Uninstall Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, 10 (2024)

It's been a while since we first heard about Microsoft's Project Spartan, the new web browser for Windows 10 that will replace Internet Explorer. We also knew that Project Spartan was just a codename for the web browser and that the company would reveal its real name at some point. So the wait is over, during the BUILD 2015 keynote, the software giant just revealed that the new web browser is called "Microsoft Edge."

It's a little surprising that the name has been catching our eye all this time. If you remember, the new web browser's rendering engine is also called "EDGE" and it seems that Microsoft has chosen the same for its Internet Explorer replacement.

During the BUILD keynote, Microsoft demonstrated the Edge web browser, and while the software still features the same flat, minimalist, and modern design with Cortana integration and digital ink support for annotating web pages, the company unveiled a new "New Tab" page with new ways to explore other things. In the demo, the company showed off a "New Tab" with topical links in the form of tiles and a series of widgets that users can customize to get the latest news, weather information, recommended apps to try, and more.
