The term safari in popular use refers to overland travel to view the stunning African wildlife , particularly on savanna. There are also "primate safaris" and safaris in forests/jungle. Most countries have at least one national park offering visitors the opportunity to go "on safari", except in North Africa and the limited opportunities in the Sahel .
In colonial times, the main attraction of a safari was usually big game hunting ; for most travellers today, it is about viewing and photographing wildlife .
Safari is the Swahili word for a long journey (by any means). The safari as known to Westerners originates in an 1836-37 British expedition that set out purely to observe and document wildlife and landscapes of southern Africa. This expedition set a style to be followed by many other colonial-era expeditions and hunting parties in the savannas of Southern and East Africa, beginning with a minimally-strenuous rising at first light, an energetic day walking, an afternoon rest then concluding with a formal dinner and telling stories in the evening over drinks and tobacco. It is from these Victorian-era explorers that khaki clothes, pith helmets, multi-pocketed safari jackets, and leopard-print clothes and accessories have become associated with safari style.
Today, a safari can take on a range of forms, from week-long stays at a private lodge with daytrips on the savanna in search of the "Big Five" of wildlife, to a minibus and guide hired for the day to drive backpackers through a national park to view the animals. Not only do the general travel styles (accommodations, transport, difficulty, etc.) cover a wide range of options, but the terrain and types of wildlife also vary greatly by region. The most common image of a safari is one in which travelers are taken by 4x4 across the savanna in search of the "Big Five" that generally attract the most interest—elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. Such safaris are offered primarily in Southern and East Africa , particularly Kenya , Tanzania , Zambia , Zimbabwe , Botswana , Namibia , and South Africa . Safaris in this region are big business and nearly all local governments are keen on conservation and aware that the visitors are a boost to their economy. As a result, many parks have strict regulations both on visitor activities and behavior in the park and on the safari guides who operate in them, along with modest-to-expensive entry and camping fees. Among the most well-known parks to experience such safaris are South Africa's Kruger National Park , Tanzania's Ngorongoro Crater , the Okavango Delta region of Botswana, and the Tsavo East / West National Parks. Nairobi National Park on the edge of Kenya's sprawling capital is popular for its accessible location and the ever-elusive picture of cheetahs with skyscrapers in the distance.
It is very important to have enough water on hand, because the national parks can be very hot, with 30°C in the shade being common. Slap on liberal amounts of sunscreen and wear a wide-brimmed hat that will not be blown off in the wind. On the other hand, early morning and night drives can be distinctly chilly during the African winter, so a sweater or coat will come in handy.
Game drives are best enjoyed when you have good optical equipment such as binoculars, still cameras and video cameras. All optical equipment has to cope with very difficult light conditions, such as intense sunlight during daytime and very little light at the crack of dawn when many predators are active.
Some animals, such as elephants and giraffes, tend to approach closely to cars and standard equipment will allow good viewing. Lions, cheetahs and leopards are sometimes shy and you will see them better with binoculars. Binoculars should have 10× magnification, ideally with night vision glass quality.
Good safari photography doesn't come easily or cheaply. The most obvious requirement is a telephoto lens : 200mm is a practical minimum, 300mm is better, and the pros (especially birdwatchers) carry 500mm lenses that could be mistaken for a telescope. However, it's not enough for the lens to be merely long -- you'll also need a fast lens that works well in low-light conditions in the morning and evening. Unfortunately, a lens that's both long and fast can be ludicrously expensive. You can compensate to some extent with a tripod or its more portable cousin the monopod - with any lens past 300mm this becomes a practical necessity to eliminate blurriness.
If you have an SLR or similar prosumer camera, spend some time studying your camera's settings. A large aperture (small number) will help the subject stand out by blurring the background. Continuous focusing mode is useful for tracking moving animals.
Remember that you may shoot more pictures than ever before in your life because there are so many interesting things to see. If you shoot on film, you should consider having as much as five times as much as you would usually take, while if you do so on digital you may want many more memory cards or other storage media than usual.The same thing applies for your camera battery, which is likely to be flat after just one day of game viewing. Big lenses and continuous focusing will suck on the battery more than usual.
