Since Microsoft has announced Gazelle, talks have heated up over whether Microsoft is planning to retire its legendary web browser "Internet Explorer".

JCXP. net has claimed that Internet Explorer 8 is going to the last traditional version of Microsoft's web browser, as the development of the company's new web browser is underway under the Microsoft Research project called "Gazelle".

Microsoft announced Gazelle, a proposed web browser in early 2009. Microsoft has said that its new web browser based on its project "Gazelle" would have capabilities similar to those of an operating system. In the terms of security, the new web browser would be safer, and in the terms of speed, the new web browser would be faster than all the web browsers on the market.

Microsoft's project Gazelle researchers feel that Google's Chrome, Internet Explorer, and other web browser are insufficient and they are aiming for more advance web browser. Gazelle researchers explain, "This granularity [in Chrome and IE8] is insufficient since a user may browse multiple mutually distrusting sites in a single tab, and a web page may contain an iframe with content from an untrusted site (e. g., ads)."

According to JCXP, Microsoft's next web browser will be based on its project Gazelle, and the company's new web browser will not sport the Internet Explorer name.
