Microsoft has officially announces that it will use a new name for its upcoming browser successor and is phasing out the Internet Explorer.

The news came at the annual Microsoft Convergence conference in Atlanta. Chief marketing officer Chris Capossela revealed that the company is developing for a new name and brand for its latest browser under a codenamed 'Project Spartan'. Microsoft failed to change the negative image of Internet Explorer over the past several years and this could be the signal to begin a new era.

However, Internet Explorer won't be completely gone. It will still exist as a default browser in some versions of Windows 10 models to ensure compatibility .

Microsoft is clearly working about the names with market research and it's unclear when the company plans to unveil the final name for its Internet Explorer successor.
