New Screenshots Detail Spartan Web Browser For Windows 10 Smartphones

MojoKid writes One of the most anticipated new features in Windows 10 is the Spartan web browser, which will replace the long-serving Internet Explorer. We've seen Spartan in action on the desktop/notebook front, but we're now getting a closer look at Spartan in action on the mobile side thanks to some newly leaked screenshots. Perhaps the biggest change with Spartan is the repositioning of the address bar from the bottom of the screen to the top (which is also in line with other mobile browsers like Safari and Chrome). The refresh button has also been moved from its right-hand position within the address bar to a new location to the left of the address bar. Reading Lists also make an appearance in this latest build of Spartan along with Microsoft's implementation of "Hubs" on Windows 10 for mobile devices.

Re: Because you call it Spartan instead of IE

Here is an idea, how about yes, let forget about the past until give spartan a try for while before you rip it apart. The product hasn't gone gold yet and you are already complaining about it.

Man, it's MSIE we're talking about, can't we complaint about MSIE anymore?

The constant complaints about this or that browser has gotten old and no one cares any more. You are not even forced to use spartan, just install something else.

Nobody is forced to install MSIE, oh wait!
