Tips & Tricks

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

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

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

• 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

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

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.

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 10: How To Get and Install It

Plus, why you shouldn't do this

If you use a Mac or an iPhone, it’s hard to pick a different browser over Safari. It’s incredibly fast, uses minimal resources, and respects user privacy. But if you also use a PC, you won’t have the luxury of installing Apple’s flagship browser on Windows since the Cupertino-based tech giant does not develop Safari for the Windows PC. That’s a major issue when your gear consists of cross-platform products.

What you can do is install an older version of Safari on Windows 10 or 11, although we highly advise against that due to compatibility and security-related issues. The best and safest option is to sync your browsing data from Safari to Chrome or Edge on your PC via iCloud for Windows. Setting up macOS on your PC and using Safari that way is another feasible option.

Download and Install Safari on Your Windows PC

Apple halted the development of Safari for Windows in 2012. However, the final version of the browser (Safari v.5.1.7) is freely available on the internet, so you can quickly download and install it on your Windows 10 or 11 PC. The problem? It’s terribly slow and dated, lacks compatibility with most web apps, and poses security risks. You also can’t sync your browsing data, so it’s not a solution if you want to access bookmarks and passwords.

Regardless, the steps below will walk you through downloading and installing Safari on your Windows 10/11 PC. But unless you just want to have a feel of how Safari looked almost a decade earlier, we recommend you stay away from it.

1. Download the Safari installer from a software download portal such as Uptodown , Filehippo , or TechSpot . It weighs in at 36.7MB. Unfortunately, Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows, so you can’t get it from an official source.

2. Double-click the downloaded SafariSetup executable file.

3. Select Next on the Safari Setup’s Welcome screen.

4. Accept the license agreement and select Next .

5. Specify if you want to add Safari as a desktop shortcut or not. Also, decide if you prefer it as the default browser on your computer (we recommend you don’t select this option). Select Next to continue.

6. Pick an install directory (or leave the default folder path) and select Install .

7. Wait for the Safari installer to finish installing Safari on your computer. Then, select Finish .

After installing Safari, you can choose to open it by double-clicking the Safari icon on the desktop. Or, you can open it by selecting Safari on the Start menu’s programs list.

Despite being almost ten years old, Safari for Windows doesn’t look too out of place. To the top, you have the familiar URL bar (you can’t use it to perform searches, however), a Bookmarks strip underneath, and a dedicated Search bar on the left corner. By default, new tabs display frequently visiting sites in thumbnail format—you can use the Top Sites and History tabs to switch them and your browsing history.

Selecting the cog-shaped icon at the right corner of the screen reveals the Safari menu, where you can choose to customize the toolbar, access your browsing history, launch a private browsing window, and so on.

Selecting Preferences opens the Preferences pane, which provides options to modify the homepage, pick a default search engine, adjust privacy settings, manage extensions (although extensions support is non-existent), etc.

What the browser does not allow is to sign in with an Apple ID. That makes it impossible to sync your browsing data from an iPhone or Mac. Even if the functionality were present previously, Apple probably would’ve stopped you from signing in to it by now.

During our Safari tests on Windows, the browser started showing its age. Most websites took a long time to load, while web apps (such as YouTube and Google Maps) simply failed or prompted us to switch to a compatible browser. Other than for basic web browsing, it was practically useless.

Safari for Windows also hasn’t received security updates in almost a decade, so we recommend that you don’t attempt to use it for any sensitive activities such as banking or shopping.

Sync Safari Browsing Data via iCloud for Windows

If your gear consists of a PC and iPhone or Mac, you can sync your passwords and bookmarks from Safari with Google Chrome and vice-versa by installing iCloud for Windows. That’s the most convenient method for accessing your browsing data on each platform.

iCloud for Windows also offers password syncing for Microsoft Edge and bookmarks syncing for Mozilla Firefox. However, only Chrome receives support for both.

If you don’t have iCloud for Windows on your PC, you can get it via the Microsoft Store or the Apple website . If you already have it, make sure to upgrade it to at least version 12.5 or later (you can do that via the Microsoft Store’s Downloads and updates screen or by running the Apple Software Update applet).

With iCloud for Windows up and running, open the iCloud app and check the boxes next to Passwords and Bookmarks . You can also activate additional iCloud services such as Photos and Drive if you want.

