I didn't know Yahoo was so concerned about browser compatibility but I'm excited to know they make an effort to "support all browsers." A few years ago I signed up for SBC Yahoo DSL service and was disappointed when my perfect "my.yahoo.com" page was converted automatically to "sbc.yahoo.com" and was no longer compatible with Opera (my browser). So... I was forced to make a decision: switch browsers or never use the MyYahoo portal again -- guess which one won?
