Safari is a default browser available for all the Apple devices like MacBooks, iPhones, iPods, etc. Apple used to support Windows OS in the past. However, they stopped developing new iterations in recent years.
But you can still download the last version of Windows and even on Linux OS using the below-mentioned steps. But, as a word of caution, there will be compatibility issues and security flaws. Hence, I recommend not using the Safari browser anywhere except on Apple devices.
In this article, we will learn how to download the Apple Safari browser on macOS, Windows OS, and Linux-based Operating systems. We are also going to cover installing the Safari browser.
Download Safari for Mac
Safari is a default browser that is pre-installed on all Apple devices. Unstocking the browser is impossible unless your device is broken into.
Below is the direct download link for the Safari browser for macOS (Mojave); however, it should be compatible even with the latest macOS Catalina.
Apple has removed the link.
Download Apple Safari for Windows OS
As mentioned earlier, Apple has stopped support for Safari on Windows OS. There have been no significant upgrades to Safari for years.
However, if you’re still interested in downloading Safari for Windows 10 or Windows 7 OS, you can use the below download link. That will help you to download Safari for Windows.
Download Apple Safari for Linux OS
Unfortunately, the Safari browser is not available for any Linux OS. Apple has restricted its browser only to Apple devices. However, you can use the software program called wine to help download the Safari browser for any Linux OS.
Please note that in the below setup guide (credits), we will be using the same SafariSetup.exe file, which is outdated. Hence, I strongly recommend skipping Safari in Linux.
Follow these steps to download Safari browser on Linux OS:
- Install Wine on Linux OS using the below command
sudo apt-get install -y wine
- Then create, download, and build a directory
mkdir -p ~/build/safari cd ~/build/safari
- Download Safari (version for Windows)
wget http://appldnld.apple.com/Safari5/041-5487.20120509.INU8B/SafariSetup.exe
- Open using wine
wine SafariSetup.exe
Follow the setup instruction on the Wine window to complete the installation for Safari on Linux OS. However, it is not at all recommended to download the Safari browser for Linux OS. The first issue you will face is compatibility, and being an older version; it might not work correctly on your Linux device.
Alternative to Apple Safari for Computer
There are multiple browsers that you can consider as an alternative to the Safari browser across operating systems.
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Opera Browser
Bottom Line
Safari is a renowned browser that comes packed with unique and new features. It is mainly restricted to iOS devices and does not work on any other OS. However, if you are still keen on downloading Safari for Windows or Linux, the links have been provided in the article.
Nevertheless, I strongly suggest using Safari on your iOS devices only since new updates have not been provided for Windows or Linux. Safari for Windows or Linux is outdated & unstable and may have significant issues.
Let me know if you’re facing any issues downloading and installing the Safari browser on your computer.
