Safari Browser Update Frequency
The update frequency of the Safari browser for notebooks and desktop machines is quite low compared to other browsers.
Major upgrades are released along with the macOS annual upgrades (Mojave – >> Catalina). Whereas minor upgrades are released randomly once or twice in a quarter. However, if there are any security upgrades and patch fixes, the updates are immediately released.
In my experience, overall the upgrades are very slow yet powerful. And major upgrades are only released along with operating system upgrades.
