I use Yahoo Finance to follow the market and my holdings daily. There is news but also some clickbait. However they redesigned YF to the point it is kind of irritating. It takes more clicks to get where I used to be and all the info is not on one page like it used to be. Anyone else experience this? Maybe I need to use CNBC or another website. What alternatives are you seeing?

Yeah, their charting is different as well -- which was a major headache for me. In my book I used Yahoo for my basic charting chapters, and when they changed their software I had to re-write an alternative to use StockCharts charting. Y!Finance used to be clear and idiot-proof; perfect for small investors with limited information and understanding. Another example of "fixing" something that worked fine to make a new version less satisfactory. I'm guessing Y!F is getting a lot fewer clicks now. Hope so.

After AOL and Yahoo changed hands a few times (Verizon, Oath, private-equity Apollo Global), I have had trouble signing on to Yahoo - Calendar, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Finance.
Years ago, after I couldn't access Yahoo Calendar for a few weeks, I switched to Google Calendar. It eventually came back but I was gone by then.
I also stopped using Yahoo Mail for anything important. Useless if access is spotty.
I only use Yahoo Finance Watch Lists. I couldn't access then for a while, but then I figured out that my AT&T login still accesses Yahoo Finance. Seems a legacy of AT&T + Yahoo tie-in from a yester-era.
I can access AOL directly, but sometimes, there is an issue accessing it via Outlook. AOL requires a special app-password for it, but generates it only when it feels like it. There are discussion boards devoted to this problem, and my posted solution was, get 1 app-password from AOL, wait 3-4 days, get another app-password from AOL, etc.

Yes Yahoo Finance is for rough guesses. When it comes to exact figures I open up my Fidelity account.

The issue is that the tickers I follow are buried in many clicks of the mouse. It used to be that news, tickers, futures, market indices were all on one main page. No longer.
Yahoo does have a new portfolio tracker, version 2.0.

Yahoo does have a new portfolio tracker, version 2.0. I never switched to the new portfolio tracker. They keep asking but I do not switch. Sure it is just a matter of time.

I just use Yahoo Finance for the portfolio tracker feature (which still seems to work in Safari) and I also still use the M* portfolio manager that may disappear at any moment. As for the "reminders," to "upgrade" to the version that gets access to your brokerage accounts, I won't do that for Yahoo anymore than I did when M* or the WSJ were hyping such "benefits."
Maybe in the future I will be limited to my brokerage accounts and a spreadsheet for monitoring my investments, but that would be better than sharing my login data with 3rd parties. I would rather punch myself in the face repeatedly than do that.
