Ad blocker not working? Only on yahoo.com [View all]

I have been using adguards. Free. All of a sudden this evening Yahoo, my home page is full of ads.

Not on DU, not on other newspaper sites, not CNN not my bank only Yahoo?

What is interesting there is usual a counter telling me how many ads were blocked, but not now. OK, it is while on Yahoo but not on DU. I suppose DU has its own ad blocker.
