How To Remove Yahoo Mail Snowflakes That Float Over Screen
Dec 22, 2014Web and InternetComments (1)
Yahoo added little white snowflakes that flow over the screen on Yahoo Mail during the winter. If you want to remove them, you can do so using any standard ad blocker.


Don't Have an Ad Blocker?


To block these from showing up, you'll need an ad blocker extension or plug-in for your browser. If you don't already have one, you can get one from your browser's extension/plug-in page. I recommend µBlock Origin for either Chrome or Firefox. Any one that supports the AdBlock Plus filter syntax will work.


Custom Filter


Add the following filter to your ad blocker custom filter section:

###winterClouds
This removes the element that contains the snowflakes.

Thank you. The snowflakes were annoying. You would think Yahoo would give us a choice and concentrate on speeding up the program. The constant notifications of what action I just took is also annoying. "Message sent" Undo? etc is slowing the program down.
