Troubleshooting, safari for windows download & run safari in windows…. if you must.

Safari for Windows

Some Windows users may wish to run the Apple Safari web browser on a Windows PC. Usually this is developers or designers who need to confirm compatibility or to support a particular end user experience with the older Safari PC browser.

Well there’s good news if that describes you; it turns out that you can download, install, and run Safari on Windows still, even running Safari on Windows 10. But there’s bad news too, and a bit of a catch: it’s an old version from 2012. This is because Apple discontinued development of Safari for Windows several years ago, and thus current Safari for Window version is dated, missing many features, isn’t up to date with security patches, and likely has some other issues too. Accordingly, it is not appropriate for most users to download and install Safari in Windows, but it is available if you need it for whatever reason.

The version of Safari for Windows you can still download and install is Safari 5.1.7 and it installs and runs on Windows 10 , Windows 8, or Windows 7 without incident. Despite being many versions behind what’s available on a Mac, Safari in Windows runs fine, though since it’s an earlier web browser version from some years ago you will find that some of the newer fancier rich web features are not supported, and there are numerous potential security flaws. This is not recommended to use by typical users or as a typical browser on a PC.

Only advanced users, developers, designers, and compatibility testers who specifically need Safari on Windows for a particular reason should bother to install and run Safari within Windows.

How to Download, Install, Run Safari in Windows

  • From a Windows PC, open any web browser and then visit this link at Apple.com:

http://appldnld.apple.com/Safari5/041-5487.20120509.INU8B/SafariSetup.exe

  • Choose to save the SafariSetup.exe

Save and download Safari for Windows

  • When SafariSetup.exe is finished downloading, choose to ‘Run’ the installer and walk through the typical Windows installer as usual

Run the Safari for Windows installer

  • Choose to install Safari for Windows, be sure to uncheck making it the default browser and avoid installing any other software with it – remember this is an old version

Install Safari for Windows

  • When Safari installation is complete, launch Safari in Windows, it is ready to use

Safari in Windows 10

Remember, this is an old version of Safari, it is not supported by Apple, it is no longer in development, and it has been abandoned. You’re entirely on your own if you want to run Safari in Windows. Don’t do anything important or serious with it, remember as an old version it is lacking many modern web technologies, it has not been patched for modern security and privacy issues, and there could be a host of other problems. This is really only for advanced users.

Why download and install Safari for Windows? Why run old Safari versions today?

You’re probably wondering, why bother downloading and installing Safari for Windows, when it hasn’t been supported or in active development for years? The answer for most users is; you don’t need it.

But, for other advanced users, like developers, designers, compatibility testers, support techs, and other similar situations, it can be necessary to have older browsers available for testing purposes or for supporting a particular client. That’s a bit like how some Mac users run old IE versions along with new releases of IE like Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge in Mac OS too for the same testing purposes – it’s not relevant for most people, but some need it for various reasons.

Should you use Safari for Windows full time? No, most certainly not. If you’re a Windows user in need of a web browser you would be better off running Edge, IE, Chrome, or Firefox, simply because those browsers are still maintained while Safari for Windows is not. Nonetheless, if you do need it, you can run Safari on a PC if you need to for whatever reason.

I WANT TO SING IN MY ICLOUD ON MY ANDROID PHONE YES NOW THANK YOU

You can login to iCloud.com with Android by using a web browser on the iCloud.com website

Safari on Windows is not necessary for that process.

How on earth would an old version of safari give a unified browsing experience

Safari is pretty much just a Apple browser, it has not supported its Windows browser for years now and has nothing for Android either. I think Apple needs to consider porting Safari to Windows again as well as offering up a Android version. Like Microsoft has done with Edge Chromium, porting your browser to more than just your native OS is a plus for cross platform users. I doubt Apple will ever do this, given its business model is to convince you to go all in on Apple’s walled garden and not stray from that.

Safari is a horrible browser and most developers I know loathe the Apple platform.

Well, Maybe we want safari because all the so called “modernized” browsers are blocking adobe products, you know, the products that are the core programming of most of our favorite site’s like kongregate and armorgames.

Here’s one reason : A good friend asked me if I could help him with a document he received via email, because he couldn’t open it. I asked him to transfer the whole email to me, and when I got it there was an attached file ending in ‘.webarchive’. Now you all know that there’s no Windows application that’s able to open a Mac web-archive with a single web-page in it. What would you do if you only had a Windows PC available ? Well, you’d likely as not attempt to open it with Safari, but you don’t have a Mac readily available … so you temporarily install Safari-for-Windows – it’s a lot faster than the installation of a virtual machine (using VirtualBox or VMWare or w.h.y.), then of MacOS. Once you’ve finished, you just remove your temporary Safari. QED

This is precisely why I need Safari for Windows: to be able to read all of my .webarchive files that I saved when using the earlier versions of Safari for Windows :)))). Thank you so much osxdaily for providing the link to the download. Shame on Apple for not doing so on their Safari support page for Windows. The files can be read with a text editor, but they do not display as a web page and one has to scroll down extremely far to get to the text one needs to read.

ditto, needed to access old webarchive files, couldn’t find a simpler way of doing it.

This is still better than the old version of windows explorer that you can get for macs.

I presume you meant Internet Explorer and not Windows Explorer.

Is there a way to in encrease the cache usage on safari?

I wonder why Apple killed off safari for windows? Lack of interest maybe? It’s pretty good for mac now.

Has anybody tried this and confirmed the download doesn’t include viruses? The URL looks fishy.

It’s an official Apple CDN URL.

