Hello How Can I Prevent Adds From Appearing In Yahoo Inbox While Using Safari A.

Why do people still use the Bing or Yahoo search engines instead of Google?

I answered why I use Bing in the other post: Eric Zheng's answer to Which search engine do most Microsoft employees use?Copy/pasted here:I use Bing on desktop/laptops. I use whatever the default browser is in Safari on my iPhone and iPad.I purposefully choose Bing over Google on desktop/laptops because: on google.com, after I type the first letter in the search box, the search box jumps from the center of the window to the upperleft corner. Such a jump is a poor user experience. It is counter-intuitive. Normally, user's expectation of a textbox's behavior is: it will stay there as long as I am still typing, until I either change the focus (by pressing "tab" or mouse clicking elsewhere) or press "enter". The textbox should not spontaneously move while I am still typing. It is very distracting and annoying.Maybe such behavior can be turned off. But since Bing gives me satisfactory search result all the time, why bother spending time to figure out how to change Google's default behavior?Btw, I use Google Maps all the time. Because Bing Maps is inferior. Lots of times when I use the same words to search for a place, Bing Maps couldn't find it but Google Maps could.The only caveat of Google Maps: it's a bit too smart. It knows when roads are closed. For example, some roads in some national parks are closed till May or June. Today when I plan the road trips in the summer to/in/through these parks, Google Maps thinks the roads are closed. I have to use Bing Maps in this case.

How can one track whether a sent email was read? I’m using gmail.

You put a lot of efforts framing an email, and hitting send should not be the end of it. Being able to monitor email opens is a good thing. It can give you great insights into recipient’s engagement level and behavior.Many tools solve this given problem but here are my top pics:SalesHandyIt is the easiest to use and cost-effective tool for email tracking. It provides free unlimited email tracking and scheduling. It enables desktop notifications about email opens and also offers data for user’s location, browser and device used to view the email. It also comes with a host of other features like Team Template sharing, Document tracking and Mail Merge campaign with auto follow-up. It has both Gmail and Outlook plugin, and other ESP users can use SMTP settings to configure through SalesHandy.YeswareIt is a popular option but a more comprehensive tool. Their free plan allows tracking 100 emails every month. It is a bit costly as compared to other available options. They provide prescriptive data that helps sales team forecast consumer behavior and focus on warm leads. One can select to load messages into a CRM software using Yesware automatically.BananaTagTheir free plan covers tracking of 5 emails per day. It can be used for external communication as well as communication within the team. They encourage interested parties to obtain real-time data on employee engagement, using their platform. Apart from tracking email opens and attachment, it also provides analytics on the activities of the emails tracked. It has plugins available for Gmail and Outlook.SidekickIt is developed by the team at HubSpot and helps users remain hyper-connected with their contacts. Its central functionality encompasses tracking when and where an email was opened and what device was used. But it differentiates itself by generating profiles of the connections. They display contact’s professional history in the inbox. Using their free plan you can track 200 open/click notifications per month.GetNotifyTo track an email using GetNotify you need to manually add the suffix - getnotify.com at the end of each recipient’s email address. Its free plan allows tracking 150 emails per month (5 emails per day), 6 months of email content backup and personal page on their website where you can access tracking history. It’s not that user-friendly as compared to its larger competitors but it gets the job done.

Can someone hack my email? If so, how can this be prevented?

The short answer, yes and ultimately it can't be prevented.The long answer. I presume you do not host your own e-mail server, but the things about hacking e-mail can also be applied by your own mail server.Mail is usually retrieved by either POP or IMAP, protected by a username/password combination. By default these are sent in the clear. That means that when someone is sniffing your internet connection she can amazingly simple retrieve that combination. Responsible mail providers force your mail client to use encrypted connections, but the number of responsible mail providers is sadly low. The two big one, Google and Microsoft do it. If you are not sure your mail provider does this, ask them, and ask them to implement it. Encryption won't prevent hacking, but it makes retrieving the username/password combination so much more difficult.Use a complex password. Complex means long, the longer the better, use upper and lowercase characters and some interpunction. You can use words in your password, just use more than one, preferably not related words, and use some other characters in it than letters and numbers. An example of a strong password:theDogsAero44planeMars$tiansThat is strong, yet easy to remeber. It is strong in that it uses upper and lowercase characters, numbers and another character. It doesn't use substitution, like $ for s, or ! For 1, but it interrupts the words with them.If your mail provider doesn't support long passwords, ask for them to implement them.The bad news is, someone can access e-mail without accessing your e-mail account. That is done by sniffing internet connections. Since the standard way mail servers communicate with each other is in plain text, not encrypted, the mail is sent as human readable text. This is something that your e-mail provider can easily fix, ask them about it. Again the two biggest e-mail providers send mails encrypted, if the receiving mail server supports that.Use your mail clients spam protection, really, and never, ever, really never, click on links in e-mails you don't trust. Best is to never click on links in e-mail.You can use two factor quthentication, but not all mail clients support that.Even woth all these precautions, hacking can not be prevented, it can be made very difficult, tremendously difficult even, but total prevention of hacking is, as yet, not possible.

What does "Active k minutes ago" mean on Facebook Messenger? Is this the time last active on Facebook, or Messenger, or something else?

For the most part the "last active" notification for a given Facebook user in Facebook Messenger is totally bogus/irrelevant. I've researched this topic out of simple curiosity.Believe it or not people have actually ended long-term relationships based on that simple notification, believing their significant-other was ignoring them or worse yet seeing other people behind their backs. LOLSee link: https://m.facebook.com/help/comm...From what I was able to gather from the most skilled Facebook users it's merely an indication of the last time a message was posted to that Facebook user's Messenger account, often when their mobile device was idle with the Messenger app running in the background. Like when a person is asleep while their phone is charging.People who would breakup over such things without giving their loved one the benefit of the doubt aren't really grownup enough for adult relationships in the first place. In my opinion. Ha ha ha
