Yahoo is insistent on forcing Mac users to upgrade our OS to Maverick (which Apple is currently (11/7/13) offering for free). If you choose not to update to Maverick, what makes the "upgrade your browser" prompt even more annoying is that Yahoo Mail redirects to it each time one signs in. I found a solution for everyone but Safari users. Hope some smart Mac user finds a solution soon.

Thanks Andy. Note for pedants and technophobes - there is no IGNORE BUTTON, there is CONTINUE which takes you to the IGNORE landing page.


1) Sign In to Yahoo Mail


2) Auto-directed to upgrade page


3) Select Continue User uploaded file


4) Bookmark the URL you're taken to and use that to login


OR ALTERNATIVELY, per Carolyn, you can access Yahoo Mail via Mac Mail


All other browsers try the URL method or http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/179967