Safari for Windows is the only browser allowed in our company (1000+ employees). Other browsers are not allowed. We’re still waiting for an update and we’re sure it will come :-)

THIS IS BAD ADVICE. DON’T DO THIS.

If you are developing on Windows and don’t have access to a Mac, install MacOS on a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox (or VMWare or any other virtualization host).

You’ll be using a browser that Mac users are actually using (rather than ancient, unsupported versions which most won’t).

You’ll have access to modern debugging tools.

You won’t be second-guessing if something isn’t working due to your code/markup being bad or the ancient version of Safari not supporting modern code/markup.

Again, there is absolutely no reason to do this. It almost certainly be counter-productive.

There is no advice contained here, it’s merely offering the possibility of having Safari for Windows if you need it for some reason. An outdated version of Safari Windows is what Apple continues to offer as a download.

Believe it or not, some people may need it, so that is why Apple probably offers it. There is not advice, advice would be guidance, whereas information is simply a fact. For example, knowledge that a tiger will bite you is not advice to have a tiger bite you, it’s simply information stating a fact that tigers may bite. Or just because you can buy 35lbs of sugar at the grocery store is not advice to do that, it’s simply available. People have free will (for now anyway!).

As for whether or not you need this, well you probably don’t but you would know better than someone else. Is there no critical thinking skills out there?

“Is there no critical thinking skills out there?”

There are, but you seem to be lacking grammatical skills.

Hint: you can disagree with me (and you made some good points) without getting personal and nasty. It was not necessary.

Do your homework, sport. Mac OS can only be run in a virtual environment on Mac OS hardware. It cannot be run on Windows, regardless of the virtualization software.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:b8rtxfVamBAJ:lifehacker.com/5938332/how-to-run-mac-os-x-on-any-windows-pc-using-virtualbox+

Why would anyone want to do this if Safari for Windows is no longer being developed?

In my case, to test if the date on my website was being displayed correctly on Safari since the normal Date object was shown as ‘Not a date’ on a Safari browser.

It’s hard to imagine a scenario where any Windows 10 user would need Safari on Windows but I suppose it exists out there. It would be even harder to imagine anyone wanting to use ancient browsers in modern environments.

A better solution if you ask me is to use Chrome or Edge and then spoof the User Agent for Safari. As far as testing goes, that should be sufficient.

Or just get a Mac, and test the web app with Safari in MacOS, iPad, iPhone, via Xcode or what have you.

>It’s hard to imagine a scenario where any Windows 10 user would need Safari on Windows

Here’s one. Person uses Mac at home and forced to use Windows 10 at work, and they are looking for a unified browser experience – extensions, bookmarks, autofill , etc. In this case they might want to use Safari on Windows as well as MacOS.

I think you’re so way off here. How on earth would an old version of Safari give a unified browsing experience?

The biggest reason someone would need to use Safari in a Windows environment is for cross-browser compatibility testing for web development.

Safari is uniquely crappy at offering the same level of compatibility you will find between Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and [current versions of] Internet Explorer. There are a number of standard jQuery, javascript, flash, and even some very basic basic DOM markups that do not display, or sometimes function at all, in Safari.

Because Apple is so widely used, and Windows is the standard for business/corporate development jobs (not to mention very few companies offer each of their developers an iPhone for cross-browser testing), it is imperative to have access to a genuine Safari browser interface on a Windows PC.

Exactly. Spoofing the useragent inside of another browser doesn’t always net the same results (usually script related differences)

Jamf software for windows DEANDS you use Safari to register devices. Safari is TOTAL CRAP!

I’m about to start using JAMF so I was concerned to read this, but:

Safari for Windows – How to Download and Install Apple Safari Browser on Windows PC

Apple’s software has been one of the best when it comes to usability and smoothness. Many of its apps like the Safari browser is developed to work flawlessly with macOS. But many Windows users miss out as the Safari for Windows is not supported currently. This browser is specifically designed for Apple’s software and works pretty much smoothly on every Apple device such as the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, and more.

With Safari browser’s latest updates like quick notes, inline dictionary and more, it has become popular amongst many users and grabs the attention of Windows users. So, in this article, I am going to show you how to use Safari on Windows PC and laptop .

How to Download and Install Safari on Windows

Before we move on, let’s talk about what happened to Safari development for Windows. Earlier, Apple supported Safari for Windows users up until macOS X 10.8 Mountain Lion was launched. The reason is still unknown but some speculations claim that Safari was based on a completely different architecture than any normal Windows app. So it would be really buggy to operate. Other say that Apple wants to keep some of its apps exclusive for macOS and iOS devices.

Whatever the reason may be, the older version of Safari for Windows is still available to download. But, it is only recommended if you are a developer or just want to try it out . The reason is that being the older version, it does not support the latest features while also being not as secure as the latest version which might hamper with your privacy .

Safari for Windows

Coming back to the tutorial, there are two ways through which you can download Safari for Windows systems:

  • Using the last supported version of Safari browser.
  • Using a cross-browser testing tool.

So without wasting any more time, let’s see how we can start using Safari on Windows PCs and laptops.

Method 1: Download and Install Safari on Windows using .exe file

As I said, this downloadable file is the last supported version and would not have the latest features or the security measures. Use this method only if you are a developer and wants to see how your project UI looks on the old version of Safari. It is not recommended to use as regular web browsers for your Windows .  Now with that out of the way, let’s get to the steps:

1. Download the setup of the Safari browser from this link . By clicking this, it will automatically download the executable file on your system.

