Internet Explorer might have been
one of the programs most people have used in at least one point in their
lifetimes, but Microsoft says it is time to say goodbye to their good old
browser and say hello to a brand new one.
Microsoft has confirmed that the
brand is finally saying goodbye to the Internet Explorer and welcoming its new
browser under the codename Project Spartan, The
Verge reported.
Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela revealed that the company is still
researching on the name for their new browser.
Capossela presented the impact of
the brand's name over the customers as reflected on the data he presented
during the Microsoft Convergence on March 16, which means that the upcoming
browser may have the brand's name attached to it.
Also, Capossela said that
Microsoft's brand new browser will offer users a cleaner and more organized
look, with features like the Cortana integration.
Cortana Integration pretty much acts
like a virtual assistant. According to Digital
Trends, Cortana is a voice-activated assistant, which pops out
whenever and wherever you want it.
Users can ask Cortana a question or
ask for directions and Cortana will gladly search for the answer or route for
you.
The outlet also noted that Project
Spartan and Internet Explorer will still share similarities such as its look
and features.
While some Windows users might have
rejoiced over this news, the outlet cited that some versions of Windows 10 will
still contain the infamous IE.
Internet Explorer began losing its
popularity among Internet users since browsers such as Google Chrome and
Firefox came into the picture and offers users with a faster browsing
experience. Internet Explorer became known for being the root of some punch
lines, with some users saying that the only time they used the IE was when they
needed to install another browser.
