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