Safari for Windows 10: How To Get and Install It

Plus, why you shouldn't do this

Author avatar

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.

Download: iCloud Passwords (Chrome)

Download: iCloud Bookmarks (Chrome)

Download: iCloud Passwords (Edge)

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.

Here is how you can install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 (if you really want to)

image 2

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple that is known for its fast performance, elegant design, and privacy features. Safari is the default browser on all Apple devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. But what if you want to use Safari on a Windows PC?

In this article, we will explore the history of Safari for Windows, the reasons why Apple discontinued it, and the possible ways to install and run it on Windows 10 or Windows 11. We will also discuss the pros and cons of using Safari for Windows, and some alternatives that you may want to consider.

Table of Contents

The history of Safari on Windows

Safari was first introduced in 2003 as part of Mac OS X Panther, and it was based on the open-source WebKit engine. Safari quickly became one of the most popular browsers on the Mac, and it was also ported to iOS devices when the iPhone was launched in 2007.

In the same year, Apple announced Safari for Windows, a version of the browser that was compatible with Windows XP and Vista. Steve Jobs, the then-CEO of Apple, claimed that Safari for Windows was faster and more secure than other browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Safari for Windows was also intended to attract more developers to create web applications for the iPhone, which did not support Adobe Flash at the time.

Apple continued to update Safari for Windows along with the Mac version, adding features such as a reader mode, extensions, and developer tools. However, Safari for Windows never gained much traction among Windows users, who preferred other browsers that had more market share and compatibility. According to StatCounter, Safari for Windows had less than 1% of the global browser market share in 2012.

The last version of Safari for Windows was 5.1.7, released in May 2012. Apple did not release Safari 6 for Windows, which was launched for Mac OS X Mountain Lion in July 2012. Apple also quietly removed the download links for Safari for Windows from its website, effectively ending the support and development of the browser for the Windows platform.

The reasons why Apple discontinued Safari for Windows

Apple never officially explained why it stopped making Safari for Windows, but there are several possible reasons. One reason is that Safari for Windows was not very profitable for Apple, as it did not generate any revenue from advertising or services, unlike Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Apple also did not have a strong incentive to promote its browser on Windows, as it did not have any other products or services that could benefit from it, unlike Google or Microsoft.

Another reason is that Safari for Windows was not very popular among Windows users, as it faced stiff competition from other browsers that had more features, extensions, and compatibility. Safari for Windows also had some technical issues, such as security vulnerabilities, performance problems, and a user interface that did not match the Windows design. Safari for Windows also did not support some web standards and technologies that were widely used by other browsers, such as HTML5 video, WebGL, and WebRTC.

A third reason is that Safari for Windows was not very important for Apple’s strategy, as it focused more on its own platforms and devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads. Apple also invested more in developing its own web technologies and innovations, such as Intelligent Tracking Prevention, Safari App Extensions, and Web Inspector. Apple also wanted to differentiate its browser from other browsers that were based on the Chromium engine, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera.

The possible ways to install and run Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11

If you still want to use Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, there are some possible ways to do so, but they are not recommended or supported by Apple. Here are some of them:

Download and install Safari 5.1.7 for Windows from a third-party website

Safari for Windows (Installer)

This is the easiest and most straightforward way to get Safari for Windows, but it is also the most risky and unreliable. Safari 5.1.7 for Windows is an outdated and unsupported browser that may have security flaws, compatibility issues, and performance problems. It may also not work properly on Windows 10 or Windows 11, as it was designed for Windows XP and Vista. You may also encounter some malware or viruses when downloading the installer from an untrusted source. Therefore, we do not recommend this method, and if you decide to try it, do so at your own risk and discretion.

Safari running on Windows 11

Install and run Safari for Windows using a virtual machine software

This is a more complex and resource-intensive way to get Safari for Windows, but it may offer a better and safer experience. A virtual machine software, such as VirtualBox or VMware , allows you to create and run a virtual computer within your Windows PC, where you can install and run another operating system, such as macOS or Windows XP.

You can then download and install Safari for Windows on the virtual computer, and use it as if you were using a real Mac or Windows XP PC. However, this method requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU power, and it may affect the performance and battery life of your Windows PC. You also need to have a valid license and installation media for the operating system that you want to run on the virtual machine. Moreover, you still need to deal with the limitations and drawbacks of Safari for Windows, such as the lack of updates and features.

