"Spartan" is the codename of a web browser in development by Microsoft. It is expected to be bundled with Windows 10 as a successor to the Internet Explorer web browser.
Development
In December 2014, Mary Jo Foley reported that Microsoft was developing a new web browser codenamed "Spartan" for Windows 10. Although it will utilize versions of components used by Microsoft's previous web browser, Internet Explorer, such as Trident and the Chakra JavaScript engine, "Spartan" is expected to be treated as a new product separate from Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer 11 will be retained alongside it on Windows 10 for compatibility reasons, but will be deprecated in favor of "Spartan".[1]
In January 2015, BGR obtained a screenshot purportedly depicting a build of "Spartan",[2] and The Verge obtained further details from sources close to Microsoft.[3]
Features
"Spartan" will utilize a minimalistic user interface; a leaked screenshot showed similarities to Google Chrome.[2][3] "Spartan" will integrate with Microsoft online platforms: it will integrate with the Cortana assistant to provide voice control, search functionality, and dynamic information related to websites within the address bar. Users can make annotations to web pages that can be stored to and shared with OneDrive.[3] "Spartan" will have desktop, modern app, and Windows Phone versions, and share user interface elements between them.[3]
