Microsoft is Rumored to be Developing a New Web Browser for Windows 10.
Fresh information which very recently surfaced suggests that Microsoft is developing a new internet browser for Windows 10, which is code-named “Spartan” but is not Internet Explorer 12 which typically was being expected to drop along with Windows 10. They aim to make Spartan look and feel more like other popular browsers like Mozilla’s Firefox and Google’s Chrome by making it support extensions and upgrading the UI.

Despite the changes, Spartan is still going to use Microsoft' Chakra’s JavaScript engine and Microsoft's Trident rendering engine unlike other browsers like safari which uses webkit and Chrome which uses a upgraded modification of webkit, as reported by ZDNet
According to the report if they are correct, we should be expecting Windows 10 (at least the desktop version) to ship with both Spartan and Internet Explorer 11 and Spartan will be available for both desktop and mobile (phone/tablet) versions of Windows 10.
Microsoft has an event fixed for January 21 where it is expected to unveil more details about Windows 10. ZDNet also reports that Spartan is just a code name for the new browser project for now and don’t know what Microsoft plans to call it when it is released or if will be functional enough for inclusion in the Windows 10 January Technical Preview and mobile preview builds that are expected to be available to testers in early 2015, as they are not sure.
If it will be made available at some point to other non-Windows OS is not clear for now but the possibility can’t be ruled out as Microsoft for some time now has been releasing much of its software and services to non-Windows OS.