And when you get back to your lodge, take a few minutes to wipe clean your gear , or fine dust will wreak havoc in anything with moving parts -- most notably those expensive zoom lenses.
The three basic safari styles are driving safaris, walking safaris, and mobile safaris. In some regions, options may include safaris on boats or canoes (similar to driving safaris) or riding on horses or elephants (similar to walking safaris). Some operators offer aerial trips over parks on hot air balloons or light aircraft that are marketed as "safaris" – these offer breath-taking views of the environment, but they aren't as good as traditional safaris for wildlife viewing, except for the rare glimpse of large herds of animals. A "fly-in safari" is any of these types of safari where the visitor is flown directly to (or very close to) a lodge in a light aircraft, rather than driving hours overland from an international airport.
The driving safari is by far the most popular form of safari and is best for most first-timers as it is easier, often cheaper, and generally allows you to see more wildlife. A driving safari can be a one-day affair, but it often includes a couple of nights spent camping (for those on small budgets) or in lodges within the park. Low-price driving safaris are often made in minibuses without a guaranteed window seat. Luxury safaris on a large budget will likely include drives in a 4x4 Land Cruiser or Land Rover with only a handful of other people, and stays at fine lodges with swimming pools, spas, private balconies, and numerous other quality amenities. A walking safari (also called a "bush walk", "hiking safari", or going "footing") consists of hiking, either for a few hours or several days. These safaris don't permit viewing as many animals as when driving, but allow a much more intimate experience. Hiking safari goers will be able to get closer to some animals (not too close, as most are dangerous) and have experiences like stumbling upon the bones of a recent lion kill. Mobile safaris are the ultimate in luxury. Harkening back to the colonial era, a mobile safari is where an entire camp or lodge is set up each night of your safari. In the morning, you will leave by 4x4 or foot to explore the park, a small camp with meals already prepared is set up for lunch, and after more sightseeing, you arrive at a luxurious camp of spacious living, dining, and sleeping tents outfitted with comfortable chairs, beds, and accessories. These camps are moved during the day by a team of staff you likely won't encounter and are ready for your arrival at the next location each night.
For the most basic trip, consisting of a group packed in a minivan and camping overnight, you should have a minimum budget of US$70/day, while some of the most visited parks may cost US$100–150/day. A luxury trip flying into a lodge for a week with guided, personal 4x4 trips onto the savanna with an assurance of seeing every animal desired can easily run over US$1000/day. If a tour operator offers you a package at a price that seems too good to be true, it likely is, and there is probably a good reason why (unless it's an outright lie) someone might be offering a significantly lower price than a dozen other operators for the same park. This can be the result of hidden fees (arriving at the park, when the operator tells you to pay your US$50 entrance fee or camping permit...it wasn't covered), large errors/omissions/lies when calculating a price, an unlicensed operator, abusive labor practices (paying inexperienced porters exceptionally low wages compared with other operators), poor equipment (a 30-year-old minibus in disrepair), length of the trip (a "daytrip" may be a quick 4-hr drive, rather than a slow journey from dawn to dusk), and extras that you may not have thought of or for which this operator plans to charge a steep fee (not providing food, water, sunscreen, and insect repellant...but offering snacks for a fee). Make sure to thoroughly check what each tour operator provides in their cost and make sure it's put in writing before payment and the start of the safari! You may also want to ask fellow travelers in hotels, hostels, or restaurants for their experiences with local safari operators.
Self-drive safaris are possible in some parks, but highly discouraged for first-time safari goers. For some parks, part of licensing tour guides is education on the local wildlife and environment, which independent safari goers will miss out on, and a good guide will know the best times and places to glimpse wildlife, which is largely lost on independent safaris. Most parks have placed restrictions on the behavior of visitors for both conservation purposes and your safety, especially, which may be difficult for novices to follow when unaccompanied. Roads are often rough and sometimes difficult to navigate without offroad driving experience. Not only that, but most rental car agencies will not rent vehicles without a driver or for off-road use. Independent drivers will also want an HF radio to communicate with park rangers and others for safety reasons and should not exit their vehicle without a firearm—obviously those lions and leopards bringing down massive wildebeest and zebras will have easy pickings preying on you! The relatively high entrance fees for most parks (and, if applicable, vehicle rental) often narrows the difference in cost between an independent driving safari and going with a licensed operator to the point that the latter is a good value.
