Anyone tried it lately? MAN it takes a looooong time to load.
LOGGING IN..
LOADING...
(then it inexplicably has to change color..)
then you're in.
I've fired off 5 Gmails by the time this thing loads.
ACK. |
Heh. What I found most annoying in everyday Yahoo Mail Beta usage are the giant graphic ads. |
Y! Mail 18 seconds vs Gmail 9 seconds (Gmail HTML version took ~1 second). Worth to note that Yahoo Mail loads more junks. |
It takes my PC 4 seconds to arrive at the Gmail page from the time I double click the mail notifier icon in the systray.
Since there's not a Y! Mail equivilant, it takes 12 seconds for me to arrive at the Y! Mail Beta page after I click on the Y! mail icon in the toolbar.
GMail loads three times faster. I just wish they had a quick compose link on the personalized page.

Yeah, it's really slow, but I like it. It has a really nice interface. I usually read something while I wait for the loading sign to disappear.
You can block ads with Adblock Plus extension if you are using FF. |
I've heard that Adblock Plus blocks Google Analytics, is that true? |
it's all about speed for me. i click the link and whammo it's there. |
have you tried hosts file to kill ads? |
Is there a Yahoo HTML mail interface like for Gmail? I wonder what we can do when forced to the new version. |
Phillip: That seems to be the case for dutchblock. There's a thread on the Adblock Plus forums regarding the issue here: http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8823&sid=20c93f3f6857ba05be3d7a573002cf84
...doesn't really affect me though because I just have NoScript block Analytics.
