Microsoft is slowly opening up about the Spartan browser, their newest creation which they hope will open up a new browsing experience for users and replace the legacy Internet Explorer.
As well as the associated baggage of the classic, and often under fire browser.
The software titan forked the Trident engine to open up the doors for this modern creation, and now a company engineer, Jacob Rossi, has shared some interesting new details about the underlying rendering engine that powers Spartan.
It primarily tackles the insider story of the development process, and how Redmond hopes this new browser will replace Internet Explorer in the coming future.
One popular question that was asked was when users will be able to test this new browser, and according to Rossi, it will be a few months until everyone get a chance take Spartan for a spin — both users and developers.
Microsoft is actually trying to distance itself from the bugs, hacks and dirty workarounds that developers had to employ for Internet Explorer. Ask any web developer and you’ll get an idea of the lengths they had to go to get their websites working for IE.
Anyway, after forking the engine, the software titan begun deleting lots of legacy code, leaving it with a slim and smart solution perfectly capable for modern platforms and web standards.
The article above is a good read that dives into the path Redmond had to take to deviate from the past, and develop a solution that ultimately brings more users to the Bing search platform.