Bear in mind that most wildlife parks and reserves are large, with some animals elusive and/or nocturnal. For this reason, booking a longer safari allows you to see more of what you want to see. One-day safaris are often touted in small towns near major parks. However, a part of your trip will be spent between orientation and simply driving to/from the park – 8 hours and US$100 later, you may be disappointed in only seeing a couple of the big five, from a long distance. Most people will want to spend at least 3 days (2 nights) on safari, allowing time to slowly drive through areas rich in animal life, wait patiently in spots for animals to pass by, drive close to groups of animals, and maybe even venture out at night to view lions on the hunt or the nocturnal and elusive leopard.
Some people believe it is more ethical to support only locals (ie. African owned/operated tour operators) as part of a sustainable or ethical/responsible travel ideology. There are pros and cons to practicing this when booking a safari and the ultimate choice is left to the individual. There are many quality safari operators owned, run, and staffed by locals who provide a good product liked by their clients. However, for every quality local safari operator, there are 1-2 operators who are dishonest (with fees and promises), offer poor service (broken promises, lack of good equipment like tents, use very old/unsafe vehicles), operate unlicensed, don't offer proper equipment (no firearms when leaving vehicle, use poorly maintained vehicles), or circumvent laws (not acquire proper permits or respect conservation laws), while some con artists will approach travelers as safari operators and seem convincing, only to disappear after receiving payment or after a small part of the promised safari has been provided. On the other hand, there are many non-native safari operators who have lived in Africa for a considerable portion of their lives and are keen on conservation, pay local staff better than African-owned safari operators, work with locals in nearby communities to supply fresh fruits or veggies, and are more knowledgeable both with the local environment and Western culture (more relatable in conversation, more fluent in English). Ecotourism and establishments practicing responsible tourism are increasingly common in sub-Saharan Africa and with higher cost of running such establishments (lodges, tour operators), many are not owned/operated by locals, yet nonetheless operate to ethical standards. In short, the merits of responsible travel are noble, but when discerning which safari operator to choose, the answer is not black-and-white (pardon the pun), with a wide number of factors to consider and the ultimate choice being left to the traveler.

The name Safari, however, wasn't decided on until less than a month before the browser was originally launched. A number of different names were suggested, including 'Freedom', but none of them seemed right.
The name 'iBrowse' was used sarcastically within the team, though it was never used within the code. The development code name for Safari was 'Alexander'.
From that point on, we had a brief discussion about the product name at random HI design sessions every month. Again, I don’t remember any particular name we talked about. They all sounded so awful to me that I’ve purged from my mind the trauma of imagining the browser being labeled with any of them. And the candidate names seemed to get worse the closer we got to shipping. I’m not sure if any of the names I heard came from Steve after that initial session. I think he doomed some group in Marketing to iterate on them for awhile. And the few names I proposed were stinkers too. No one was without sin here. Finally I stopped thinking about it because of more important things to worry about — like actually getting the engineering done.
In the end, the name 'Safari' was chosen and the rest is history.

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple . It is built into Apple's operating systems, including macOS , iOS , iPadOS and visionOS , and uses Apple's open-source browser engine WebKit , which was derived from KHTML .

Safari was introduced in Mac OS X Panther in January 2003. It has been included with the iPhone since the first generation iPhone in 2007. At that time, Safari was the fastest browser on the Mac. Between 2007 and 2012, Apple maintained a Windows version, [6] [7] but abandoned it due to low market share. In 2010, Safari 5 introduced a reader mode, extensions, and developer tools. Safari 11, released in 2017, added Intelligent Tracking Prevention, which uses artificial intelligence to block web tracking . Safari 13 added support for Apple Pay , and authentication with FIDO2 security keys. Its interface was redesigned in Safari 15.