Follow that by installing the iCloud Passwords on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. The former lets you insert and save passwords to the iCloud Keychain. You can also use the iCloud Passwords app (which installs automatically alongside iCloud for Windows) to manage your passwords in Windows. On the other hand, the iCloud Bookmarks extension syncs passwords between Chrome/Firefox and Safari.

Run Safari via a macOS Virtual Machine

If you want to use the most recent version of Safari on your PC (perhaps to test a feature or extension), the only way you can do that is by running macOS via virtualization software. However, the procedure is not convenient. For starters, Mac’s operating system is not natively supported by most VM software, so installation generally relies on workarounds relying on additional software. Also, it requires lots of free disk space and uses up system resources, not to mention that virtual machine guests generally run sluggishly compared to the host operating system.

If you still want to go ahead and install macOS, the easiest way to do that is by following the instructions within this macOS Virtualbox project on GitHub. It lets you install macOS Catalina as a virtual machine via a Bash script. We’ve condensed it into the following steps:

1. Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox on your PC (it’s free).

2. Download and install Cygwin with the following dependencies (you can select them during installation).

3. Download the macos-guest-virtualbox.sh bash script from GitHub.

4. Open the Cygwin Terminal. Then, drag and drop the bash script and press Enter .

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up macOS as a virtual machine on your PC.

After the setup procedure, you can open and use Safari by selecting the Safari icon on the Mac’s Dock. Before you do that, however, it’s a good idea to update macOS and Safari. To do that, open the Apple menu and select System Preferences > Software Update > Update Now .

iCloud for Windows Is the Most Convenient

Although it’s possible to download and install Safari on your Windows 10/11 computer, we recommend you stray away from it. The security risks alone make it impractical, and it’s not like you can use it for any serious web browsing anyway due to compatibility issues.

Since the most likely reason you would want to install Safari involves syncing your passwords and bookmarks, using iCloud for Windows is the only viable alternative. But if you do have the time and just want to try out the latest version of Safari, your best option is to set up macOS as a virtual machine on your PC.

Installation of Safari for Windows 5.1.7 fails

I have been setting up a new PC with Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium). I have gotten QuickTime (32-bit) 7.7.3 and iTunes (64-bit) 10.6.3.25 installed apparently successfully (at least, iTunes works). But the Safari for Windows 5.1.7 installer gives the error message "This installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please obtain the 64-bit installer from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html ." and will not finish. I downloaded and apparently successfully installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows 2.0.2, but Safari still will not install. Does anyone have advice about how to get past that error?

Hmm...maybe I should have posted this in the "Windows Compatibility" community. I saw a link for "Safari" in the list of all communities, but I see that this is in "Mac OS & System Software > Safari > Discussions" so maybe there would be better. I'll do that too.

Dec 9, 2012 7:50 AM in response to rdchapman

From what source did you get Safari for Win? It's possible that some third-party archive might not have the latest version.

I recently installed Win7/64/HP in my iMac i7 using Boot Camp and had no trouble with this Safari version that is on Apple's web site:

Safari 5.1.7 for Windows

Is that the one you used?

As for where to post, most SafariWin users post here and you've already figured out the best way to do it: put the word "Windws" in the post title. That will get the the attention of Win uses who help out here.

Dec 9, 2012 11:17 AM in response to Allan Jones

Allan, thanks for that suggestion. However, that is exactly where I downloaded the installer that I used. I have found suggestions elsewhere on the Web, in response to a similar symptom but not the cause, that certain Apple software needs to be installed in a certain order. And if it isn't working, it needs to be uninstalled in a certain order and then reinstalled in a certain order. In my case, my guess is that installing iTunes 10.6.3 prior to the latest Safari might be causing this symptom. But that's only speculation, and I'll wait for responses before uninstalling and reinstalling next weekend.

