Microsoft Announces Internet Explorer Successor: Project Spartan

|

In an effort to win over the likes of Google and Firefox, Microsoft on Wednesday unveils Project Spartan, the tech giant's new web browser. This would be the first time when the Redmond-based Microsoft is distancing itself from its ill-fated Internet Explorer.

 

The firm's new web browser, codenamed Spartan, will indeed replace Internet Explorer as a default Windows browser. Spartan is basically based on Microsoft's Trident rendering engine, which is also found in Internet Explorer.
