San Francisco: Wrapped under secretive ‘Project Spartan’ so far, Microsoft has unveiled future looking Edge as its new web browser, which would eventually replace the existing internet Explorer.
Edge, Microsoft officials argued, is lighter and faster than internet Explorer and comes with new features like a built-in notation tool, a distraction-free reading mode, and website information from Cortana, a personal voice-assistant app for Windows.
“Microsoft Edge is the browser built for Windows 10, and it will be available on the widest range of Windows 10 devices,” Joe Belfiore, Corporate vice president, operating systems group at Microsoft Wednesday said at Build 2015, a conference of developers. So far Edge was wrapped under secrecy and was called Project Spartan. But not so any more, Belfiore said.
