Windows 10 to Replaces Internet Explorer with New Spartan Browser

Internet Explorer always had a bad impression
on it’s users and developers but with the release of internet explorer 11 in
windows 8, Microsoft finally have develiered a flexible browsing experience to
internet explorer users with a great appealing user interface. But the recent
release of Mac OS x Yosemite Microsoft top competitor Apple has took over the
race with the latest update of safari by adding
tremendous features that are’nt supported by any third party browsers
yet.
Thomas Nigro, a
Microsoft Student Partner also lead developer of latest version of VLC media
player has recently tweeted that Microsoft has been building a brand new
browser for windows 10. Okay so Microsoft will be building a brand new browser
and it will not be named Internet Explorer 12. According to ZDNet’s Mary Jo
Foley its code name is Spartan and it will have the capability to support
extensions. Its user interface will be likely similar to chrome and firefox or
we could also imagine that it could be a combination of both. Microsoft has
also reported that Spartan browser will be more lighter and flexible than
internet explorer.
Spartan browser
with make its debut on all windows platform including windows mobile too, Foley
also suggested that Spartan may also be available on Android and iOS, but
spartan does’nt use Webkit it uses Microsoft’s Chakra Javascript Engine so it
will not be accepted in Apple App store because :
According to
apple’s guideline “all apps should iOS
webkit framework”.
Althought we
can’t claim that it would be surely named Spartan, it’s just a codename for now
and it can be updated anytime before the
release of windows 10. With the start menu back in windows 10 the preview
version has been appreciated very well, so it would be more exciting to see the
other features of Spartan browser.
On 21 january,
Microsoft is going have an press event in Microsoft’s Redmond Campus,
Washington where we could get more additional information related to Windows 10
as well as Spartan browser.
