New details and images of the Windows 10 Browser, Spartan which is currently being developed by Microsoft leaked to the internet.
The Spartan browser is interesting as it is a new start from the company that has realized that Internet Explorer has disappointed many people. Let's take a closer look at the brand-new Windows 10 browser that will appear to be the default browser. Images come from the well-known Russian windows leaker WZor.
Introduction
As you may already know, the new browser is a modern application. It is built on top of the Internet Explorer rendering engine, but the support προτύπων legacy έχει αφαιρεθεί από τον κινητήρα του Spartan. Αυτό του επιτρέπει να είναι γρήγορος και επικεντρώμένος μόνο στα web πρότυπα και τεχνολογίες. Αν και δεν έχει επιβεβαιωθεί, το Project Spartan αναμένεται να έχει ένα πιο ευέλικτο μοντέλο για προσcase addons. It comes with a modern title bar as you can see below:
Despite the fact that the application window has the ability changeof size, its height is limited. This is because all modern Windows 10 apps have a vertical size limit. As for the horizontal size of the window, you can set it to any width you want without any problems:
Tablet Mode Support
When you run Windows in Tablet mode, it hides the bookmarks bar and reduces the size of the top part of the window.
When the Tablet function is inactive, Spartan shows an additional bookmarks bar and a higher window top.
In the image below, you can see the bookmarks running on the desktop (left) and Tablet (right):
In Desktop mode, the top of Spartan takes up 256px from the window frame to the web page content. It is very tall. Unlike the Favorites bar, the Desktop version of Internet Explorer only takes up 85px. In Windows 7, with the menu bar, Favorites bar, Command Prompt, and tabs enabled in a separate row, the Desktop version of IE reaches 130px.
Menu and options
At this time, the Spartan browser has few choices and settings. For example, the browser's main menu only includes the following items:
New window - opens a new browser window (but not a new example!).
Zoom - adjusts the zoom option.
Share – share the page you opened using the default Share charm as in Windows 8.
Find - look for a specific text in the open tab.
Settings - Opens browser settings.
Each tab that opens has its own menu, as in any other browser.
As for the global settings of Spartan, you can see them in the picture below.
Here you can turn off or turn on the Favorites bar, tracking phone numbers, selecting SmartScreen, setting your own home page, and customizing the Read View options.
These are the only options that work at this stage, and the other options you see in the above figure have not worked.
Cortana mode
The Cortana feature may be the most anticipated feature of the upcoming Spartan browser as it makes it truly unique.
Cortana can help you find relevant information using the power of the Internet and the intelligence of Bing. Of course, joining Microsoft's browser is a pioneer. The information from Cortana will appear in a separate Spartan window after you have processed your application.

Close
The new browser is currently incomplete and is not ready for everyday use. It has stability problems and often hangs when many tabs open. It has nothing to do with Internet Explorer, so you will basically have two different browsers from Microsoft, each with their own settings and preferences. Spartan also does not support ActiveX.
Microsoft is about to announce the new default browser with the upcoming versions of Windows 10. It will not be surprising if they make IE optional.
