Webmail has been extremely popular with Internet users right from the beginning. As the time went these services added more functionality to their products and attracted a lot of new users. As the users increased, so did the display of intrusive advertising. Not only these ads are distracting, but they take a lot of space in the precious inbox screen real estate. If you have a fairly large monitor, this might not be an issue, but this works very well for people who have smaller monitors and would like to get a better view at their inbox.

If we remove these ads, we can have a lot more space to work with in the inbox. If you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox we can easily remove the adverts from 3 of the most popular webmail services – Yahoo mail, Gmail and Windows Live Hotmail.

How to Block Ads in Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail:

Webmail Ad Blocker is an extension developed for both Chrome and Firefox and it easily removes the right hand side ads from the above mentioned Email services.

1) Webmail Ad Blocker on Yahoo Mail:

Yahoo gives you an option to minimize the ads, but they open up on every new page, so its best if we remove them permanently. Webmail Ad Blocker, once installed and enabled either on Firefox or Google Chrome, the changes are visible instantly.

2)Webmail Ad Blocker on Windows Live Hotmail:

Unlike Yahoo, Windows Live Hotmail, doesn’t even have the option to minimize the right hand side ads.

3) Webmail Ad Blocker in Gmail:

Gmail Ads are not very Intrusive, they are Text ads and blend in quite well. However, if you want more white space in your Inbox, Webmail Ad Blocker can work wonders there.
