How to Remove Yahoo News Feed on Facebook

The yahoo news feed appearing in your Facebook wall can give you insights on interesting and trending yahoo news. It also provides information on yahoo news and articles your online friends are currently reading or have recently read.


For some, however, the yahoo updates on Facebook can be irritating. Apparently, this is because of the placement of the links and excerpts of the featured articles which are placed on top of the news feed. Facebook users are also prompted to provide access to the yahoo facebook app to be able to read the featured articles from their account.

  1. I don't like everybody knowing what I read on Yahoo news! Its like somebody hearing your toilet flushing. They know your business. I don't know if that is a very good analogy, but its mine.
