+==== Issue ====
+barrons.com is giving the following error.
+<code>
+You have been blocked.
-Background:
+Why?
+Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our
+attention.
-yfinance library is the easiest and fastest way to download historical stock prices. Asof 2023-05-20, it is not available in the defaults channel. But is available in the conda-forge channel.
+There are various possible explanations for this:
+* You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than
+  expected of a human being.
+* Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your
+  computer.
+* There is a robot on the same network (IP WW.XX.YY.ZZ) as you.

-name: test_yfinance
-channels:
