Windows 10: Spartan

Discus and support Spartan in Browsers and Email to solve the problem; Frankly, no sarcasm to you, I am not surprised it is fast - it has no useable features yet, to speak of. Holds promise? Those dozens of programming... Discussion in 'Browsers and Email' started by Dude, Mar 30, 2015.

    Frankly, I think you're underestimating the amount of effort it takes to build an entirely new web browser from scratch. The fact that it's already so relatively complete, HTML rendering wise is amazing. So the chrome is still being worked on. So the various app features are buggy... the important part is how it renders web pages, and that seems to be top notch, uses a bare minimum of resources (10-15MB per page? Wow!) and it's super fast.

    How fast it renders is has nothing to do with all the other stuff around it, like having a working download manager, or links bar that works correctly.

    It's far from a preview. A preview is something that works and just need some tweaking. This one barely works at all. Some functions are "coming soon". It's very raw.

    The concept is very good. Most of us here are expecting something better than that. It's even a pain posting a reply here using that thing.
    I tested the preview of Maxthon Nitro and Vivaldi. That my friend is what you call a "preview". Not this.

    It seems to be working better today for me. It is pretty fast, hoping the next build brings more features to it

    You have an incorrect understanding. This is a "Technical Preview", which means that it's pre-beta. It's basically alpha level. It means it's basically only ready for the most technical people to play with to get an idea of what's coming.

    No, you have an incorrect definition of a preview. You said "to get an idea", that means it's a conceptual release. A concept is something abstract and raw. And that is what the Spartan is right now. So it's not a preview. It's a concept. An interactive concept that's why it is very limited in functionality.

    Has anyone found a way to import bookmarks? Have been using Chrome, so I had no IE bookmarks for it to carry over...

    I noticed that you can't drag a tab to move/open a new window. Right-click is the only option.

    If the window is not maximized, it is translucent. Probably a way of telling the user that he/she is not seeing the whole picture and needs to side scroll.

    I meant the scroll bar track lets through the web page color and content, maximized or not. Also the scroll bar fades out if you're not moving your cursor.

    2 examples:

    What's Spartan's final name going to be? Is that still up in the air?

    I thought there was still rumors it was going to be 'Edge', or 'Spartan Edge'.
    Makes a little bit of sense:
