Microsoft Showcases Spartan Browser Mobile UI

Spartan Interface Mobile

Finally, some more insights into the Spartan browser. Microsoft showed off the basic workings of this new app at the Windows 10 event yesterday, and now the company is back with details.


Project Spartan is, of course, the codename not the final branding of this new browser.


And as the company details it on the official Internet Explorer blog, Spartan is designed to work on all Windows 10 devices and comes with a new rendering engine. It will retain legacy support for enterprise use by utilizing the IE11 engine, though.


But it will only be used for old websites and software that require that engine — modern websites will be render on the new engine.


The post goes into all manner of details regarding Spartan, including the performance enhancements on offer with the new engine, which will be default for Windows 10. No major surprises there. What is delightful surprising is the refreshing new user interface for mobile that Redmond is using.


As the images below show, the browser comes with both dark and light themes:

On the whole, the UI is appropriately modern, as one would expect, with clean and clear icons and uncluttered placement. Not final, obviously, but looking good at this stage.


Spartan will not arrive with the new preview build of Windows 10 that launches next week, so we’ll have to wait a while to get first impressions. But this is a new adventure for Microsoft, and the company is finally leaving Internet Explorer (and its associated baggage) behind.


More of this, please.
