a profane or offensive expression used to express anger or other strong emotions.
OTOH, perhaps they do since I daily use, or at least think, oaths about Yahoo mail.

"Oath" isn't a good name.
Are we allowed to suggest alternatives? I'm fairly sure I could come up with something appropriate.

It's the most ex-Yahooing formerly-AOLed idea I've ever seen.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?

Again, they avoid mentioning that 93.7% (+/- 0.0001%) of android Internet access is background activity, and has nothing to do with browsers.
Everyone I know opens web pages in android browsers only if they won't have access to a computer soon enough -- and most people would rather walk 50 yards and open a browser on windows than use a phone browser.