Dec 16, 2012 12:44 PM in response to rdchapman

I started trying to follow the advice given here to uninstall various Apple software for Windows:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3287035

(which was for a different symptom, however). I encountered a couple of problems in trying to do so. The "Uninstall or change a progam" Control Panel shows two versions of Apple Mobile Device Support: 3.3.0.69 and 5.2.0.6. I tried to uninstall the older one. The uninstaller started up but quit, reproducibly, in the middle of the process, so that never got uninstalled. I tried to uninstall Bonjour separately. That did not work, either, as the message related to my failed installation of Safari for Windows came up here: "This installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. Please obtain the 64-bit installer from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html ." The installed Bonjour is version 2.0.4.0 with a date of 1/1/2011. (It is conceivable that that got copied over from a Windows XP computer that had it, so it might be a 32-bit version.) I am not sure how to uninstall that Bonjour manually. I could not find a specific 64-bit Bonjour installer here on the Apple Web site, only a Bonjour Print Services installer, which has already been run, so that is installed. (I have found on the Web an old version of 64-bit Bonjour installer, v. 1.0.6, but that would not finish, telling me that a newer Bonjour is installed.) I have found among my backups some copies of files named Bonjour.msi (version 2.0.4.0) in Apple Installer Cache folders. I cannot tell by their appearance if they are 64-bit versions or 32-bit carried over from the XP computer's file transfers. Would it do any good to try to run those directly? (I also see BonjourPS64.msi, but I'm sure that's just the Print Services already installed.) Without more insight into that error message, I may just give up on installing Safari for Windows. I hope I will be able to reinstall QuickTime and iTunes 10.6.3 and iPod support software.

Dec 29, 2012 1:30 PM in response to rdchapman

I have worked on this problem a little bit more but with no success. I tried to use Ashampoo UnInstaller 5 to uninstall Bonjour that was installed (which may be the improper 32-bit version). However, UnInstaller 5 only tried to use the Windows uninstallation process. It carried out a command " MsiExec.exe /)({2A98129-H' 14C -4FOF-9627.1J 793270922F8} " which gave the same original error message that it was intended for 32-bit Windows and I needed to obtain a 64-bit installer from a URL that does not offer it. Windows 7's Uninstall Program tries to use a file located at C:\WINDOWS\Installer\285b363d.msi , but that gave the same unsuccessful result. I was luckily able to reinstall Quicktime 7.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.3 successfully. During the iTunes installation, some component must need 64-bit Bonjour, as it gave the same error message as the Safari 5.1.7 installer, but the iTunes installation was able to proceed beyond that. I tried running all the copies of Bonjour.msi that I have, but they are all 32-bit or older versions, so none of them worked. I believe that installing Safari for Windows on this Windows 7 PC will be impossible without instructions for manually uninstalling Bonjour. Fortunately, I don't really need Safari on this PC.

That MsiExec command doesn't look right. That was from OCR of a PDF made from a screen capture. Visually, it looks like " MsiExec.exe /X{2A981294-F14C-4F0F-9627-D793270922F8} " Google has lots of references to that string.

How To Install Safari Browser On Windows 10

Download and installation of Safari Browser for Windows have been a topic of interest among users seeking Apple’s renowned browser on their Windows systems. Safari’s charm lies in its reputation for performance and user-friendly interface, making it a desirable option despite its discontinued support for Windows. Here, we’ll delve into the steps to procure Safari Browser for Windows, exploring its compatibility and the installation process.

Table of Contents

Understanding Safari’s Compatibility and Features

Safari, developed by Apple Inc., remains the default browser for macOS users, known for its sleek design and advanced functionalities. However, its availability for Windows users ceased after version 5.1.7, posing limitations due to lack of updates and potential security concerns. While it was once an option for Windows 10, continuing to use an outdated version might jeopardize online security.

Is there a Safari for Windows 10

Safari was available for Windows users, and the last supported version for Windows was Safari 5.1.7. However, after this version, Apple discontinued further development and support for Safari on Windows systems. As a result, while Safari 5.1.7 was the latest version for Windows, it’s important to note that using an outdated browser version may pose security risks due to the lack of updates and official support from Apple. Therefore, while Safari existed for Windows, the discontinued support means there isn’t a modern or actively maintained Safari version available for Windows 10.

Where can I download Safari for Windows 10?

Downloading Safari for Windows 10 involves seeking the last supported version, 5.1.7, from sources other than Apple’s official website. Regardless of whether you need the 32-bit or 64-bit version, the installer functions seamlessly. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Safari download webpage and select your desired download location on your hard drive. 2. Save the file and then click the executable to initiate the installation process. 3. Open the downloaded installation file and click “Run” to begin the setup. 4. Proceed by clicking “Next” on the Safari installer and, if prompted by the User Access Control window, click “Yes.” 5. Accept the software agreement, select required options, and click “Next.” 6. Finally, click “Install” and wait for the installation process to conclude. Once installed, Safari for Windows 10 is ready for use, offering its features on your system without extra steps.