Install and run the latest version of Safari using a virtual machine software

This is the most advanced and expensive way to get Safari for Windows, but it may offer the best and most up-to-date experience. This method involves installing and running the latest version of macOS on a virtual machine on your Windows PC, and then using the latest version of Safari that is available for macOS. iboysoft has a great guide that will provide you step by step instructions.

This way, you can enjoy all the features and benefits of Safari, such as the fast performance, elegant design, and privacy protections.

Depending on if you are willing or not willing to sail to the seven seas, You also need to have a compatible Mac computer that can run the latest version of macOS, and a valid Apple ID that can access the Mac App Store.

You need to note that Apple does not allow installing macOS on non-Apple hardware, and it may violate the terms and conditions of the software license agreement, so keep thatn in mind before you go hunting for an ISO.

Why you may want to install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC?

I will say this again: installing Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11 is not a good idea (will be discussing why not in just a minute) but there are some legit reasons you may want to run Safari on your Windows PC:

  • You can test and debug your web applications and websites on Safari, which may be useful for web developers and designers who want to ensure cross-browser compatibility and functionality.
  • You can sync your bookmarks, history, passwords, and tabs with your other Apple devices, such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads, if you use iCloud and sign in with your Apple ID.
  • You can experience the look and feel of Safari, which may be appealing to some users who like the minimalist and elegant design of the browser.
  • You can use some of the features and innovations that are unique to Safari, such as the reader mode, the Safari App Extensions, and the Web Inspector.

And before you go ahead and install a virtual machine in your PC or install an unsupported version on your computer, please understand that:

  • You may expose yourself to security risks and threats, as Safari for Windows is an outdated and unsupported browser that may have unpatched vulnerabilities and bugs.
  • You may encounter compatibility issues and errors, as Safari for Windows may not support some web standards and technologies that are widely used by other browsers and websites.
  • You may experience performance problems and crashes, as Safari for Windows may not run smoothly or efficiently on Windows 10 or Windows 11, especially on newer hardware and software configurations.
  • You may miss out on many features and improvements that are available on the latest version of Safari, such as the Intelligent Tracking Prevention, the customisable start page, and the tab groups.

The alternatives to Safari for Windows

If you are looking for a web browser that can offer a similar or better experience than Safari for Windows, you may want to consider some of the alternatives that are available for Windows 10 or Windows 11. Here are some of them:

  • Microsoft Edge: This is the default and recommended browser for Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it is based on the Chromium engine, which powers Google Chrome and other browsers. Edge offers a fast and secure browsing experience, with features such as Collections, Vertical Tabs, Immersive Reader, and Password Monitor. Edge also supports extensions from the Microsoft Store and the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Microsoft account and other devices. Edge also has a built-in tracking prevention feature, which can block trackers and ads from websites, and a Kids Mode, which can provide a safe and fun browsing environment for children.
  • Google Chrome: This is the most popular and widely used browser in the world, and it is also based on the Chromium engine. Chrome offers a reliable and versatile browsing experience, with features such as Google Translate, Chrome Remote Desktop, and Chrome OS. Chrome also supports thousands of extensions from the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Google account and other devices. Chrome also has a built-in malware and phishing protection feature, which can warn you of dangerous websites and downloads, and a Incognito Mode, which can prevent your browsing history and cookies from being saved.
  • Mozilla Firefox: This is one of the oldest and most respected browsers in the world, and it is based on the Gecko engine, which is developed by Mozilla. Firefox offers a fast and private browsing experience, with features such as Firefox Monitor, Firefox Send, and Firefox Lockwise. Firefox also supports extensions from the Firefox Add-ons Store, and it can sync your data with your Firefox account and other devices. Firefox also has a built-in Enhanced Tracking Protection feature, which can block trackers, ads, and fingerprinters from websites, and a Private Browsing Mode, which can erase your browsing history and cookies after you close the window.
  • Opera : This is a browser that is known for its innovative and unique features, and it is also based on the Chromium engine. Opera offers a smooth and convenient browsing experience, with features such as Opera Turbo, Opera Flow, and Opera GX. Opera also supports extensions from the Opera Add-ons Store and the Chrome Web Store, and it can sync your data with your Opera account and other devices. Opera also has a built-in ad blocker and VPN feature, which can block ads and trackers from websites, and hide your IP address and location from prying eyes, and a Snapshot Mode, which can capture and edit screenshots of web pages.

