The pros and cons of setting Yahoo as your homepage

It is possible to use different home pages on your computer for searching the net. Yahoo is one of the most popular home pages that people use. In this article, have a look at the benefits of having Yahoo as your home page and the downside of using it.

The pros

Yahoo has a busy home page with different information available. The page contains a search bar which can be tailored to search in the country that you are using it in or a world wide search. It also shows you what is trending currently, that is, what other people are looking up on the internet. Great for news Yahoo gives you the latest news headlines on your home page under the titles of news, sport, entertainment and finance. You can leave it on the tab that you use the most so that every time you go back to the home page, you will see news updates - thus keeping a watch on any breaking news. Your favourite sites You can also set it to list your favourite sites, giving you a quick link to loading them rather than searching. The favourite sites tab can be set to give you direct links to social networking sites like Facebook and Bebo. Yahoo extras Other things on offer on the Yahoo home page are daily offers and video picks which add to the general busyness of the page and gives you extra information all in the one place. The Yahoo home page can also be set for your requirements. The page options function lets you change the colour of the page and you can also select compact view, thus making the home page more user-friendly.

The cons

On the minus side, the Yahoo home page is busy with lots of information and you may only want a plain search bar like Google has, rather than all different items to catch your attention. It can be very distracting if you just want to make a quick search and you may end up looking at pages that you initially had no intention of looking up. Slow to load Since the access information, the page can also be slower to load than some home pages, if you are using a slow internet connection. Areas may come up not displayable as the connection tries to load too much.
