Yahoo Axis


Yahoo Axis was a desktop web browser extension and mobile browser for iOS devices created and developed by Yahoo.

History

The browser made its public debut on May 23, 2012.
A copy of the private key used to sign official Yahoo browser extensions for Google Chrome was accidentally leaked in the first public release of the Chrome extension.
On June 28, 2013, Yahoo announced the discontinuation of Axis.

Design

Axis replaces the standard search results page in other browsers with a menu of search results appearing as thumbnails at the top of the page. The menu allows the user to stay on the current page without navigating away from it.
