The successor to the Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the Project
Spartan browser, will support extensions like other rival browsers as
per the IE Dev Team. The team might also bring the browser to Windows 7.
Microsoft's
Project Spartan browser was unveiled
recently at the company's Next Chapter for Windows 10 event last week.
The
announcement of extension support in Microsoft's Project Spartan browser
came from the Internet Explorer Developers Team, who on Tuesday as a
part of the #AskIE chat posted, "Yes. We're
working on a plan for extensions for a future update to Project
Spartan."
Very little is known about the upcoming extension
support right now. However, sources close to the matter suggest that
Microsoft might also be planning to make Google Chrome extensions work
on its Spartan browser, as per
ZDNet.
The Internet Explorer Developer Team in another tweet
posted that while the Spartan browser is exclusive to Windows 10 for
now, it might also arrive on Windows 7 OS if they see a demand. "Spartan
is currently targeted at Win10. We're focused on getting ppl upgraded
(free) but will watch Win7 demand," the account posted.
For
those unaware, Microsoft's latest Spartan browser is based on the
company's new rendering engine named Edge, which is the forked version
of Internet Explorer's Trident engine. At the time of Microsoft's 'The
Next Chapter' event, we saw few Spartan features including Cortana
integration, reading list with synchronisation, and web page annotation.
However, a lot still remains to be seen and heard about the browser,
which is yet to become a part of the Windows 10 Preview Builds.
