Microsoft Announces Themuch Rumored Projectspartan Browser Forwindows by sdqumar(m): 8:59pm On Jan 24, 2015
One of the highlights of Microsoft’s Windows 10
event today was Project Spartan , the software
giant’s next generation Web browser. This will be
built into Windows 10, and according to company
execs you can expect to see it both on the desktop
version of the OS as well as on mobile devices.
Microsoft hasn’t yet told us if Spartan will replace
IE on Windows 10, but past rumors did mention
they’d both ship alongside each other, so perhaps
that’s what will happen.
Three main features of Spartan were introduced
today, but undoubtedly there’s more to come. And
even before we get into those, it’s obvious that the
new Microsoft-made browser looks more modern
than IE, in line with its competitors such as
Chrome and Firefox. The whole UI is simplified and
there are much less ‘chrome’ elements to be seen
(stuff that’s not actually part of the webpage you’re
looking at, that is). So that’s one step in the right
direction, clearly.
Based on the official image you can see above, it’s
also likely that Spartan will support themes,
though probably not by itself – we assume it’s
going to adapt its looks to the Windows theme you
currently have selected. The browser will also
come with built-in note-taking and sharing
features, allowing you to ‘select’ any part of a
webpage, annotate it, and then share it with your
friends or coworkers.
Project Spartan is going to get a reading mode
too. This will show you a distraction-free view of
the page you’re looking at, with nothing to get in
the way of a good reading experience. Think of it
like Microsoft’s interpretation of Safari’s Reader
Mode. Spartan will have a built-in reading list to
complement this mode, and this will be synced
across devices naturally.
Finally, Cortana will be inside Spartan, not just
Windows 10 as a whole. She will do things to
make your life on the Web easier, such as quickly
show you weather details, or give you more
information about places such as restaurants. She
will make the most of the information she has on
you, using it in ways that can help you find things
out quicker.