2. Double click the SafariSetup.exe file and click on the Next > button to start the installation process.

3. You will now have options to make Safari your default browser, install Bonjour and automatically update Safari. Make sure to uncheck these three options as you would not use this as a daily browser. Click Next > again to continue.

5.  After clicking next, it will install Safari browser on your Windows machine and also creates a desktop shortcut for Safari.

6. Double click the icon on the desktop to open Safari browser. In order to test the browser and speed, enter any website URL in the address bar and press Enter .

Type URL in the Address Bar

7. As you can see, the Safari browser is fully functional and working properly. You have now successfully installed Safari for Windows and it is ready to use.

Last supported Version of Safari for Windows

It is very clear from screenshots, the Safari version is way older than what is currently available. Moreover, some website has some visual components that work best with the newest version of any browser. If you look closely, the “Search box placeholder” of our website is out of place. Like this, many websites would have minor visual differences which might hamper your browsing experience.

2. Using Safari on Windows with Cross-Browser Testing Tool

Cross-Browser Testing tool is pretty useful for developers and designers who need to test their websites on multiple web browser versions without actually installing them on their machine. With the help of these tools, we can use the latest version of Safari browser on Windows.

1. Open Experitest’s Cross-Browser testing tool website using either Google Chrome or Firefox.

Experitest Cross-Browser Testing Tool

2. Start your free trial by clicking on the “ Free Trial ” button.

3. It will take you to sign up page where you need to create an account or login directly with your Google or LinkedIn accounts.

4. Now enter your mobile number and click Continue. This will send you a One-Time Password (OTP) to verify your mobile number.

5. After entering your mobile number, you will be redirected to the dashboard where you will see a list of devices available for testing.

6. Now click on “ Browsers & Emulators ” to see the list of available browsers.

7. Select Safari and the version you want to use.

8. This will open a virtual session of Safari on your Windows browser. This session is completely free for the first 30 minutes.

9. You can end the session by clicking the large red “ End Session ” button.

End Session on Cross-Browser Testing Tool

After using the cross-browser testing tool, I can say it does have all the latest features of Safari but it is not as smooth as a browser would be. The best of this tool is, you can record the entire screen during the session. The major drawback is that it is a monthly-paid service where the user has to pay to use the features. For a developer or a designer, it is okay. But for users who just want to use the browser, it might go out of budget. And I must say, using a cross-browser testing tool is much safer than installing an out-dated version of the browser.

Conclusion for Safari on Windows

In the end, I think I have answered the question that many Windows users have, “Is Safari available for Windows laptops and PCs”. If you look at it in a way, technically it is available to use. But as I said previously, I would not recommend people to use Safari as a default browser and use to shop online, log on to social media websites and so on. The security of this browser is not up to date and your privacy might be at risk.

If Apple could have continued to support the Safari for Windows , it would have been perfect and pretty useful for people who use Windows device. Because of this, people now either have to use the older version of Safari or have to pay to use the cross-browser testing tools.

Have you downloaded Safari for Windows? Or used the cross-browser testing tool to use Safari on Windows? Let us know in the comments.

Safari for Windows: Feel the Apple Touch on Windows PC

run safari on windows 7

Apple has stopped supporting Safari for Windows for quite some time, and there are no updates, bug fixes, or patches available. Besides that, using older versions of Safari on PC might invite malware from certain websites. Given the risk, it is not really advisable to download and use Safari on Windows for regular users.

Just in case if you are a developer, designer, or a UI tester, you will need to check browser compatibility for your project. This is where downloading and using Safari on Windows becomes inevitable. There are two ways to use Safari on Windows PC:

  • Using an older version of Safari by downloading the executable file
  • Using online service to use Safari with Mac OS X environment

We will discuss both of them in details, keep reading.

How to Install and Use Safari Browser on Windows PC

Step #1. On your Windows PC, download Safari by clicking here .

Step #2. Depending on the browser you are using; you might be prompted to Save the file, or it will automatically start downloading the file without prompting.

Save Safari Setup on Windows PC

Step #3. After the download is completed, double click it and go through the installation process.

Install Safari on Windows

Step #4. Once the installation is completed, you can launch it and start browsing as usual.

Use Safari on Windows PC

That’s it! You are now ready to experience the Apple touch on your Windows PC. Reiterating the risk, make sure you do not do any important things on the Safari-like accessing your bank accounts, making payments, buying things from Amazon or other websites that need your personal information.

This version of Safari is quite old and is prone to many web vulnerabilities that have already been fixed in modern browsers. Unless and until it is critically inevitable, we strongly discourage users to use Safari on Windows PC.

Besides security concerns, there are not many plugins available for the older version of Safari, which is easily available on Firefox and Google Chrome.

How to Use Safari on Windows PC using Online Service

Step #1. Open Crossbrowsertesting.com on any of the browser in your Windows PC.

Step #2. Create a free account with the site and log in.

Click on Start A Free Trail to Create Account in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Step #3. From the left menu, hover your mouse pointer on “Live Testing” option and then click on “Start a Live Test.”

Click on Start a Live Test in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Step #4. On the right, under the “Desktop” tab, click on the drop-down menu and then click on the Mac OSX version.

Click on the drop-down menu next to Mac OSX in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Once you select the Mac OSX version, you’ll notice that the menu beside it will automatically select Safari 11.

Step #5. All you need to do now is to enter the website in the text field. Click “Run Test” button to load up the website.

Enter the Website and click on Run Test to Use Online Safari Web Browser

You can change scaling, resolution , take the screenshot, record video, and many other things from the top menu bar.

