So it turns out they accidentally included their certificate private key inside the Chrome extension package: https://twitter.com/nikcub/status/205489752684765185 Edit: just created a fake package and signed it: https://github.com/nikcub/yahoo-spoof
Not supported for my operating system. (I run Linux.) I thought this was a browser plugin?
A lot of people here are negatively judging this product on the basis that it's from Yahoo. I think that's extremely premature and close-minded. Give it a chance will you? I personally think the iPad app is fantastic. The ability to pull down search results and visually see their content was a great idea and I think this makes Axis much more appealing to use over Safari. I think I'm actually going to replace Safari w…
Agreed. All the hate is unnecessary. Give it 5 minutes before pilling on Yahoo and the past decisions of it's board. The idea of taking browsing with you is nice feature that Im suprised hasn't been implemented so well by other operating system / browsers. As such, I'd expect Windows8 and WindowsPhone8 to have tight integration and hopefully have features like this.

On iOS it is actually a browser. You are being dismissive without even knowing the facts. Additionally, Yahoo! has never called it Chrome killer.
I bet you on iOS it's a UIWebView.

Three Reasons why I uninstalled it:
1) It gave me useless trending search results every time I expanded the search bar (I don't care who won American Idol.)
2) It required a Yahoo account to create bookmarks (I understand this is probably necessary for them, but I would have liked it to just use my existing chrome bookmarks.)
3) I'm happy with Google and DuckDuckGo search results.
I would love this kind of tool if it integrated with my existing google account and allowed me to customise it further. Obviously that wouldn't be in Yahoo's interest.
Great opportunity for another developer without vested interests to take the idea and improve on it.

I don't know what kind of damage you can cause with this information, but I do think that posting this publicly was pretty unethical. You should have contacted Yahoo and then disclosed the information after. EDIT: And here comes the downvotes. If you disagree with what I said then you really should post a response because you're preventing me from understanding why I might be wrong. If I knew your house door was unlo…

It does completely redefine the way you search the web. It's changing search results from text to thumbnails. That will be totally useless in many circumstances, but could be useful in some.
