Yahoo! Axis is a desktop web browser extension and mobile browser for iOS devices created and developed by Yahoo!.[1]

Contents

History [edit]

The browser made its public debut on May 23, 2012.[2] 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.[3]

Design [edit]

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.[4]

Supported devices [edit]

Mobile browser [edit]

Desktop browser extension [edit]
