Way to steal from Apple
It’s not an sucessor, it’s a whole new project…
So the first to r on safari wow just another copy
if chrome just stops eating my ram gradually on long periods of time, that’ll be great. still on chrome’s side though, but i’ve tried firefox, it was good —- but instead of eating ram gradually, it was slowing down gradually.… what’s up with these browsers and time-usage?
“Project Spartan.” ” Cortana”. Sounds like we got some developers who are big fans of Halo. New browser name probably will be related to it…
What’s the music? Does it have a name or just some royalty free thing?
Touchscreen on laptop still look awkward. Improve the trackpad is the way to go.
People are just gonna use spartan to draw dicks on Web pages
so.…..all they did was rename IE?
And here goes all of the people saying how Chrome is way better than Project Spartan with out it even being close to a finished product yet.
Anyone know what kind of laptop he is using?
Features are nice and all, but first of all is speed! :
what’s up with that very odd background tune?
microsoft needs to take spartan as seriously as google takes chrome if it wants it to be popular, and that’s a huge investment. it means an insane amount of people. and microsoft won’t get help from the open source community. we’ll find out soon whether microsoft wants spartan to be a safari, a chrome, or something in between. but compromise is a bad business strategy.
I’ll stick with my fast, rock solid stable smooth Google chrome.
I was expecting you to compare it with safari..
All hail the new-coming “Master Browser”!
cool tune
I wanna see more of this guy, he seems to be less pro-apple than most of the other reporters at the verge
The name is not the problem. The problem is IE is a crappy browser. Yes you can browse with it but do you really want to? Slow in every aspect without big changes under the hook for years.
@TheWangPro well maybe once it’s out
Fuck Microsoft. They can suck my ass. They have raped everything in my life with shitty software for too long. I won’t take it anymore. Their browser can fuck off it’s just a fucking re-brand of the old shitty browser.
@Илья Найдов they can fuck off. Does IE11 not have compatibility mode?
LOVE the concept of Reading View, so tired of ads
What’s up with the background music. It’s really bad…
Waiting to see how extensions will be like.
So far the features should doesn’t interest me.
This doesn’t change how many people use versions as old as ie 6 which have bad support for html5 and css3 features and make innovative web development a nightmare as a result…
Still freakin’ touch optimized.
hey that reading view looks really interesting! hopefully they can integrate it with complementary/supplementary videos/images that are intended by the author rather than just text purely
What laptop is he using?
That wobbly screen is driving me nuts. What’s the fun and ease of use in a screen that wobbles when you touch it? This is why hybrid laptops shouldn’t be a thing.
I still don’t understand why they need to dump out IE and start a brand new browser. And also why people are so excited on this. UI isn’t that great just like IE. I still like IE’s minimalist and simple UI. Why can they just rebuild IE, scrap the old engine then inject the “Edge” engine so browser will be alot faster. Then the Cortana integration right in the address bar, Reading list on the star button. And built in annotating feature from OneNote. It’s much like a rebrand. They’re already giving up on MS grandest child when IE is already recovering from it’s bad past.
probably no one will use it .:)
I don’t really care about any of the new features in Project Spartan. I’m just happy they realized they need to build a new, sleek browser to compete with Firefox and Chrome. I’ve tried using IE and they’ve really improved a lot from IE9 onwards. But it still falls behind Firefox and Chrome in my opinion.
I like what I’ve experienced with Spartan so far, but am waiting for add-ons to be enabled (the setting is there, but not turned on yet) before I use Spartan heavily. Need my adblock.
Spartan and Windows 10 seem to show Microsoft is getting its mojo back. Both are still in beta, but are very solid so far.
This is better than chrome which means no need for chrome! 🙂
What computer is he using?
It looks amazing but I’m still gonna be using Chrome 😀
Let’s call it Internet Explorer 13! Why not 12? Because 12 was released with Windows 9. And only Bill Gates has a copy of that OS.
Oh great, so now we’ve got another shitty IE basically.
le mec s’appel la bite quoi ! mdrr !!! x)
First in 2022
