Update on the latest build of Windows 10, and some cautions for developers.

I'm pretty psyched to try out Spartan.

Is it named Spartan because of its cheap, rugged efficiency or something?

I’d like to have a browser that had a button I could push that said “we’ll stop all that added crap you get from web pages you don’t want”. We won’t let any embedded video/audio clips load (we’ll load them into trash) and those popups will get put in a folder to trash spam the sender via Outlook after you log off.

Stuff like that. I don’t want Chrome Bars, Google bars, hints, instructions and twenty gazillion boxes popping up asking me if I’m sure I want to do that? I don’t wanna track my steps, heartbeats, blood pressure or mood, look at ways to save money, buy cheaper insurance or find a date.

Just the URL without all the crap. Can Spartan do that?

[Review] Spartan, The New Web Browser in Windows 10 ...

There's more than Spartan in Windows 10 build 10049

Came across a statement by Ben Franklin from his autobiography that freeware developers may agree with,

“… as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.” - http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/05/ben-franklin-facts/
