Ever since I tried gmail, I hopelessly regretted ever using Yahoo Mail. Bad UI and Ad-ridden don’t even begin to describe it. Even now, Yahoo comes back to haunt me.
The problem: Wisestamp.com Tab Pop Up
So I checked my Yahoo email on desktop recently for some old information. Then for no apparent reason, ever time I opened a my first incognito window, I would also get a second tab that redirected me to wisestamp.com. It’s especially unnerving since I’m using incognito…but also SO annoying. It took me a few minutes to figure out why it was happening. Here’s how to get rid of it.
Edit:
I later realized the Yahoo Mail Signature app was in my chrome apps so I removed it there as well:
- Go to your chrome apps (can type chrome://apps/ into your URL bar)
- Right click on the yahoo app
- Select Remove from
Original method I used:
- Click the three vertical dots on the upper right hand side of your chrome window
- Hover over “More Tools”
- Click on Task Manager
- Select all Yahoo Mail items
- Click “End Process”
Then you’ll see this pop up in the upper right hand corner of your browser:
If it doesn’t work, clear your cache and cookies and try again.
Yahoo is the worst! 😦

thanks a lot. this was driving me crazy. This isn’t the first time I got Wisestamp toilet paper stuck to my heel. They’re a shady org if i’m being kind. If i were in marketing at WiseStamp I’d be ashamed of myself for being intentionally short sighted with my brand’s marketplace perception, or neglectfully allowing this to happen.
