Yahoo axis browser

Talking abt the axis browser on the desktop as said in the site it just acts as a visual search engine and with book mark options. The pages apper in tiles by giving a projection of images in them of how the site would look. This was a smart move by yahoo i would say as this plug in can be plugged into any bwoser on the desktops and notebooks. So that's catchy but there are some problems i would like to mention about.

1. When on another serach engine this doesnt load (when i open my chrome, google is my home page and from there it doesnt work)

2. For a deep search its a little time consuming to keep passing on to tiles as we are not able to get the time or date of post like we get on bing or google. Thus tough to know whick one is the latest posted

3. Personally am not so moved over by this axis plugin rather they could have made this a  seperate browser that could have been from seeing what yahoo axis could offer over this plug-in.

4. No talks about the availability for android is really bad as that's one of the most used operating system world wide

5. This plug-in appears to the left bottom of the page and when tapped grows full length and when we start typing raises up to show the visual search. But the problem is as i mentioned abt the not working part where google was open and so i opened another site and till that site got completely loaded this axis plugin didnt surface. I haven't tried on a blank page.

But there are advantages too

1. There is a top trending button right below the search bar that might help the users to get most of the times what they need whick is a good feature on the topic we search

2. Even with the axis we can login to keep our package safe, i must say thats really good for a plug in, sometimes when we find some other browser better than what we use and we like this axis we can import all we had on the other browser's plugin just by a sign-in like importing bookmarks and all we got in it like how we do with google chrome signing-into chrome using gmail to save and sync all bookmarks and imortant stuff with the mail id is real cool

3. Its predective loading feature so like from 18v of the chrom really does a good job giving quicker and better choice to search up on

Verdict: for me i would have preffered a browser over just a plug in. Its good but no so impressive on a browser. Its fun for while but i find google better over the search engines. For a change axis is really awesome.
