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 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 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
As mentioned earlier, Apple has stopped support for Safari on Windows OS. There have been no major upgrades to Safari for years.
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.
Please note that in the below setup guide (credits) we will be using the same SafariSetup.exe file which is outdated.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 that you will face is that of compatibility and being an older version, it might not work properly on your Linux device.
Alternative to Apple Safari for Computers/Laptops
There are multiple browsers that you can consider as an alternative to the safari browser across the operating systems.
- Download Google Chrome on macOS
- Download Mozilla Firefox on macOS
- Download Microsoft Edge (Chromium) on Computer
- Download Opera Browser on MacBook
Bottom Line: Safari for PC
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. The Safari for Windows or Linux is unstable and may have major issues.

Hello, you’re correct. Safari is Apple’s proprietary web browser and has stopped supporting Windows PC long ago. If it’s of utmost importance to use Safari, then you may need to install the Virtual Machine running on MacOS to use Safari. It’s technically challenging but not impossible. However, this should be considered as running Safari on Windows, but housing the entire MacOS on Windows.
