Google isn’t the only web browser in town anymore. Yahoo launches its own web browser last Wednesday evening and calling it Axis.
Yahoo is working relentlessly on the web-browsing arena to connect
your experiences across devices by giving you exactly the same
information no matter what device you are using on. It is in this
underlying principle that gave Yahoo the idea of integrating both mobile
iOS and computer web-browsing capabilities to streamline your searches
in between devices. Thus, it gave way to the birth of Axis.
Visual previews in Axis eliminates the traditional step of looking
web searches in the form of links and replaces the experience with an
image of the website you’re be looking into. Interesting enough,
alternate searches can be done without leaving the present page you are
on. Sweet, right? Well, anyways let’s keep ourselves with the tracks.

With iOS, you can tap the Axis Bar and bring up a list of trending
searches (an Axis tech-defining feature is the integration of the search
box and address bar into one, so to say). You can either tap the
trending search results to learn more or search your own term using the
bar.
Answers will automatically appear for common searches like movies, news, and weather- often allowing you to see the what you’re looking for without leaving the page you’re on.
On the other hand, for other searches the browser will create a row of visual previews to websites that matched your specific query. You can swipe through the results and tap on the one you are looking for, or swipe across the screen to look for more searches in case you are not interested of your recent selection.

Then there is what Yahoo considered device connectivity. It works
like this- an Axis homepage gives you access to the sites you’ve
recently visited not only on your iOS device, but on your computer and
other devices with running Axis. This means that the homepage you access
in your iPad will show a website
frequently visited on your iPhone or the ones you’ve check out while
browsing at home. Axis creates this feature so you won’t lose your track
of your favorite sites. In addition, searches can also be continued
from one device to another device. For example, a ” Continue from
iPhone” button will appear on your other devices such as iPad and will
allow you to continue viewing remotely from that device. Whatever
device you’re using and whenever you are in any given time you will
continue experiencing your web-browsing.On your Computer
Axis is a plug-in for your favorite web browser rather than a
stand-alone product of its own when you use the computer. Available for
Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Safari, the Axis toolbar shows up at the bottom
of your web-browser and does pretty much the same as your iOS device.
It can preview images of sites and look up to any searches without
leaving your page.
The homepage is also located within your browser and can let you look at favorite sites and continue viewing your iOS searches.
