Walkthrough of New Edge Browser with Windows 10. Microsoft has released its new browser, Spartan, with the newest Windows 10 preview build, 10049.

I’ve installed the new Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10049, and you can find the Spartan browser pinned to the Windows 10 Taskbar!! The picture is below.

Walkthrough of New Edge Browser with Windows 10—The Spartan icon is similar to the globe. I don’t think that is a great or innovative icon for a great browser. 🙁 I’ve another post that explains Spartan: “Windows 10 Spartan: The New Internet Browser is Suspended.”

Clicking on the Spartan browser gives me a look and feel of Windows 10 modern or Windows universal applications. See below… I’ve noticed that the temp files of the Spartan browser are stored in the user profile. In My case, the temp location for Spartan was the following. I would perform further research on what type of data is stored

As Microsoft showed in the demo, we can edit and post comments on live websites and save or share them if we want. The editing tool works very well in my testing.

Microsoft didn’t forget to give the Windows Universal app/settings feel in Spartan Internet browser settings. I love it !! You can see options to turn Cortana on and off in the settings. But for India, Cortana is still not enabled. So, I don’t have the option to turn Cortana on or off in the Spartan browser.

What is the version of the Spartan browser? You can also see in the settings Project Spartan version 0.10.10049.0!

Press F12 to launch developer tools from the Spartan browser. You can see all those details there, like performance, coding, Console, Memory, Network, etc. I felt like this part was similar to Chrome 🙂 But better!!

Reading View in the Spartan browser is also excellent. It allows you to read a PDF or Word document without any distractions of sidebars. I tried the F3 search in Spartan, and it works well.