Netscape Navigator rapidly became the dominant Mac browser after its 1994 release, and eventually came bundled with Mac OS. [8] In 1996, Microsoft released Internet Explorer for Mac , and Apple released the Cyberdog internet suite, which included a web browser. In 1997, Apple shelved Cyberdog, and reached a five-year agreement with Microsoft to make IE the default browser on the Mac, starting with Mac OS 8.1 . Netscape continued to be preinstalled on all Macintoshes . [8] Microsoft continued to update IE for Mac, which was ported to Mac OS X DP4 in May 2000. [9]
During development, several codenames were used including "Freedom", "iBrowse" and "Alexander" (a reference to conqueror Alexander the Great , an homage to the Konqueror web browser). [10] [11]
On January 7, 2003, at Macworld San Francisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced Safari that was based on [12] WebKit , the company's internal fork of the KHTML browser engine. [13] Apple released the first beta version exclusively on Mac OS X the same day. Later that date, several official and unofficial beta versions followed until version 1.0 was released on June 23, 2003. [14] [15] On Mac OS X v10.3, Safari was pre-installed as the system's default browser, rather than requiring a manual download, as was the case with the previous Mac OS X versions. Safari's predecessor, the Internet Explorer for Mac, was then included in 10.3 as an alternative. [16]
In April 2005, Engineer Dave Hyatt fixed several bugs in Safari. His experimental beta passed the Acid2 rendering test on April 27, 2005, marking it the first browser to do so. [17] [18] Safari 2.0 which was released on April 29, 2005, was the sole browser Mac OS X 10.4 offered by default. Apple touted this version as it was capable of running a 1.8x speed boost compared to version 1.2.4 but it did not yet feature the Acid2 bug fixes. These major changes were initially unavailable for end-users unless they privately installed and compiled the WebKit source code or ran one of the nightly automated builds available at OpenDarwin . Version 2.0.2, released on October 31, 2005, finally included the Acid2 bug fixes. [19]
In June 2005 in efforts of KHTML criticisms over the lack of access to change logs, Apple moved the development source code and bug tracking of WebCore and JavaScriptCore to OpenDarwin. They have also open-sourced WebKit. The source code is for non-renderer aspects of the browser such as its GUI elements and the remaining proprietary. [20] The final stable version of Safari 2 and the last version released exclusively with Mac OS X, Safari 2.0.4, was updated on January 10, 2006, for Mac OS X. It was only available within Mac OS X Update 10.4.4, and it delivered fixes to layout and CPU usage issues among other improvements. [21]
On January 9, 2007, at Macworld San Francisco, Jobs unveiled that Safari 3 was ported to the newly-introduced iPhone within iPhone OS (later called iOS). [22] [23] The mobile version was capable of displaying full, desktop-class websites. [24] At WWDC 2007 , Jobs announced Safari 3 for Mac OS X 10.5 , Windows XP, and Windows Vista. He ran a benchmark based on the iBench browser test suite comparing the most popular Windows browsers to the browser, and claimed that Safari had the fastest performance. [25] His claim was later examined by a third-party site called Web Performance over HTTP load times. They verified that Safari 3 was indeed the fastest browser on the Windows platform in terms of initial data loading over the Internet, though it was only negligibly faster than Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox when it came to static content from the local cache . [26] [27]