Use Safari for Windows PC

This is certainly not very smooth for day-to-day use for normal users. This again comes in handy for developers and testers. It is much more secure compared to downloading an older version of the Safari.

Personally, I was not much impressed with the browsing experience as there were a lot of lags while scrolling. But as a tester, I wouldn’t mind using it, as getting different devices physically is a tedious and expensive task.

The service offers 100 minutes of free browsing, and then you can go with different paid plans if you are happy with it.

Signing off…

It would have been great if Apple continued Safari support for Windows PC as it would have made life a lot easier for a lot of people. Especially for developers and designers, who need to check their work on different browsers.

Update Apple’s Safari Browser in Windows

They make it so easy to do

Author avatar

Every web browser provides a different way of checking for updates, most of them fairly easy and found within the browser itself. Firefox allows you to easily check for updates through the Help menu.

Checking for updates in Firefox

Opera also provides an easy method of checking for updates using their Help menu.

Checking for updates in Opera

Even Google Chrome makes it easy by automatically downloading and installing updates. However, if you are using Apple’s Safari browser, how do you check for updates? The update mechanism for Safari is not found as an option in the browser.

When you installed Safari, Apple Software Update was also installed, and it provides an easy way to update Safari.

If you don’t have Safari already installed, you can download it from here:

http://appldnld.apple.com/Safari5/041-5487.20120509.INU8B/SafariSetup.exe

It’s worth noting that the last version Apple released for Windows was in 2012, so it’s really old!

There is no shortcut created for the Apple Software Update program, so navigate to the following directory containing the .exe file in Windows Explorer:

C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update

Double-click on the SoftwareUpdate.exe file.

Apple Software Update executable file

Apple Software Update starts checking for new software available.

Checking for new software dialog box

Once the check for new software is finished, the Apple Software Update dialog box displays. Updates to any Apple software you have installed is listed in the first list box. The program also informs you of any new software available that you don’t have installed in the second list box.

Select the software you want to update and/or install by selecting the appropriate check boxes. Once you have made your choices, click the Install button at the bottom, which also informs you how many items will be installed.

The License Agreement dialog box displays. Read through the license agreement and click Accept .

If the User Account Control dialog box displays, click Yes to continue.

NOTE: You may not see this dialog box, depending on your User Account Control settings. See our post, Windows – How to configure UAC (User Account Control) , for more information.

A dialog box displays showing the progress of the downloads.

Downloading the update

Once the downloads are finished, the updates and/or new software are installed.

Installing the update

When the installation is finished, a dialog box displays the status of the installation. Click OK to return to the Apple Software Update dialog box.

Software has been successfully installed

You can set the Apple Software Update program to automatically check for updates and notify you when updates are available. To do this, select Preferences from the Edit menu.

Opening Preferences

The Apple Software Update Preferences dialog box displays with the Schedule tab active. Select the radio button that corresponds with how often you want the program to check for updates.

Setting the update schedule

You can also check what updates have been installed by clicking the Installed Updates tab. The date, the name of the software, and the version to which it was updates is listed.

Click OK to close the Apple Software Update Preferences dialog box.

When you click OK on the Apple Software Update Preferences dialog box, the User Account Control dialog box may display again, depending on your settings (see the note earlier in this post). Click Yes to return to the Apple Software Update dialog box.

To close the Apple Software Update dialog box, click the Quit button at the bottom. You may also select Quit from the File menu.

You can easily check which version of Safari is installed. To view the current version of Safari, click the gear button in the upper, right corner of the Safari window, and select About Safari from the drop-down menu.

Opening the About Safari dialog box

The currently installed version of Safari displays on the About dialog box. To close the About dialog box, click the X button in the upper, right corner.

Can You Download Safari on Windows?

You can get a taste of the macOS browser on Windows, but downloading it might not be a great idea.

Safari is one of the most popular web browsers available, and the default browser on most Apple devices. Any macOS user switching to Windows struggles to use a different browser. Likewise, some Windows users may want to try Safari on their Windows devices. However, can Windows users also download Safari?

In this article, we'll explain whether you can download Safari for Windows, how to do so, and what limitations you'll have to deal with.

Apple has stopped offering Safari updates for Windows users since the release of Safari 5.1.7 in 2012. As a result, you can only use Safari 5.1.7 or earlier versions on Windows.

Safari versions after 5.1.7 are limited to iOS and macOS users. Consequently, Windows users cannot use the latest Safari versions.

How to Download Safari on Windows

Safari 5.1.7 is still available for Windows, but it's pretty outdated. And as we listed in our reasons to update your browser, keeping it updated is crucial for your security. So, it's not a good idea to download it.

Still, if you'd like to try it, head to the Uptodown website and download Safari. After downloading, you can install it on your device and begin using it.

Know the Risks Before Downloading Safari 5.1.7 for Windows

We have shown you how to use Safari 5.1.7 on Windows, but take note of the security risks. Due to its security risks, Safari 5.1.7 doesn't merit being a Windows go-to browser. In addition, its interface is quite outdated, and its features are pretty limited, so it isn't worth trying.

Instead, you should check out other options, such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera GX, and many others, which offer the latest versions for Windows users, ensuring their privacy and security.

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

run safari on windows 7

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

run safari on windows 7

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

run safari on windows 7

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

run safari on windows 7

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Smart Tools

Designed to help your work flow..

