Microsoft is developing a new web browser to replace Internet Explorer. The new browser, currently codenamed "Project Spartan," will include a number of unique features that will set it apart from its competitors, and it will be included as part of Windows 10 on all devices, including PCs, tablets, and phones.

Windows 10 Build 10049: Project Spartan + new apps, features and changes
During the Windows 10 press event, Joe Belfiore, head of the Windows product definition and design team at Microsoft, gave a detailed presentation of Spartan, highlighting the new user interface that fits perfectly with the design of the new Windows 10 apps and the new ability to group tabs. The company also showed off three unique features: digital inking to annotate web pages with a pen or add comments using the keyboard, a reader mode to clean up web pages, and Cortana built right into the web browser.
This is the first full presentation of Spartan, giving us a first look at what's to come. Microsoft plans to release a preview version of Spartan in the coming months, but the browser is not included in the latest version of Windows 10 (Build 9926).
One big detail that wasn't mentioned during the presentation was extensions, but the company has already confirmed that Spartan will offer support for extensions similar to those found in Google Chrome.
