For various reasons, mostly historical, I have long used Yahoo for most of my email.

After I first installed NoScript, I found that the Yahoo mail loaded faster.  Duh, less extra stuff on each page that I would have ignored anyway.

More recently I wanted to send  a picture.  Something hung up when loading the photo.  After some time investigating, I isolated the problem.  The file would only load if I set NoScript to allow something called webtrendslive.com.  webtrends.com is a digital marketing firm.  

I can't figure out what or why they want access to my photos, but ...

Guess it is time to start using an alternate email method.
