jkh334 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I go to the yahoo.com bookmark in my chrome browser and get these gloomy/warrish news stories right away front and center. This is not what my wife sees when she goes to the same Yahoo page on her pc. The default tab when you go to the Yahoo page is 'all stories'Scrolling down a page gives me thisHowever I click the 'News' tab to the right and come back to the 'all stories' tab and get the stories my wife got when she went to the same page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistic Gelatin Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yahoo! has likely gathered information on your browsing habits to the point where it "thinks" it knows what kind of content you prefer. Unfortunately, the algorithms they may be using might not be accurate in your case, even if you have a history of clicking mostly on news stories that don't contain 'apocalyptic' content. Try deleting any Yahoo! cookies and see if your content changes when opening your bookmarked URL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkh334 Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wow that worked! I use ccleaner and ran that but got no change when clicking yahoo but when I clicked clear chrome history and cookies from inside chrome and then went to yahoo, I get the normal depressing American news that my wife sees. Any chance I can change the news to make it happier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