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate. Get detailed information about a subject in a photo with just a click, select text within any image, instantly translate an entire web page, and quickly take notes wherever you are on a site — without having to switch apps.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

run safari on windows 7

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

run safari on windows 7

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

run safari on windows 7

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

run safari on windows 7

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Where do I download an older version of Safari for Windows

I need a specific version of Safari using WebKit 525.27; I have tracked it to Safari 3.2.1. The first Google hit on Apple points to:

http://support.apple.com/downloads/Safari_3_2_1_for_Windows?viewlocale=sv_SE

However all the download links direct me to Safari 5. Are my only options to either build it myself from webkit.org or download it from an Internet archive like oldapps ?

I know this question has already been answered, but I like to give people options. Another option is filehippo.com. They have every version of a lot of programs out there including popular items such as Safari. Here is the link that would be relevant to this question. Below are some of the other very popular downloads that Filehippo has.

That's bad luck.

The links for multiple versions of Safari are here.

http://support.apple.com/downloads/#internet

However, the active links for the Windows versions only work back to 3.2.2.

The Mac versions appear to go back to 1.3.1.

This is the page for 3.2.1. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL721 Unfortunately, the DL link now points to the current release.

Here is how you can install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (if you really want to)

image 2

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple that is known for its fast performance, elegant design, and privacy features. Safari is the default browser on all Apple devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. But what if you want to use Safari on a Windows PC?

In this article, we will explore the history of Safari for Windows, the reasons why Apple discontinued it, and the possible ways to install and run it on Windows 10 or Windows 11. We will also discuss the pros and cons of using Safari for Windows, and some alternatives that you may want to consider.

Table of Contents

The history of Safari on Windows

Safari was first introduced in 2003 as part of Mac OS X Panther, and it was based on the open-source WebKit engine. Safari quickly became one of the most popular browsers on the Mac, and it was also ported to iOS devices when the iPhone was launched in 2007.

In the same year, Apple announced Safari for Windows, a version of the browser that was compatible with Windows XP and Vista. Steve Jobs, the then-CEO of Apple, claimed that Safari for Windows was faster and more secure than other browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Safari for Windows was also intended to attract more developers to create web applications for the iPhone, which did not support Adobe Flash at the time.

Apple continued to update Safari for Windows along with the Mac version, adding features such as a reader mode, extensions, and developer tools. However, Safari for Windows never gained much traction among Windows users, who preferred other browsers that had more market share and compatibility. According to StatCounter, Safari for Windows had less than 1% of the global browser market share in 2012.

The last version of Safari for Windows was 5.1.7, released in May 2012. Apple did not release Safari 6 for Windows, which was launched for Mac OS X Mountain Lion in July 2012. Apple also quietly removed the download links for Safari for Windows from its website, effectively ending the support and development of the browser for the Windows platform.

The reasons why Apple discontinued Safari for Windows

Apple never officially explained why it stopped making Safari for Windows, but there are several possible reasons. One reason is that Safari for Windows was not very profitable for Apple, as it did not generate any revenue from advertising or services, unlike Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Apple also did not have a strong incentive to promote its browser on Windows, as it did not have any other products or services that could benefit from it, unlike Google or Microsoft.

Another reason is that Safari for Windows was not very popular among Windows users, as it faced stiff competition from other browsers that had more features, extensions, and compatibility. Safari for Windows also had some technical issues, such as security vulnerabilities, performance problems, and a user interface that did not match the Windows design. Safari for Windows also did not support some web standards and technologies that were widely used by other browsers, such as HTML5 video, WebGL, and WebRTC.

A third reason is that Safari for Windows was not very important for Apple’s strategy, as it focused more on its own platforms and devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. Apple also invested more in developing its own web technologies and innovations, such as Intelligent Tracking Prevention, Safari App Extensions, and Web Inspector. Apple also wanted to differentiate its browser from other browsers that were based on the Chromium engine, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

The possible ways to install and run Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11

If you still want to use Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, there are some possible ways to do so, but they are not recommended or supported by Apple. Here are some of them:

Download and install Safari 5.1.7 for Windows from a third-party website

Safari for Windows (Installer)

This is the easiest and most straightforward way to get Safari for Windows, but it is also the most risky and unreliable. Safari 5.1.7 for Windows is an outdated and unsupported browser that may have security flaws, compatibility issues, and performance problems. It may also not work properly on Windows 10 or Windows 11, as it was designed for Windows XP and Vista. You may also encounter some malware or viruses when downloading the installer from an untrusted source. Therefore, we do not recommend this method, and if you decide to try it, do so at your own risk and discretion.

Safari running on Windows 11

Install and run Safari for Windows using a virtual machine software

This is a more complex and resource-intensive way to get Safari for Windows, but it may offer a better and safer experience. A virtual machine software, such as VirtualBox or VMware , allows you to create and run a virtual computer within your Windows PC, where you can install and run another operating system, such as macOS or Windows XP.

You can then download and install Safari for Windows on the virtual computer, and use it as if you were using a real Mac or Windows XP PC. However, this method requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU power, and it may affect the performance and battery life of your Windows PC. You also need to have a valid license and installation media for the operating system that you want to run on the virtual machine. Moreover, you still need to deal with the limitations and drawbacks of Safari for Windows, such as the lack of updates and features.

Install and run the latest version of Safari using a virtual machine software

This is the most advanced and expensive way to get Safari for Windows, but it may offer the best and most up-to-date experience. This method involves installing and running the latest version of macOS on a virtual machine on your Windows PC, and then using the latest version of Safari that is available for macOS. iboysoft has a great guide that will provide you step by step instructions.

This way, you can enjoy all the features and benefits of Safari, such as the fast performance, elegant design, and privacy protections.

Depending on if you are willing or not willing to sail to the seven seas, You also need to have a compatible Mac computer that can run the latest version of macOS, and a valid Apple ID that can access the Mac App Store.