The initial Safari 3 beta version for Windows, released on the same day as its announcement at WWDC 2007, contained several bugs [28] and a zero day exploit that allowed remote code executions. The issues were then fixed by Apple three days later on June 14, 2007, in version 3.0.1. [29] On June 22, 2007, Apple released Safari 3.0.2 to address some bugs, performance problems, and other security issues. Safari 3.0.2 for Windows handled some fonts that were missing in the browser but already installed on Windows computers such as Tahoma , Trebuchet MS , and others. [30] The iPhone was previously released on June 29, 2007, with a version of Safari based on the same WebKit rendering engine as the desktop version but with a modified feature set better suited for a mobile device. [31] The version number of Safari as reported in its user agent string is 3.0 was in line along with the contemporary desktop editions. [32]
The first stable, non-beta version of Safari for Windows, Safari 3.1, [33] was offered as a free download on March 18, 2008. In June 2008, Apple released version 3.1.2, [34] [35] which addressed a security vulnerability in the Windows version where visiting a malicious web site could force a download of executable files and execute them on the user's desktop. [36] Safari 3.2, released on November 13, 2008, introduced anti-phishing features using Google Safe Browsing and Extended Validation Certificate support. [37] The final version of Safari 3 was version 3.2.3, which was released on May 12, 2009, with security improvements. [38]
Safari 4 was released on June 8, 2009. [39] It was the first version that had completely passed the Acid3 rendering test, [40] as well as the first version to support HTML5 . [41] It incorporated WebKit JavaScript engine SquirrelFish that significantly enhanced the browser's script interpretation performances by 29.9x. SquirrelFish was later evolved to SquirrelFish Extreme, later also marketed as Nitro, which had 63.6x faster performances. [42] A public beta of Safari 4 was experimented in February 24, 2009. [43]
Safari 4 relied on Cover Flow to run the History and Bookmarks, and it featured Speculative Loading that automatically pre-loaded document information that is required to visit a particular website. The top sites can be displayed up to 24 thumbnails based on the frequently visited sites in a startup. The desktop version of Safari 4 included a redesign similar to that of the iPhone. The update also commissioned many developer tool improvements including Web Inspectors, CSS element viewings, JavaScript debuggers and profilers, offline tables, database management, SQL support and resource graphs. In additions to CSS retouching effects, CSS canvas, and HTML5 content. It replaced the initial Mac OS X-like interface with native Windows themes on Windows using native font renderings. [44] [45]
Safari 4.0.1 was released for Mac on June 17, 2009, and fixed Faces bugs in iPhoto '09. [46] Safari 4 in Mac OS X v10.6 "Snow Leopard" has built-in 64-bit support, which makes JavaScript load up to 50% faster. It also has native crash resistances that would maintain it intact if a plugin like Flash player crashes, though other tabs or windows would not be affected. [47] [48] Safari 4.0.4, the final version which was released on November 11, 2009, for both Mac and Windows, which further improved the JavaScript performances. [49]
Safari 5 was released on June 7, 2010, and was the final version (version 5.1.7) for Windows. [50] It featured a less distractive reader view, [51] and had a 30x faster JavaScript performances. It incorporated numerous developer tool improvements including HTML5 interoperability, and the accessibility to secure extensions. The progress bar was re-added in this version as well. Safari 5.0.1 enabled the Extensions PrefPane by default, rather than requiring users to manually set it in the Debug menu. [52]
Apple exclusively released Safari 4.1 concurrently with Safari 5 for Mac OS X Tiger . It included many features that were found in Safari 5, though it excluded the Safari Reader and Safari Extensions. [53] Apple released Safari 5.1 for both Windows and Mac on July 20, 2011, for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion; it was faster than Safari 5.0, and included the new Reading List feature. The company simultaneously announced Safari 5.0.6 in late June 2010 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, though the new functions were excluded from Leopard users.
