The Yahoo Browser Exists

The early Y! Browser is still out there and accessible by Y! Plus subscribers (click "download software" at bottom-right of My Yahoo! page).

It seems to have been ignored and unsupported for many moons. I say this because a lot of the navigation toolbar buttons (a la Y! Companion / Y! Toolbar) are dead links or are redirected to something more generic than the button implies.

If it was made current and a little more crash-resistant, it'd be worth a look for Yahoo! fanatics like me.

In the meantime, you get basically the same thing with IE6 and the Y! Toolbar. The only real advantage is the Y! Plus Sidebar (easy access to msgr, photos, briefcase and launchcast) but if you download the Y! Browser, the Y! Plus Sidebar extensions are ready to work inside a plain vanilla IE6 also.

Yeh well, having tested a lot for MSN and particularly the MSN Premium software,I think the Yahoo Plus browser looks pretty weak...Alright, Yahoo is not backed up by MS Technology like MSN is but those script errors really are annoying and happend very frequently.

I cant really think of a Yahoo version of FF... I'd probly think about Netscape with a bult-in Y! Messenger instead of AIM, and various tabs in the sidebar for briefcase or webbased bookmarks for example...
Or maybe would it be that dashboard I had in mind in order to compete with Longhorn: A sidebar gathering various services and integrating the messenger plus quick access to services , a Y! Photos slideshow or a briefcase uploader...all on the side of the desktop...
Anyhow a lot can be said and done, just can't wait to test

Was this was mis-reported in the Bloomberg article?

"You could look to Yahoo to do most everything that makes sense on the Internet going forward," Semel said Friday in an interview in New York. Developing a browser may make sense "at some point in time," he said.

Doesn't seem to make reference to a Y! branded browser developed in the past. But if that's all there is, then so be it.

This is somewhat unrelated, but I couldn't think of a better place to sound-off. :)

I clicked on the promotional link in Yahoo! Mail to try out "photomail". I got a page - http://photomail.mail.yahoo.com/betasorryplatform that tells me that "your computer doesn't currently meet the system requirements for PhotoMail" (which is MS IE 5.5).

That's a "blame the user" error. It is apparently my fault that I run Firefox. The error should read "PhotoMail does not currently support Firefox."

Joel: You're right. I'll see about getting that fixed.

In the British Telecom market there's a Yahoo! Browser that's tabbed. Dang, I want some of that.

HAMEDAN is one of the cradles of Oriental Civilization with legendary background. According to historical records, there was once a castle in this city by the name of Haft Hessar (seven walls) which had a thousand rooms and its grandeur equaled of the Babylon Tower. All the nations living around IRAN coveted the prominent natural position of Hamden from the times immemorial until recent centuries; and have invaded the city seveal times.First, the Assyrians destroyed HAMEDAN. It was ruined again and again during the invasion of Mongols and Tamerlane. Finally, in the recent centuries the Ottomans attacked the city several times................Located 336 kms west of Tehran, Hamadan is a city of great antiquity, the foundation of which is attributed to a king of Medes, dating back to 700 BC from over 25 centuries ago, Hamadan is of considerable historical importance.

There is a new improved version to the yahoo browser out. Verizon is now pimping it out as we speak. Pretty nice, if you ask me.

It's been a while since Yahoo! and Verizon started pushing out the new Yahoo! browser with tabs. So when do us poor saps with Yahoo! Plus get an update?

I got the Yahoo browser when I switched to SBC DSL a year ago and have used it off and on since. Seems like as good a product as Firefox or Netscape to me. Stable, configurable and tabbed.

I have just been trying the AOL browser which is a version of IE and it has nice interface features as well. Only thing about Yahoo browser is it isn't very "sexy" looking. The AOL browser is the most advanced in terms of appearance if not features IMO>

Hey Joe,

I've got SBC Y! DSL and i hav that browser with the tabs and the sidebar, and u arent missing out on much. It looks great at first but at least on a slow pc the Yahoo integration isnt worth it!

It seems to crash every 5 or 10 minutes, sometimes it fails to load certain pages, and it tends to be VERY slow! I've tried to like it over and over but after 10 minutes i'm ready to uninstall the darn thing.

Its its a memory hog like the Yahoo music engine only slower and more crash prone!

I use firefox with the Y! toolbar and A's Y! mail notifier and it way more productive; along with way faster!

What would be perfect is if Mozilla could team up with Yahoo and make a "Yahoo FireFox" with the Yahoo integration and sidebar and autologon and all the Yahoo site features would work in it without any memory hog habits or frequent crashes. (thats my fantasy world)

Also, [Y!'s new photomail feature doesn't support FireFox!!!]

Didnt they just say like 2 weeks ago that from now on all new software will be tested to support FireFox!!!???

Back in the late 90a, Yahoo bought a small web browser software company from Georgia (i think) called encompass (encompass.com / check archives). They since discontinued the browser software (except instances listed above).

Hello. I just wanted to apologise for selecting your topic on Yahoo Browser. (I was going to copy and paste this topic - but there was a sentence telling me I was not authorised to do so.)

I have a blog site in the UK and every now and again the BT/Yahoo browser closes down. I was telling a fellow blogger that I had a Yahoo browser but he had never heard of it. So then I was trying to do a search for Yahoo browser and I came up with your topic.

I do not know anything about the browser/internet world. I only blog a bit. However I couldn't believe that I had made such a silly statement, "yes I use a Yahoo browser" so I wanted to prove that it existed. And not feel so foolish.

I think your topic has proved to me that in some way the yahoo browser does exist. Or have I read what I've read here, completly wrong?

Many thanks. 365.

I deleted my yahoo dsl browser because it din't work properly. I'm trying to download it but i can't anymore.
Is there another way to download it??

In the UK British Telecom (the national phone company) give you the Yahoo browser with all their ISP's. I recieved one in early 2006. I find that it's chunky buttons means it's very intuitive to use, quite unlike the mess of IE 7 where you have to press alt-f to actually open 'file'. Given BT's prominence in the UK, I would assume a large percentage of the country's broadband users have the BT Yahoo Browser.

However it often rejects javascript applets, and this can be irritating in a lot of sites but if you switch the internet off and turn it on again the problem is solved

I regularly get prompts from BT to install updates to the browser, but whenever you click on the link it says that the service is unavailiable at the moment, try again later. It never is.

I tried to Google Yahoo Browser and once came up with a site that offered a newer version of it for download. I was really happy, until it asked me what ISP I used. The drop down menu had only obscure Amercican companies. Ridiculous considering the Yahoo Browser's market penetration in Britain is assumedly so much higher than it is in the US.

So the question remains, WHY IS EVERYONE PRETENDING A PROGRAM THAT IS USED BY COUNTLESS MILLIONS DOESNT EXIST? Why do I find this site before the official one (if it exists). The Yahoo browser has so many advantages, if it would straighten out it's few problems it could beat the crap IE 7 hands down

Heaps cool. Back in 1996, when the internet was still pretty new for people who weren't in the computing industry, my brother asked his teacher "what's your favourite browser?". The teacher said Yahoo.

Hey Guys,
I had been following up with these comments since a long time.Yahoo DSL browser is no longer supported by AT&T ad is no longer available on our AT&T website.If u uninstall it ,u wont be able to get it back.The DSL software has expired as on 07/01/2009.