The conclusion

Safari for Windows was a web browser that was developed by Apple and released in 2007, but it was discontinued in 2012. Safari for Windows was not very successful or popular among Windows users, as it faced many challenges and limitations, such as security risks, compatibility issues, and performance problems. Safari for Windows was also not very relevant or important for Apple’s strategy, as it focused more on its own platforms and devices, and its own web technologies and innovations.

If you want to use Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, there are some possible ways to do so, but they are not recommended or supported by Apple.

We hope this article has helped you understand how to install Safari on Windows 10 or Windows 11, and what are the pros and cons of using it. Thank you for reading, and happy browsing!

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

Safari for Windows

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

Save and download Safari for Windows

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

Run the Safari for Windows installer

  • 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

Install Safari for Windows

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

Safari in Windows 10

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.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:b8rtxfVamBAJ:lifehacker.com/5938332/how-to-run-mac-os-x-on-any-windows-pc-using-virtualbox+

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:

Running the Latest Safari WebKit on Windows

Safari runs on windows.

I can't believe it took me this long to figure this out, but it's totally possible to run the latest WebKit/Safari on Windows locally and debug issues that would otherwise require emulation, a remote machines or a Mac!

Not only can it be done but it's extremely easy to do, and in this article I will go over the 2 simplest ways to get up and running.

Method #1: Playwright CLI

This first method is by far the easiest as it only requires having Node.js installed which comes with npm/npx. Once you have Node.js installed you will need to run the Playwright command to download the browsers.

Open up the Command Prompt and type npx playwright install , then once this is done you can open up a url in WebKit by running the follow command npx playwright wk https://dustinbrett.com/ , as described in the docs for Command line tools -> Open Pages .

MiniBrowser.exe

Method #2: Download Build Artifacts

As described in the Webkit Wiki , the files required are built often and can be easily downloaded and combined.

The first file that is needed comes from the Webkit CI Builders , specifically WinCairo-64-bit-Release-Build .

Webkit CI Builders

Open the latest green build and download the zip file mentioned after S3 URL on the transfer-to-s3 step.

Download From S3

Now you will need to download one more zip file from the WebKitForWindows Releases by downloading WebKitRequirementsWin64.zip from the Assets section of the most recent release.

Then extract both files to the same folder so that the bin64 folders become combined. All other folders can be deleted as they are not needed. Go into the combined bin64 folder and launch MiniBrowser.exe and you are up and running.

This version has more features compared to the Playwright one and allows turning on and off Experimental & Internal Debug Features.

Experimental & Internal Debug Features

Both versions have the familiar Web Inspector which is extremely helpful to have locally.

I thought this was such a useful trick that I also made a video showing how to do it, feel free to check it out!

Safari for Windows: Feel the Apple Touch on Windows PC

running safari on windows

Apple has stopped supporting Safari for Windows for quite some time, and there are no updates, bug fixes, or patches available. Besides that, using older versions of Safari on PC might invite malware from certain websites. Given the risk, it is not really advisable to download and use Safari on Windows for regular users.

Just in case if you are a developer, designer, or a UI tester, you will need to check browser compatibility for your project. This is where downloading and using Safari on Windows becomes inevitable. There are two ways to use Safari on Windows PC:

  • Using an older version of Safari by downloading the executable file
  • Using online service to use Safari with Mac OS X environment

We will discuss both of them in details, keep reading.

How to Install and Use Safari Browser on Windows PC

Step #1. On your Windows PC, download Safari by clicking here .

Step #2. Depending on the browser you are using; you might be prompted to Save the file, or it will automatically start downloading the file without prompting.

Save Safari Setup on Windows PC

Step #3. After the download is completed, double click it and go through the installation process.

Install Safari on Windows

Step #4. Once the installation is completed, you can launch it and start browsing as usual.

