Yahoo Axis was a desktop web browser extension and mobile browser for iOS devices created and developed by Yahoo. [1]
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]
On June 28, 2013, Yahoo announced the discontinuation of the Axis. [4]
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. [5]
If you installed the browser plug-in, it will no longer work. If you downloaded the app, it will continue to work, but won't be actively maintained.