Several HTML5 features were provided in Safari 5. It added supports for full-screen video, closed caption, geolocation, EventSource, and a now obsolete early variant of the WebSocket protocol. [54] The fifth major version of Safari added supports for Full-text search , and a new search engine, Bing . [54] Safari 5 supported Reader, which displays web pages in a continuous view, without advertisements. [55] Safari 5 supported a smarter address field and DNS prefetching that automatically found links and looked up addresses on the web. New web pages loaded faster using Domain Name System (DNS) prefetching. The Windows version received an extra update on Graphic acceleration as well. [54] The blue inline progress bar was returned to the address bar; in addition to the spinning bezel and loading indicator introduced in Safari 4. Top Sites view now had a button to switch to Full History Search. Other features included Extension Builder for developers of Safari Extensions. Other changes included an improved inspector. [56] Safari 5 supports Extensions, add-ons that customize the web browsing experience. Extensions are built using web standards such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. [57]
Safari 6.0 was previously referred to as Safari 5.2 until Apple changed the version number at WWDC 2012 . The stable release of Safari 6 coincided with the release of OS X Mountain Lion on July 25, 2012, and was integrated within OS. [58] As a result, it was no longer available for download from Apple's website or any other sources. Apple released Safari 6 via Software Update for users of OS X Lion. It was not released for OS X versions before Lion or for Windows. [59] The company later quietly removed references and links for the Windows version of Safari 5. [60] Microsoft had also removed Safari from its browser-choice page. [61]
Safari 7 was announced at WWDC 2013 , [65] and it brought a number of JavaScript performance improvements. It made uses of Top Site and Sidebar, Shared Links, and Power Saver which paused unused plugins. [66] Safari 7 for OS X Mavericks and Safari 6.1 for Lion and Mountain Lion were all released along with OS X Mavericks in the special event on October 22, 2013. [67]
Safari 8 was announced at WWDC 2014 and was released for OS X Yosemite . It included the JavaScript API WebGL , stronger privacy management, improved iCloud integration, and a redesigned interface. [68] It was also faster and more efficient, with additional developer features including JavaScript Promises , CSS Shapes & Composting mark up, IndexedDB , Encrypted Media Extensions , and SPDY protocol. [68]
Safari 9 was announced in WWDC 2015 and was shipped with OS X El Capitan . New features included audio muting, more options for Safari Reader, and improved autofill . It was not fully available for the previous OS X Yosemite. [69]
Safari 10 was shipped with macOS Sierra and released for OS X Yosemite and OS X El Capitan on September 20, 2016. [70] It had a redesigned Bookmark and History views, and double-clicking will centralized focus on a particular folder. The update redirected Safari extensions to be saved directly to Pocket and Dic Go. Software improvements included Autofill quality from the Contrast card and Web Inspector Timelines Tab, in-line sub-headlines, bylines, and publish dates. [71] [72] [73] This version tracks and re-applies zoomed level to websites, and legacy plug-ins were disabled by default in favor of HTML5 versions of websites. Recently closed tabs can be reopened via the History menu, or by holding the "+" button in the tab bar, and using Shift-Command-T. When a link opens in a new tab; it is now possible to hit the back button or swipe to close it and go back to the original tab. Debugging is now supported on the Web Inspector. [70] Safari 10 also includes several security updates, including fixes for six WebKit vulnerabilities and issues related to Reader and Tabs. The first version of Safari 10 was released on September 20, 2016, and the last version (10.1.2) was released on July 19, 2017. [74]
Safari 11 was released on September 19, 2017 for OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra , ahead of macOS High Sierra 's release. [75] It was included with High Sierra. Safari 11 included several new features such as Intelligent Tracking Prevention [76] which aimed to prevent cross-site tracking by placing limitations on cookies and other website data. [77] Intelligent Tracking Prevention allowed first-party cookies to continue track the browser history, though with time limits. [78] For example, first-party cookies from ad-tech companies such as Google/Alphabet Inc ., were set to expire in 24-hours after the visit. [79] [78]
Safari 12 was released for macOS Mojave on September 24, 2018. It was also available to macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra on September 17, 2018. Safari 12 included several new features such as Icons in tabs, Automatic Strong Passwords, and Intelligent Tracking Prevention 2.0. [80] Safari version 12.0.1 was released on October 30, 2018, within macOS Mojave 10.14.1, [81] and Safari 12.0.2 was released on December 5, 2018, under macOS 10.14.2. [82] Support for developer-signed classic Safari Extensions has been dropped. This version would also be the last that supported the official Extensions Gallery. Apple also encouraged extension authors to switch to Safari App Extensions, which triggered negative feedback from the community. [83]
Safari 13 was announced at WWDC 2019 on June 3, 2019. Safari 13 included several new features such as prompting users to change weak passwords, FIDO2 USB security key authentication support, Sign in with Apple support, Apple Pay on the Web support and increased speed and security. [84] Safari 13 was released on September 20, 2019, on macOS Mojave and macOS High Sierra , and later shipped with macOS Catalina . [85]
