At end of December, Microsoft was rumored to be working on a new browser for Windows 10. Today, the browser that is codenamed as Spartan has been leaked in screenshots.
The leaked screenshots shows the first look of the Spartan browser but as the images are blurry and small we cannot decipher much. Apparently, the image of the browser loading the Facebook page were fake. As stated earlier, the browser looks similar to Chrome and Firefox. The report further says that Spartan browser will have a “reading mode” button that “strips out the text of an article and makes it easier to read the content on a page.”
Share and Folder icon are situated next to the reading icon that makes it easy to share content on the internet. At the right side we can see three small dots that are for settings. The Spartan browser has a borderless window that allows the content to spread from edge to edge. Touted as lightweight, the browser will use Microsoft’s Chakra JavaScript engine and Trident rendering engine instead of WebKit. The report states that the new Spartan browser will be bundled with the desktop and mobile versions of the forthcoming Windows 10 OS.
