Yahoo axis was launched today and has received some Great response and it is being downloaded and used worldwide now on iPhone & iPad and also major browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet explorer, Safari in form of Plugins and add-ons.



Yahoo Axis


This news was actually not officially announced first and rather Leaked by Launch via the following email which states the following content -


Yahoo! Axis is a new browser that redefines what it means to search and browse- enabling a seamless search experience on your iPhone, iPad, and even your desktop.  Here are some highlights of how Yahoo! Axis brings search to life in a whole new way:


Smarter, Faster Search with Rich Design: Get instant answers and visual previews so you can continuously discover and explore content without interruption. Never leave the page you are on to view your search results again.


Connected Experience: Move seamlessly across devices, picking up wherever you left off as you move across your desktop, iPhone, and iPad. Recently visited sites, searches, saved articles, and bookmarks are automatically accessible across all your devices.


Personal Home Page: Get direct access to your favorite sites and content across all your devices with the customizable Home Page.


Various users are searching for direct Download links and are unable to find them but here i will make things here simple and tell you about how to Download it on various platforms.

Yahoo's Axis is available as an Application in iTunes store for both iPad and iPhone and users of these 2 products can simply download them via here.


All the users who are looking to use it on their desktops, here is something which i would like to clear. Yahoo's axis browser is not available as a individual desktop browser following the standard procedure of downloading and installing it rather it has been made available as Plugins for Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet explorer, Safari . That is if you are  a Firefox user it will be a add-on for you, If you are a Google chrome user it will be an extension for you and so on!

For using it on Desktop, Simply visit the Yahoo Axis Homepage and click on Get it Know for Desktop, you will be prompted for agreeing to the terms and conditions and then the browser will be installed.


The Browser is yet to debut on Android and Windows Phone, which should be happening soon. However no clear chances of Blackberry OS launch are there.

If you want to remove or face some issues with it simply follow the Following Guides for removing the add-on from Browser, Here are the instructions-




Remove Safari Plug-ins- Go to Preferences, then Extensions tab, see if it is there& click uninstall. I am attaching a screen-shot as a user was facing some problems.

If you still face some issues or need some further help, Comment below and i'll get back asap to you.





This is something of a shocking news and has been over the whole Tech world, Yahoo has certainly amazed everyone out here by Launching a New Browser with extensive search features naming it Axis.

Yahoo's Axis Browser


Axis Browser is available for iPad and iPhone as an application already, though android version is yet to be seen. The interesting thing that one could feel is for desktop versions there is not a standalone app one can download and install and use just like other normal browsers, instead it is available in the form of plugins as it says as an Add-on for Firefox, Extension for Google Chrome and so on Internet explorer, Safari!

The biggest change that this search browser presents is to cut off and remove the middlemen of stream of links when one types a search query and display the thumbnails which would directly take to the desired and selected webpage saving time. You can click on desired thumbnail and would be taken to the webpage directly.

 The search box is presented at the bottom which you can quickly use to carry out your searches.

Yahoo's Axis Browser

The browser does not support Flash and is expected to feature soon on Android and Windows Phone. Windows 8 would also see a revamped version of this.

The Axis toolbar has sharing facilities where you can share your desired webpages to twitter,pinterest,via email etc.

So is that something Yahoo needed? Can Axis turn the Axis of Yahoo?

Firefox 12 was release across just a few time back and in no time Firefox with its Latest release cycle is back with a New Firefox 13 beta version for Developers to Download and use.

The 2 really Major improvements in this new Beta are as follows -

1) Default SPDY protocol

Leaving behind the days of HTTP protocol Firefox 13 would have enabled SPDY protocol by default which would work on making browsing more secure and providing fast loading on websites that support SPDY networking.
SPDY Protocol is seen as the next thing after HTTP protocol which is intended to reduce the loading time of a webpage considerably and provide users with a faster browsing experience.

2) New Tab Page


Firefox 13 Most Visited


If you happen to be a Chrome or Opera user then you must know one of the best feature being its Default Tab pages which sorts up,combines and shows the Most Visited websites every time a New Tab is opened to allow you one click access saving your time. Whenever you will open a new tab you will be shown your most visited webpages.

Apart from these 2 New inclusions Firefox has added some more enhancements in this version which includes "Tabs on demand" while restoring a session and many bug fixes and improvements to Web Developer tools with a New Home page.

Tabs on Demand

Till today when i had not used and upgraded to Firefox 13 Beta i had that thing also happening whenever i lost my session with a lot of tabs and tried restoring it started loaded all the tabs but not anymore. With Tabs on demand it allows user to demand the tabs which they want to open, Fair enough ?

New Default Home Page

The Home page now includes Downloads,Bookmarks, History, Add-ons,Sync and Settings links to provide a quicker and direct access.

Firefox 13 Home Page

Apart from that for developer as said in the blog-post,"Page Inspector now allows you to lock in CSS pseudo-classes on inspected page elements and Style Editor now saves CSS files loaded via file:// URLs without prompting to make the workflow for experimenting with CSS much quicker".

Since April 9 and more effectively from Yesterday 4:00 PM (IST) If you are an Indian user of Opera Mini with Tata Docomo as your Internet Service Provider then you must have seen issues and cases in your friend circles and community that you are unable to use Opera Mini browser for browsing web .

When i called customer care i was informed that Tata Docomo is doing some kind of Testing with Opera Mini or vice versa and all Tata Docomo customers will not be able to use till April 13 ,2012 .

They have promised to fix the issue by April 13 and that is the deadline the support has . I tried my best to dig down into but they reverted most times with saying there is some problem from back-end and we all would have to wait till April 13 to get back to use Opera Mini .

I was trying to solve the issues with all basic troubleshooting steps before contacting them as even i was unable to use it on my Android but now we have no choice to wait .

Basic Troubleshooter Steps even after the due date this issue is not fixed -

1) Clear your browser cookies and cache .
2) Remove the Browser and Re-install it again .
3) Check your Internet settings and make sure you have selected "TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET" as APN for browsing the web .

  4. After that move to Advanced Settings and put TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET as the apn.
  5. Press OK.

  5. After that Select Access-  Access point setting- Bearer Settings- Packet Data access point and put the apn as  "TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET" . You are almost done , Press OK and skip all other options .
  6. Return to Personal Configuation where you will see "TATA DOCOMO INTERNET" , Press Option-and then Activate.

Apart from that you guys can use UC Browser as an alternative or turn to your Default mobile browser .

Please comment below if you need any help regarding GPRS settings from me and i would be there to help you ou. Even if after these 3 basic issues your browser does not start to function call TATA DOCOMO customer service at 121.
