blank sheet of white paper for an analogy. I'll instruct all of my email contacts to never send another email to my Yahoo email account.
But I wasn't finished. Then I went into my linux Mint utility program named, "Domain Blocker" and I put Oath's website address in there. This way; no matter if I'm using linux Pale Moon, linux SeaMonkey or linux Firefox ESR, Oath cannot put a cookie on any of my four computers. I can't get to Oath, but Oath can't get to me.
I did the same thing in Windows 7 by placing Oath's website address into my Hosts file. So again, no matter what windows browser I'm using, I can't get to Oath and Oath can't get to me. I did the same thing to Facebook a few years back so Oath will have company in my Domain Blocker and Hosts files in both linux and windows. So if Oath wants to target me with ads, in Yahoo or anywhere else on the web, Oath is...........S O L.
