Yahoo Mail Ad Removal

removes the ads+expands space Motty Katan(c) Beta is Supported too. 06-02-2006 last updated 21-09-2007

This is was one of my oldest scripts(and perhaps the first).
It works for the classic and Beta versions of Yahoo Mail.

Classic:
* removes all ads.

Beta:
* removes all ads - my code uses Yahoo Mail's code and by that I think you will never need to update it :) Always stay an optimist.

* 21-09-2007: After a search in Yahoo's options I found the variable to expand folder space and messages space automaticly by default.

Anyhow I'm a user of Classic yahoo, so please alert me if the Beta stops working I'll fix it.

I can be reached through my site:

ToDo:
1. add a somekind of an options to give userscript users an ability to control which ads they want removed and which not. (suggest GM_addSettings function implemantation and if not short implement it using right click and ctrlKey).

amazing, works perfectly in Beta. You might want to make your descriptions more clear stating that it does allow you to see the search filters in the right-hand side bar which is the feature I was mainly looking for. Thank you this is amazing!

I just had the thought to start working on building something to do this. Luckily, I did a quick search and found your script. Works great and saved me the time/effort!

Thanks a lot :)

I need to call the function that gives more space to the window while in the inbox and I think that's it.

But now I'm at work.

Just ad the following to the above script to remove the text link ads from classic Yahoo mail.

GM_addStyle("div#nwad { display:none;}");
GM_addStyle("div#swads { display:none;}");

It deletes the banner at the top of the window, and gets rid of all the little pictures on the sidebar, but doesnt get rid of the links.

Also, it deletes the fancy text buttons when you compose mail (spell check buttons, bold, underline etc.) Not to mention it doesnt work on all the ads with that domain.

Good idea, but not very thorough.

I think it should be:
http://*.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch*
not:
http://*.mail.yahoo.com/dc/*

It appears that this does not work with the new Beta/ajaxy yahoo mail interface.