You need to note that Apple does not allow installing macOS on non-Apple hardware, and it may violate the terms and conditions of the software license agreement, so keep thatn in mind before you go hunting for an ISO.

Why you may want to install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC?

I will say this again: installing Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 is not a good idea (will be discussing why not in just a minute) but there are some legit reasons you may want to run Safari on your Windows PC:

  • You can test and debug your web applications and websites on Safari, which may be useful for web developers and designers who want to ensure cross-browser compatibility and functionality.
  • You can sync your bookmarks, history, passwords, and tabs with your other Apple devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads, if you use iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID.
  • You can experience the look and feel of Safari, which may be appealing to some users who like the minimalist and elegant design of the browser.
  • You can use some of the features and innovations that are unique to Safari, such as the reader mode, the Safari App Extensions, and the Web Inspector.

And before you go ahead and install a virtual machine in your PC or install an unsupported version on your computer, please understand that:

  • You may expose yourself to security risks and threats, as Safari for Windows is an outdated and unsupported browser that may have unpatched vulnerabilities and bugs.
  • You may encounter compatibility issues and errors, as Safari for Windows may not support some web standards and technologies that are widely used by other browsers and websites.
  • You may experience performance problems and crashes, as Safari for Windows may not run smoothly or efficiently on Windows 10 or Windows 11, especially on newer hardware and software configurations.
  • You may miss out on many features and improvements that are available on the latest version of Safari, such as the Intelligent Tracking Prevention, the customisable start page, and the tab groups.

The alternatives to Safari for Windows

If you are looking for a web browser that can offer a similar or better experience than Safari for Windows, you may want to consider some of the alternatives that are available for Windows 10 or Windows 11. Here are some of them:

  • Microsoft Edge: This is the default and recommended browser for Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it is based on the Chromium engine, which powers Google Chrome and other browsers. Edge offers a fast and secure browsing experience, with features such as Collections, Vertical Tabs, Immersive Reader, and Password Monitor. Edge also supports extensions from the Microsoft Store and the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Microsoft account and other devices. Edge also has a built-in tracking prevention feature, which can block trackers and ads from websites, and a Kids Mode, which can provide a safe and fun browsing environment for children.
  • Google Chrome: This is the most popular and widely used browser in the world, and it is also based on the Chromium engine. Chrome offers a reliable and versatile browsing experience, with features such as Google Translate, Chrome Remote Desktop, and Chrome OS. Chrome also supports thousands of extensions from the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Google account and other devices. Chrome also has a built-in malware and phishing protection feature, which can warn you of dangerous websites and downloads, and a Incognito Mode, which can prevent your browsing history and cookies from being saved.
  • Mozilla Firefox: This is one of the oldest and most respected browsers in the world, and it is based on the Gecko engine, which is developed by Mozilla. Firefox offers a fast and private browsing experience, with features such as Firefox Monitor, Firefox Send, and Firefox Lockwise. Firefox also supports extensions from the Firefox Add-ons Store, and it can sync your data with your Firefox account and other devices. Firefox also has a built-in Enhanced Tracking Protection feature, which can block trackers, ads, and fingerprinters from websites, and a Private Browsing Mode, which can erase your browsing history and cookies after you close the window.
  • Opera : This is a browser that is known for its innovative and unique features, and it is also based on the Chromium engine. Opera offers a smooth and convenient browsing experience, with features such as Opera Turbo, Opera Flow, and Opera GX. Opera also supports extensions from the Opera Add-ons Store and the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Opera account and other devices. Opera also has a built-in ad blocker and VPN feature, which can block ads and trackers from websites, and hide your IP address and location from prying eyes, and a Snapshot Mode, which can capture and edit screenshots of web pages.

The conclusion

Safari for Windows was a web browser that was developed by Apple and released in 2007, but it was discontinued in 2012. Safari for Windows was not very successful or popular among Windows users, as it faced many challenges and limitations, such as security risks, compatibility issues, and performance problems. Safari for Windows was also not very relevant or important for Apple’s strategy, as it focused more on its own platforms and devices, and its own web technologies and innovations.

If you want to use Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, there are some possible ways to do so, but they are not recommended or supported by Apple.

We hope this article has helped you understand how to install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, and what are the pros and cons of using it. Thank you for reading, and happy browsing!

如何在Windows上下載、安裝和運行Safari

Wondershare Recoverit Authors

Mar 05, 2024 • 分類: Windows 計算機解決方案 • 成熟的解決方案

Safari是一款高性能的網絡瀏覽器。蘋果公司開發了它。它是macOS的默認瀏覽器,Windows用戶也可以使用它的舊版本。它於2003年首次為麥金塔電腦發布。2007年至2012年推出了Windows版本;蘋果已經停止了這項服務。

它不僅僅是一個簡單的網絡瀏覽器;您可以查看鏈接並將文章添加到閱讀列表中。您還可以通過iCloud鑰匙串訪問您保存的密碼和信用卡。它還允許用戶使用Apple Pay支付商品和服務,Apple Pay是該公司的安全非接觸式支付系統。

由於不斷髮展的技術產業及其進步,對易於使用的網絡瀏覽器的需求一直在上升。Windows操作系統的Safari瀏覽器已針對可用性進行了調整。它還提供了獨特的功能和工具,使其比市場上的其他瀏覽器具有競爭優勢。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-1

  • 第一部分。Safari瀏覽器的突出特點是什麼
  • 第二部分。為什麼要下載並安裝Safari for Windows
  • 第三部分。在何處下載Safari for Windows
  • 第四部分。如何在Windows上運行Safari
  • 第五部分。如何恢復瀏覽歷史

第一部分。Safari瀏覽器有哪些突出的特點?