Use Safari on Windows PC

That’s it! You are now ready to experience the Apple touch on your Windows PC. Reiterating the risk, make sure you do not do any important things on the Safari-like accessing your bank accounts, making payments, buying things from Amazon or other websites that need your personal information.

This version of Safari is quite old and is prone to many web vulnerabilities that have already been fixed in modern browsers. Unless and until it is critically inevitable, we strongly discourage users to use Safari on Windows PC.

Besides security concerns, there are not many plugins available for the older version of Safari, which is easily available on Firefox and Google Chrome.

How to Use Safari on Windows PC using Online Service

Step #1. Open Crossbrowsertesting.com on any of the browser in your Windows PC.

Step #2. Create a free account with the site and log in.

Click on Start A Free Trail to Create Account in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Step #3. From the left menu, hover your mouse pointer on “Live Testing” option and then click on “Start a Live Test.”

Click on Start a Live Test in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Step #4. On the right, under the “Desktop” tab, click on the drop-down menu and then click on the Mac OSX version.

Click on the drop-down menu next to Mac OSX in Crossbrowsertesting Web

Once you select the Mac OSX version, you’ll notice that the menu beside it will automatically select Safari 11.

Step #5. All you need to do now is to enter the website in the text field. Click “Run Test” button to load up the website.

Enter the Website and click on Run Test to Use Online Safari Web Browser

You can change scaling, resolution , take the screenshot, record video, and many other things from the top menu bar.

Use Safari for Windows PC

This is certainly not very smooth for day-to-day use for normal users. This again comes in handy for developers and testers. It is much more secure compared to downloading an older version of the Safari.

Personally, I was not much impressed with the browsing experience as there were a lot of lags while scrolling. But as a tester, I wouldn’t mind using it, as getting different devices physically is a tedious and expensive task.

The service offers 100 minutes of free browsing, and then you can go with different paid plans if you are happy with it.

Signing off…

It would have been great if Apple continued Safari support for Windows PC as it would have made life a lot easier for a lot of people. Especially for developers and designers, who need to check their work on different browsers.

Safari is far more responsive to user input than Chrome. The page loading time isn’t vastly different between the two browsers. It also takes a relatively small portion of the primary memory as compared to its counterparts. The graphics integration allows the safari to offer a smoother scrolling experience and sharper feedback while using fewer system resources than other browsers.

  • AutoFill Passwords:

The password manager is a feature for both iOS and macOS Mojave, and it will make your life easier on the web infinitely. You can enter into an account with the help of face id. Remembering passwords is no longer required; you would have to enter your credentials only once. The autofill feature also covers the security codes for two-factor authentication, which are enabled by third-party companies. There is one feature that Google Chrome has recently started to provide, which is suggesting the user an auto-generated super-strong password. Safari was the first browser to provide such an opportunity. It offers you to save the passwords to your keychain.

  • Improved Battery Life:

Chrome browser takes a toll on the battery life of the computer. Apple has designed Safari in such a way that enables the opportunity to maximize battery on its products. According to various sources, using Chrome over Safari costs as much as an hour of battery life daily. It is especially true in older systems. Apple provides a secure hardware environment. Safari browser runs fewer individual processes than Chrome and is generally less processor-intensive.

You’re probably wondering, why bother with installing Safari for Windows in the first place when it hasn’t been inactive production for years? The answer for typical users of Windows PC is; you should not install it. For other experienced users, like developers, designers, UI testers, support techs, it may be essential to have older versions of browsers available for testing purposes or to support a specific client. That’s how advanced Mac users run older versions of Internet Explorer along with new releases like Microsoft Edge in Mac OS for testing. The question is, Should you use Safari for Windows full time? The answer is No, most certainly not. If you’re a Windows PC guy in need of a good web browser, you would be better off using MS Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. The sole reason is simply that these browsers are still preserved while Safari for Windows has long been abandoned. Nonetheless, if you still need to use it, you can run Safari on a Windows PC by following the method mentioned above.

Part 3. Where to Download Safari for Windows?

Apple has stopped providing updates for Safari for Windows. There are no bug fixes or patches available for the users of Windows PC. If you are a designer or a UI tester, you will need to check browser compatibility for your project. This is where downloading and using Safari on a Windows PC becomes unavoidable. Here we will discuss the method to download Safari on Windows.

