Microsoft s research unit is investing resources in a new Web browser that could eventually signal a shift away from the ubiquitous Internet Explorer. According to a research paper released this week, the project is called Gazelle and is positioned as a secure web browser constructed as a multi-principal operating system. The paper says Gazelle’s Browser Kernel is an operating system that exclusively manages resource protection and sharing across web site principals. This construction exposes intricate design issues that no previous work has identified, such as legacy protection of cross-origin script source.
