Yahoo Axis "Browser" Gets a Close Button, Performance Enhancements

A couple of months ago, Yahoo made quite a stir with a brand new "browser." The browser is nothing more than a browser add-on on the desktop and a search app with browsing functionality on mobile devices, but once you get past that, the app is quite interesting, at least as interesting as anything Yahoo put out lately.

Now it's getting an update with some tweaks and improvements. The big new feature, if you can call it that, on the desktop is a close button.

Now, if you want to simply close the Yahoo Axis panel and continue browsing unhindered you can simply click on the 'x' button on the right side.

Performance has been a focus for the team since the initial launch and the new Yahoo Axis 1.1 should be faster and more responsive than the version it's replacing.
