What Are Apps?

An App is a button on your Toolbar that gives you direct access to a Web page. The Apps on your Toolbar are similar to links in your browser’s Favorites or Bookmarks; clicking the button opens the associated Web page. The bonus is that most Apps have a menu with options that link you to a specific page within the website. For example, you can go straight to the compose page in Yahoo! Mail or go to the Dining Guide on Yahoo! Food.

App buttons display to the right of the WEB SEARCH button, and you can add, rearrange, and remove them as you like.