While Safari is free for Windows and the 5.1.7 version remains the last supported release, it’s important to note that Apple has ceased providing updates or support. Consequently, using this outdated version may compromise your online security, as Apple no longer maintains the installer package or offers any updates for it.

Is Safari Free for Windows

Yes, Safari was free for Windows users during its active support period. However, it’s important to note that the last supported version for Windows was Safari 5.1.7. While it was available for free, Apple has discontinued updates and support for Safari on Windows systems.

Consequently, using this outdated version may pose security risks, as it lacks the latest security patches and updates to protect against potential vulnerabilities. Therefore, while it was free, it’s no longer recommended to use Safari on Windows due to these security concerns.

Why was Safari for Windows discontinued?

The discontinuation of Safari for Windows could be attributed to market factors, as supporting the Windows version might not have aligned with the costs and benefits for Apple. This move is similar to Microsoft releasing its Edge Chromium browser exclusively for the Windows platform.

As a result, Apple no longer provides Safari updates for Windows. Hence, the Safari 5.1.7 installer isn’t available on the official Apple website. While it’s possible to download this version from other sources, its lack of updates and official support raises security concerns.

Safari Browser for Windows 10 (Features)

Safari Browser  is the only browser that has an inbuilt DuckDuckGo support. This browser also has a no tracking feature which prevents websites from tracking you. It doesn’t let you browse insecure websites. 

Gives a warning when a user goes through insecure websites. Safari responds to user feedback even more than Chrome. The loading time of the website for both browsers is not very different.

In contrast to their predecessors, it requires a comparatively limited portion of the primary narrative. The inclusion of graphics allows Safari with fewer machine resources than other browsers to give a smoother scrolling experience and better feedback.

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.

Safari, the default web browser on all Apple devices, retains popularity among iOS and macOS users. Despite this, the option to use Safari on Windows platforms is limited due to Apple’s discontinuation of Windows-specific development. The last available version for Windows is Safari 5.1.7 , which was released on May 9, 2012. The utility of this old version of Safari on Windows is limited and usually relevant for advanced users like developers, designers, and compatibility testers. It can be used for cross-browser compatibility testing or to support specific client requirements. However, due to its outdated status and security concerns, it’s not recommended for general browsing or handling sensitive information.

Moreover, you may find the need to open files with the .webarchive extension, which are saved web pages from Safari. If you’re facing such a scenario on a Windows PC, this old version of Safari could be a useful solution.

Security Considerations

Although it’s possible to install this outdated version of Safari on Windows 10 or 11, we advise against it due to the lack of security features present in more recent browser versions. For the most secure browsing experience, we recommend using the latest versions of Chrome , Edge , or Firefox .

If you still wish to use Safari on Windows, follow the steps below.

Installing Safari on Windows

In the absence of an official download link, users need to find a trustworthy source to download Safari 5.1.7. The installation process includes accepting the license agreement, choosing installation options, selecting the installation folder, and initiating the install. The browser can be set to open immediately after installation.

• Download the Safari 5.1.7 setup file. The setup supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 11/10/8/7 systems.
• Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.

Limitations of Safari on Windows

The outdated Safari version available for Windows is slow, incompatible with many web apps, and lacks data syncing, making it ineffective for managing bookmarks and passwords.

Accessing Latest Safari Version on Windows

However, if you wish to use the latest version of Safari, you’d need to install the newest version of macOS on Windows 10/11 using virtual machine software like VirtualBox . Remember, we do not recommend installing or running outdated software due to potential security risks. Consider using alternatives like Chrome and Edge for a safer browsing experience.

Safer Alternatives: iCloud for Windows

The safer alternative to using Safari on a Windows PC is to sync your Safari browsing data to Chrome or Edge via iCloud for Windows. iCloud for Windows can be obtained from the Microsoft Store or the Apple website, and it supports password syncing for Microsoft Edge and bookmarks syncing for Mozilla Firefox. iCloud also enables you to manage your passwords in Windows and syncs passwords between Chrome/Firefox and Safari.

In conclusion, while there may be niche cases where Safari for Windows is necessary, in most instances, current Windows users are better served by using a modern and supported web browser. While some users and companies may still find a use for Safari on Windows, it is generally advised to use more updated and secure web browsers such as Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. These are continuously maintained, unlike the Safari for Windows version, which ensures a safer and more feature-rich browsing experience.