  • Download the executable file of Safari for Windows.
  • The downloading will automatically start.
  • After downloading Safari for Windows 10 using a compressed file, extract the contents of the installation file into a target folder.

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-3

  • Double-click on Safari.exe to launch Safari Browser on your Windows 10.
  • Click on Next and then Finish to complete the installation.

how-to-download-safari-on-windows-4

  • Launch the browser and start browsing as usual.

Remember, the version that you have installed on your computer is older. Apple does not support the Windows version of Safari. It is no longer in development. It is entirely up to you if you want to run Safari in Windows. Do not do anything important or severe on it. This version of the safari lacks many modern web updates and features. It has not been taught the latest techniques for modern security and privacy issues. Safari on Windows should be used by advanced users, as there are a host of problems that could occur while running it.

Part 4. How to Run Safari on Windows?

You can also run Safari on Windows by using an online service. The process is called Cross-browser testing; it is the ability to test web programs across many browsers. It also involves checking the compatibility of your software, those browsers, and ensuring that it works correctly. It also allows you to run the latest version of the web browsers which are not compatible with your operating system. It includes the latest version of Safari, which is not available on Windows.

The whole procedure is not very ideal for day-to-day use for a regular user. But it comes in handy for developers, designers, and testers. Using a third-party browser tester is much more secure compared to downloading an older version of the Safari.

How to Find the New iCloud Folders in Windows File Explorer?

iCloud is the Apple cloud service app for backing up data and syncing it between different devices. While it's mainly integrated into that Apple’s products, such as Mac computers and iPhones, iCloud is also accessible on Windows PCs.

iCloud for Windows is an official app from Apple that downloads and installs on your Windows 10 computer, laptop, or tablet. Installing this app allows for specific data to sync to your Windows device from your iCloud account. To access iCloud on a Windows device, all you need is an Apple ID and password. This will allow you access to other Apple products like iTunes.

If you install iCloud for Windows, a new Photos folder is created on the Windows device. The folder can be found within File Explorer. Depending on the preferences that you have selected during the iCloud setup, this folder can be used for viewing files from your linked iCloud devices or for uploading data from Windows to your iCloud account. Each folder will sync files and data to the iCloud account. It will also sync data to all the connected devices within the iCloud for Windows app.

All the folders of the iCloud will be automatically pinned to the Quick Access menu in Windows File Explorer. You should be able to see those folders as soon as you open the File Explorer. It is important to note that once you use the iCloud for Windows to set up your folders and settings, there is very little use for it beyond changing preferences in the future. All of your file management will take place within the new folders of the newly installed application.

Safari Browser for Windows 10/11 — How to Download and Install

Safari for Windows 10

Click to download Outbyte PC Repair and discover its benefits for your Windows system.

Designed for Windows 10 and 11.

Take advantage of our special offer to enhance your PC performance. For more details, please read About Outbyte , and Uninstall Instructions . Also, please review our End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy .

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.

Expert Tip: For smoother PC performance, consider using a PC optimization tool . It handles junk files, incorrect settings, and harmful apps. Make sure it's right for your system, and always check the EULA and Privacy Policy.

Special offer. About Outbyte , uninstall instructions , EULA , Privacy Policy .

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.

Privacy is built in.

Online privacy isn’t just something you should hope for — it’s something you should expect. That’s why Safari comes with industry-leading privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. Upgrading to iCloud+ gives you even more privacy protections, including the ability to sign up for websites and services without having to share your personal email address.

running safari on windows

Intelligent Tracking Prevention

running safari on windows

Safari stops trackers in their tracks.

What you browse is no one’s business but your own. Safari has built‑in protections to help stop websites and data-collection companies from watching and profiling you based on your browsing activity. Intelligent Tracking Prevention uses on‑device intelligence to help prevent cross‑site tracking and stops known trackers from using your IP address — making it incredibly difficult to learn who you are and what you’re interested in.

Privacy Report

Safari makes it simple to see how your privacy is protected on all the websites you visit. Click Privacy Report in the Safari menu for a snapshot of cross-site trackers currently prevented from profiling you on the website you’re visiting. Or view a weekly Privacy Report to see how Safari protects you as you browse over time.

Customization

Putting the you in url..

