According to sources from ZDNet , Microsoft is developing a new browser to replace the ubiquitous but often maligned Internet Explorer . This new Windows browser appointed internal "Spartan" , seems to be something completely new, since it is not based at all on Internet Explorer.
If this is surprising given the time that Microsoft is stuck with Internet Explorer, it's not shocking. This could allow the technology giant to make a browser that is closer to Chrome and Firefox.
For the record, Internet Explorer had a life sawtooth, from a zero market share at heights dominating the market before slowing following the arrival of Firefox, and be completely in decline after popularization of Chrome. Today, the browser has again increased, especially after Microsoft is taking a standards-based approach. Is this going to be enough to restore its reputation after the slap that the browser plug with IE6? This remains an interpretation. Anyway, Microsoft certainly wants his browser is gaining market share, especially on the new platform Windows 10 it hopes to roll on smartphones, and other devices such as TVs.
Future revelations
If the currently available version of Windows 10 (Technical Preview) includes Internet Explorer, it has been reported that it was an older version that would be replaced when the operating system is formalized. Creating a new browser from scratch might explain why Microsoft did not want to pick a new version of IE in the current builds advanced users.
However, the new browser will certainly use JavaScript and rendering engine from Microsoft that are respectively Chakra and Trident , rather than the traditional WebKit, as IE does. In other words, Microsoft will build a faster browser, which keeps the simplest use of the rendering engine of Internet Explorer. In addition, Windows 10 could be launched Spartan, and the existing version of Internet Explorer 11 (or a small update) for reasons of backward compatibility.
Finally, other information released by ZDNet, is the fact that this browser will be compatible with third-party extensions . In other words, it could catch face delay in Chrome and Firefox.
"Spartan" is currently just a code name, but we should learn more about the browser when Microsoft will take the stage to discuss Windows 10 in a few days.
