Microsoft is working on a new web browser, currently known as Spartan. Recently leaked screenshots gave us our first look at the internet software in its early stages, and today we have a little more information about what's to come. According to Neowin, Spartan will replace the current modern version of Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1 and will be the web browser that the company will roll out to all Windows devices.

Windows 10 Build 10049: Project Spartan + new apps, features and changes
Microsoft plans to make Spartan the primary web browser on all platforms that run Windows, including desktop PCs, tablets, phones (Windows 10 Mobile), and eventually even Xbox One. And it will be a Windows Store app, not a tool attached to the operating system like Internet Explorer.
The report also claims that Spartan will support Adobe Flash, but this will be limited to certain versions as Flash support depends on the device used.
Spartan won't be a universal app at first. Microsoft will provide a version for the desktop version of Windows 10 and another for phones and tablets. Both versions will include similar features and will be updated regularly.
