You can easily download the Apple Safari browser on any computer and laptop using the download links below. Safari is the proprietary software of Apple. Hence it’s the default browser available for all the Apple devices like MacBooks, iPhones, iPods, etc. Apple used to support the Windows OS in the past, however, they stopped developing new iteration 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 as well as security flaws. Hence, I strongly recommend not to use the Safari browser anywhere except Apple devices.
My sister insisted on downloading Safari on her laptop but I warned her against it. Nevertheless, her stubborn nature won over and I had to teach her how to download Safari for Windows.

Download Apple Safari for Mac OSX
The Safari is a default browser that is pre-installed on all Apple devices. There is no way to uninstall the browser 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.
Download Apple Safari for Windows OS

However, if you’re still interested in downloading Safari for Windows 10 or Windows 7 OS, then 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 which can help in downloading the Safari browser for any Linux OS.

sudo apt-get install -y wine
- Then create, download, and build a directory
mkdir -p ~/build/safari cd ~/build/safari

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.