Safari is more customizable than ever. Organize your tabs into Tab Groups so it’s easy to go from one interest to the next. Set a custom background image and fine-tune your browser window with your favorite features — like Reading List, Favorites, iCloud Tabs, and Siri Suggestions. And third-party extensions for iPhone, iPad, and Mac let you do even more with Safari, so you can browse the way you want across all your devices.

running safari on windows

Safari Profiles allow you to separate your history, extensions, Tab Groups, favorites, cookies, and more. Quickly switch between profiles for topics you create, like Personal and Work.

Web apps let you save your favorite websites to the Dock on Mac and to the Home Screen on iPhone and iPad. A simplified toolbar and separate settings give you an app-like experience.

Safari Extensions add functionality to your browser to help you explore the web the way you want. Find and add your favorite extensions in the dedicated Safari category on the App Store.

Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you. Name your Tab Groups, edit them, and switch among them across devices. You can also share Tab Groups — making planning your next family trip or group project easier and more collaborative.

Built-in tools create a browsing experience that’s far more immersive, intuitive, and immediate.

Notes is your go-to app to capture any thought. And with the Quick Note feature, you can instantly jot down ideas as you browse websites without having to leave Safari.

Surf safe and sound.

Strong security protections in Safari help keep you safe. Passkeys introduce a safer way to sign in. iCloud Keychain securely stores and autofills passkeys and passwords across all your devices. Safari also notifies you when it encounters suspicious websites and prevents them from loading. Because it loads each web page in a separate process, any harmful code is always confined to a single browser tab so it won’t crash the entire application or access your data. And Safari automatically upgrades sites from HTTP to the more secure HTTPS when available.

running safari on windows

Passkeys introduce a more secure and easier way to sign in. No passwords required.

Passkeys are end-to-end encrypted and safe from phishing and data leaks, and they are stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. Thanks to iCloud Keychain, they work across all your Apple devices, and they even work on non-Apple devices.

Apple Pay and Wallet make checkout as easy as lifting a finger.

Apple Pay is the easiest and most secure way to shop on Safari — allowing you to complete transactions with Face ID or Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad, with Touch ID on your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or by double-clicking the side button on your Apple Watch.

Learn more about Apple Pay

With AutoFill, you can easily fill in your previously saved credit card information from the Wallet app during checkout. Your credit card details are never shared, and your transactions are protected with industry-leading security.

Same Safari. Different device.

Safari works seamlessly and syncs your passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and more across Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. And when your Mac, iOS, or iPadOS devices are near each other, they can automatically pass what you’re doing in Safari from one device to another using Handoff. You can even copy images, video, or text from Safari on your iPhone or iPad, then paste into another app on your nearby Mac — or vice versa.

running safari on windows

When you use Safari on multiple devices, your tabs carry over from one Apple device to another. So you can search, shop, work, or browse on your iPhone, then switch to your iPad or Mac and pick up right where you left off.

Save web pages you want to read later by adding them to your Reading List. Then view them on any of your iCloud-connected devices — even if you’re not connected to the internet.

iCloud Keychain securely stores your user names, passkeys, passwords, and credit card numbers and keeps them up to date on your trusted devices. So you can easily sign in to your favorite websites — as well as apps on iOS and iPadOS — and quickly make online purchases.

running safari on windows

Designed for developers.

Deep WebKit integration between Mac hardware and macOS allows Safari to deliver the fastest performance and the longest battery life of any browser on the platform, while supporting modern web standards for rich experiences in the browser. WebKit in macOS Sonoma includes optimizations that enable even richer browsing experiences, and give developers more control over styling and layout — allowing for more engaging content.

Make Safari your default browser

Customize your start page, view your browsing privacy report, monitor your saved passwords, use apple pay in safari, view your tabs across all your devices, read the safari user guide, get safari support.

Safari for Windows 10.

I have a Windows Computer that's running Windows 10 and I'd like to know if I can install Safari on My PC. Chrome just isn't safe and bad things keep happening on it. Safari is a lot safer, faster, and just better in general.

Safari for Windows has not been updated since May 2012 and is today a huge security risk. Do not use it.

When I get on a Windows computer I use FireFox. It is a very stable and safe browser. To avoid malware get it ONLY from the developers' site:
