"Google isn't the only search engine in town with its own web browser. Yahoo announced its own new browser Wednesday evening: Axis.\nWorking seamlessly between your iPhone, iPad and computer Yahoo is aiming to streamline your searches and connect your experience across devices by giving you access to the same information no matter what device you're accessing it on.\nVisual previews of sites in Axis eliminate the traditional step in web searches where you're looking through links and replaces that experience with an image of the website you'll be going to. Some searches can even be done without leaving the page you're on.\niOS\nTapping the Axis Bar -\u2013 which combines the search box and address bar into one -\u2013 will bring up a list of trending searches. You can tap a particular trending search to learn more, or enter your own search term or website address into the bar.\nAnswers will begin to appear automatically for common searches like movie times and weather, often allowing you to see what you're looking for without having to leave the page you're on.\nFor other searches the browser will create a row of visual previews to websites matching your specific query. You can swipe through the results, and then tap on a picture to visit a specific page. If you don't like the result you've selected you can swipe across the screen to check out the next search result.\n\nAn Axis homepage gives you access to the sites you've recently visited not only on your iOS device, but also on your home computer or any other device you might use running Axis. So, the homepage on your iPad will show a website you visit frequently on your iPhone, or one you check out often while browsing at home.\nSearches can also be continued from one device to another. For instance, a \u201CContinue from iPhone\u201D button will appear on your iPad and allow you to continue viewing search results you were looking at one your phone on a bigger screen.\nOn your computer\nOn your computer Axis is a plug-in for your favorite web browser rather than a stand-alone product of its own. Available for Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Safari, the Axis toolbar shows up at the bottom of your web browser and can be used much like the iOS version to see visual previews of sites, and to look up information without leaving the page you're on.\nThe homepage option is also available within your browser, letting you to look at favorite websites and continue viewing search results from your iPhone or iPad.\nAxis is available now. What do you think of the web browser. Can you see yourself using it? let us know in the comments.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
