  Hi,i've noticed something with Yahoo today.When there's no user settings with Yahoo and everything is default,Yahoo will redirect me to the Singapore Domain.Even if i enter Yahoo.com,i go to Yahoo.com.sg

   

  There,i have the option of having Yahoo.com as the main page instead of the Singapore domain.Naturally,it get resetted back to default when i clear my cache,cookies and all since the settings are in one of 'em.

  
  Problem is,clearing cache,cookies and all is usual for me for added security and it would be a hassle to do it repeatly.

  Must be following Google. Google also does the same thing if you just type in www.google.com

  http://sg.rd.yahoo.com/spirit/ipredirect/*http://www.yahoo.com/

  This page will bring you directly to yahoo.com

  By the way, if you disable JavaScripts on Yahoo, it will stop the re-directing.

  Using NoScript addon. You can selectively disable/enable JavaScripts, Flash, Java, etc on certain sites.
