Computer store news: Maybe even Microsoft realizes that this is gradually becoming "all browsers for downloading Chrome or Firefox" has become the coming year The most important product of Windows 10 is a big weakness. According to ZDNet, Microsoft is about to launch a new browser.

A new browser codenamed "Spartan" is expected to be released with Windows 10. Thomas Nigro is a developer of the famous player VLC and a member of the MSP project. Earlier on Twitter, he revealed that he had heard that Microsoft is preparing to launch a new browser.

It is said that the new Microsoft browser will be closer to the opponents Chrome and Firefox in terms of experience, not only is it lighter than IE, but also supports the extension plugin. Of course, for compatibility reasons, "Spartan" will still be based on Microsoft's Chakra JavaScript engine and Trident rendering engine (non-WebKit).

But ZDNet author Mary Jo Foley learned from people who know that this browser will not be called IE12, and may even not use the Internet Explorer brand at all. Of course, it is still too early to say that Microsoft is adopting a brand new brand in the next generation of browsers, but it is also mentioned that as early as this year, the IE development team mentioned in a Reddit online interview that Microsoft is actively considering replacing this one.

2. It is reported that Spartan will be unveiled at the Windows 10 conference on January 21 of the following year. However, according to the current development progress of Spartan, it is still a mystery.

2.1. Is it possible for Spartan to log in to non-Windows platforms such as iOS and Android? Earlier, the IE team said that they did not plan to port IE to other platforms. However, they are talking about “IE”.