Safari 12是即將發布的最新版本的瀏覽器。基於公司的聲譽,Safari成功地以獨特的功能和簡單的設計打動了用戶。該瀏覽器用戶友好,兼容從PC到筆記本電腦、手機和平板電腦的所有設備。這裏我們將討論它的一些顯著特徵。

Safari是互聯網上唯一具有DuckDuckGo功能的瀏覽器,這是一個沒有內置選項來跟蹤你的搜索引擎。新的更新包括以下功能:

  • 當用戶在兩個Safari中加載不安全頁面時,會向用戶發送附加警告。
  • 它刪除了對過期的“請勿跟蹤”標準的支持,以防止可能被用作指紋變量。

隨着Safari 12的發布,瀏覽器已經停止了對具有跨站點跟蹤功能的域的分區cookies的支持。存儲訪問API現在支持第三方訪問cookies。改進的智能跟蹤預防限制了基於客戶端第一方cookies的長期跟蹤,並驗證了分區緩存條目。

隨着Safari 12.1的發布,瀏覽器提供了在黑暗模式下為網站啟用配色方案自定義的能力。此功能通過更改配色方案來創建更易於在夜間閱讀的網頁,從而使瀏覽器更加舒適和平靜。

Safari保護您免受欺詐性惡意軟件/廣告軟件網站的攻擊。它阻止這些網站加載,並在網站看起來可疑時發出警告。這個特性現在也可以在其他各種網絡瀏覽器上使用。

Apple AirPlay是一個專有的協議套件,為用戶提供音頻、視頻、設備屏幕和照片在設備之間的流式傳輸。Safari瀏覽器也提供此功能。它允許您將網頁上的視頻播放到電視或任何其他設備上。您可以點擊兼容視頻上的AirPlay圖標,並在不同的便攜式屏幕上觀看。

The new update has added the support for simulcast and VP8 in WebRTC to improve support for multi-party video conferencing. It has also enabled cross-browser Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) by adding APIs without the WebKit prefix.

第二部分。為什麼要下載並安裝Safari for Windows?

憑藉樸素的布局和整潔的用戶界面,Safari可以在Windows 10 PC上流暢運行。根據蘋果的消息來源,該瀏覽器在速度和性能方面優於Chrome和Firefox等其他瀏覽器。以下是你應該使用Safari優於其他瀏覽器的原因。

Safari是唯一尊重用戶隱私的瀏覽器。新版本的智能跟蹤保護提供了最新的更新,防止第三方跟蹤您的腳步。

Safari對用戶輸入的反應遠比Chrome靈敏。兩種瀏覽器的頁面加載時間差別不大。與同類產品相比,它還佔用相對較小的主內存部分。圖形集成允許safari提供更流暢的滾動體驗和更清晰的反饋,同時使用比其他瀏覽器更少的系統資源。

密碼管理器是iOS和macOS Mojave的一項功能,它將使您的網絡生活無限輕鬆。你可以在face id的幫助下進入一個賬戶。不再需要記住密碼;您只需輸入一次憑據。自動填充功能還涵蓋了由第三方公司啟用的雙因素身份驗證的安全代碼。谷歌Chrome最近開始提供一個功能,即向用戶建議一個自動生成的超強密碼。Safari是第一個提供這種機會的瀏覽器。它可以讓你保存密碼到你的鑰匙鏈。

Chrome瀏覽器會影響電腦的電池壽命。蘋果以這樣一種方式設計Safari,使其產品有機會最大限度地利用電池。根據各種消息來源,使用Chrome而不是Safari每天需要一個小時的電池壽命。在舊系統中尤其如此。蘋果提供了一個安全的硬件環境。Safari瀏覽器運行的單個進程比Chrome少,通常處理器密集型程度也較低。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-2

你可能想知道,當Safari for Windows已經多年沒有停止生產時,為什麼要首先安裝它呢?對於Windows PC的典型用戶來說,答案是:你不應該安裝它。對於其他有經驗的用戶,如開發人員、設計人員、UI測試人員、支持技術人員,有必要使用舊版本的瀏覽器進行測試或支持特定的客戶端。這就是高級Mac用戶在Mac OS中運行舊版本的Internet Explorer和新版本如Microsoft Edge進行測試的方式。問題是,你應該全職使用Safari for Windows嗎?答案是否定的,肯定不是。如果你是一個需要一個好的網絡瀏覽器的Windows PC用戶,你最好使用MS Edge、Chrome或Firefox。唯一的原因很簡單,這些瀏覽器仍然保留着,而Safari for Windows早已被拋棄。儘管如此,如果你仍然需要使用它,你可以按照上面提到的方法在Windows PC上運行Safari。

第三部分。在哪裡下載Safari for Windows?

蘋果已經停止為Windows版Safari提供更新。Windows PC用戶沒有可用的錯誤修復或補丁。如果您是設計師或UI測試人員,您將需要檢查項目的瀏覽器兼容性。這就是在Windows PC上下載和使用Safari變得不可避免的地方。這裏我們將討論在Windows上下載Safari的方法。

  • 下載Safari for Windows的可執行文件。
  • 使用壓縮文件下載Safari for Windows 10后,將安裝文件的內容解壓縮到目標文件夾中。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-3

  • 雙擊Safari.exe,在Windows 10上啟動Safari瀏覽器。
  • 單擊下一步,然後單擊完成以完成安裝。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-4

  • 啟動瀏覽器,照常開始瀏覽。

請記住,您計算機上安裝的版本較舊。蘋果不支持Windows版本的Safari。它不再處於開發階段。如果你想在Windows中運行Safari,這完全取決於你。不要做任何重要或嚴重的事情。這個版本的safari缺少許多現代的web更新和功能。它沒有被教授現代安全和隱私問題的最新技術。Windows上的Safari應該由高級用戶使用,因為在運行它時可能會出現許多問題。

第四部分。如何在Windows上運行Safari?

