Agreed; Yahoo Finance is the one Yahoo property I've used consistently forever.

Yeah it's still incredibly good. I like Ycharts too but that's not free.

Same here! I'm using it from the last 16-17 years almost every weekday and sunday nights. Tried Google finance but I could not get hooked to it.

Yahoo Finance is the easiest way for individual investors to download historical securities prices for doing their own quantitative analysis.

Yes! Back in the day (around 2012-2015) I did a bunch of regressions in R using YF data to land on my target portfolio value tilt. Certainly not something anyone has to do, but interesting for a finance nerd.
