Internet Explorer might have been one of the programs most people have used in at least one point in their lifetimes, but Microsoft says it is time to say goodbye to their good old browser and say hello to a brand new one.
Microsoft has confirmed that the brand is finally saying goodbye to the Internet Explorer and welcoming its new browser under the codename Project Spartan, The Verge reported.
Microsoft's marketing chief Chris Capossela revealed that the company is still researching on the name for their new browser.
Capossela presented the impact of the brand's name over the customers as reflected on the data he presented during the Microsoft Convergence on March 16, which means that the upcoming browser may have the brand's name attached to it.
Also, Capossela said that Microsoft's brand new browser will offer users a cleaner and more organized look, with features like the Cortana integration.
Cortana Integration pretty much acts like a virtual assistant. According to Digital Trends, Cortana is a voice-activated assistant, which pops out whenever and wherever you want it.
Users can ask Cortana a question or ask for directions and Cortana will gladly search for the answer or route for you.
The outlet also noted that Project Spartan and Internet Explorer will still share similarities such as its look and features.
While some Windows users might have rejoiced over this news, the outlet cited that some versions of Windows 10 will still contain the infamous IE.
Internet Explorer began losing its popularity among Internet users since browsers such as Google Chrome and Firefox came into the picture and offers users with a faster browsing experience. Internet Explorer became known for being the root of some punch lines, with some users saying that the only time they used the IE was when they needed to install another browser.