您也可以使用在線服務在Windows上運行Safari。這個過程叫做跨瀏覽器測試;它是跨多種瀏覽器測試web程序的能力。它還包括檢查你的軟件,那些瀏覽器的兼容性,並確保它正常工作。它還允許您運行與您的操作系統不兼容的最新版本的web瀏覽器。它包括最新版本的Safari,Windows上沒有。

對於普通用戶來說,整個過程對於日常使用來說不是很理想。但是它對開發人員、設計人員和測試人員來說很方便。與下載舊版本的Safari相比,使用第三方瀏覽器測試器要安全得多。

如何在Windows文件資源管理器中找到新的iCloud文件夾?

iCloud是蘋果雲服務應用程序,用於備份數據並在不同設備之間同步數據。雖然iCloud主要集成在蘋果的產品中,如Mac電腦和iPhones,但它也可以在Windows PCs上使用。

iCloud for Windows是蘋果公司的官方應用程序,可以下載並安裝在你的Windows 10電腦、筆記本電腦或平板電腦上。安裝此應用程序允許特定數據從您的iCloud帳戶同步到您的Windows設備。要在Windows設備上訪問iCloud,您只需要一個Apple ID和密碼。這將允許您訪問其他Apple產品,如iTunes。

如果您安裝了iCloud for Windows,則會在Windows設備上創建一個新的照片文件夾。該文件夾可以在文件資源管理器中找到。根據您在iCloud設置過程中選擇的偏好設置,此文件夾可用於查看鏈接的iCloud設備中的文件或將數據從Windows上傳到iCloud帳戶。每個文件夾都會將文件和數據同步到iCloud帳戶。它還會將數據同步到iCloud for Windows應用程序中所有連接的設備。

iCloud的所有文件夾將自動固定到Windows文件資源管理器中的快速訪問菜單。只要打開文件資源管理器,您就應該能夠看到這些文件夾。需要注意的是,一旦您使用iCloud for Windows來設置文件夾和設置,它在未來除了更改偏好設置之外幾乎沒有什麼用處。所有文件管理都將在新安裝的應用程序的新文件夾中進行。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-8

第五部分。如何恢復瀏覽歷史?

有一個在磁盤上保存瀏覽器歷史文件的選項。如果你把電腦里所有的瀏覽器歷史記錄都保存在一個文件夾里,如果不小心,你在Chrome或Safari上的網頁歷史記錄會被刪除或丟失。您有機會使用專業的數據恢復工具來恢復被刪除的文件。

建議您嘗試Wondershare的Recoverit Windows數據恢復工具,它可以 恢復所有已刪除的文件 ,包括瀏覽歷史數據保存在您的電腦沒有任何障礙。它提供了超過95%的高恢復率和恢復文件的即時預覽。按照我們的指南恢復丟失的數據:

1.選擇瀏覽器文件的位置:

  • 啟動Recoverit Mac數據恢復軟件。
  • 選擇瀏覽數據丟失/刪除的驅動器或文件夾的位置。
  • 單擊“開始”按鈕開始恢復。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-5

2.掃描丟失的瀏覽器數據:

  • 數據掃描將在Recoverit中開始。
  • 掃描需要時間才能完成。
  • 您可以在應用程序窗口的文件路徑和文件類型部分找到結果。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-6

  • 恢復的internet文件將顯示在Recoverit窗口中。
  • 您可以通過選擇文件路徑或文件類型來選擇數據。
  • 單擊“恢復”選項取迴文件。

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-7

  • 關於在系統上恢復瀏覽器歷史記錄的建議:

使用數據恢復軟件,如 回收 Windows數據恢復 不可避免地成為找回所有丟失文件的簡單方法。使用此選項,您可以遵循以下幾點建議,以提高恢復已刪除歷史記錄文件的機會:

  • 定期將所有重要數據備份到外部位置,包括您的互聯網歷史記錄。
  • 當您在電腦上恢復您的互聯網歷史記錄或任何其他文件時,不要將其恢復到刪除前的相同位置。
  • 避免安裝任何未經授權的軟件或任何第三方磁盤清理實用程序。
  • 始終手動關閉計算機,因為通過關閉電源來關閉計算機可能會導致數據丟失。
  • 如果可能的話,您應該始終嘗試限制要查找的搜索域和文件類型。遵循此方法將加快您的恢復搜索過程。

如果蘋果繼續支持Windows PC並提供更新版本的Safari,事情會容易得多,因為這會給很多用戶帶來方便。尤其是對於創作者和應用程序設計者來說,他們需要在不同的瀏覽器上檢查他們的項目。如果你想 下載Safari for Windows ,這篇文章會很有用。自然,有各種各樣的選擇。一個建議是,你應該不惜一切代價避免在Windows PC上使用它。安全的賭注是購買一個瀏覽器測試應用程序,它將為你提供一個安全的通道,並允許你運行最新版本的Safari。如果萬一你的網絡歷史被刪除,你可以在Recoverit瀏覽器恢復軟件的幫助下恢復丟失的數據。