In June 2020 it was announced that macOS Big Sur will include Safari 14. [86] According to Apple, Safari 14 is more than 50% faster than Google Chrome. [87] Safari 14 introduced new privacy features, including Privacy Report, which shows blocked content and privacy information on web pages. Users will also receive a monthly report on trackers that Safari has blocked. Extensions can also be enabled or disabled on a site-by-site basis. [88] Safari 14 introduced partial [89] support for the WebExtension API used in Google Chrome , Microsoft Edge , Firefox , and Opera , making it easier for developers to port their extensions from those web browsers to Safari. [90] Support for Adobe Flash Player will also be dropped from Safari, 3 months ahead of its end-of-life . [91] A built-in translation service allows translation of a page to another language. Safari 14 was released as a standalone update to macOS Catalina and Mojave users on September 16, 2020. [92] It added Ecosia as a supported search engine. [93]
Safari 15 was released for iOS 15 , iPadOS 15 , macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina on September 20, 2021, and later shipped with macOS Monterey . [94] [95] It featured a redesigned interface and tab groups that blended better into the background. There were also a new home page and extension supports on the iOS and iPadOS editions. Starting this update, Safari versions would support iOS and iPadOS, ending the iOS version of separate updates. [96]
Safari 16 was released for iOS 16 , macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur on September 12, 2022, and later shipped with macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16 . [97] Safari 16 added support for non-animated AVIF [98] and contains several bug fixes and feature polishing. Safari 16 also includes shared tab groups, vertical tab support, website settings synchronization between devices connected to a same iCloud account, the ability to add backgrounds for a start page, [99] new languages for built-in translation, built-in image translation, and new options to edit strong passwords. [100] iOS 16.4 also introduced Web Push notifications. [101] [102]
Safari 17 was released in September 2023 with iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma . It includes a feature named "Profiles", which allows users to separate their browsing sessions for different use cases. Every profile has a special favorites bar, navigation history, extensions, tab groups, and cookies. Just like iOS 16.4, Safari 17 introduces web apps that can be added to the dock. Cookies are copied into web apps so that users stay logged in the web app if they already are in Safari. Safari can also now read pages with a new option in the navigation bar menu. [103] [104]
New privacy features include locked private browsing when not in use, tracking-free URLs, private relay based on the country’s location and time instead of general position. [103]
Safari has also been adapted to Vision Pro with a new spatial UI, and Apple has redesigned the Develop menu for web developers. [104]
Safari 17 added AV1 hardware decoding support for devices with hardware decoding support. [105]
Safari 18 is set to be released in fall 2024 with iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and macOS Sequoia , and for the first time, visionOS 2 . [106] Like Safari 15, it redesigns the interface, but not limited to the start page and reader mode (which is now called Reader).
A new feature, AI-powered "Highlights" have been introduced, which will automatically detect relevant information on a page and highlight it as you browse.
Other new features include a redesigned unified menu which is now on all versions of the browser, previously it was exclusive to iOS and iPadOS along with the compact mode on macOS, and faster loading times.
Starting iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, Safari would now ship the same features as the macOS version, which also included the name of the updates, ending the separate iOS version.
Safari Technology Preview was first released alongside OS X El Capitan 10.11.4. Safari Technology Preview releases include the latest version of WebKit, which included Web technologies in the future stable releases of Safari so that developers and users can install the Technology Preview release on a Mac, test those features, and provide feedback. [127]
The Safari Developer Program was a program dedicated to in-browser extension and HTML developers. It allowed members to write and distribute extensions for Safari through the Safari Extensions Gallery. It was initially free until it was incorporated into the Apple Developer Program in WWDC 2015 , which costs $99 a year. The charges prompted frustrations from developers. [ citation needed ] Within OS X El Capitan, Apple implemented the Secure Extension Distribution to further improve its security, and it automatically updated all extensions within the Safari Extensions Gallery. [128] [129]
Until Safari 6.0, it included a built-in web feed aggregator that supported the RSS and Atom standards. Current features included Private Browsing (a mode in which the browser retains no record of information about the user's web activity), [146] the ability to archive web content in WebArchive format, the ability to email complete web pages directly from a browser menu, the ability to search bookmarks, and the ability to share tabs between all Mac and iOS devices running appropriate versions of software via an iCloud account. [147]
In Safari's early years, it pioneered several HTML5 features that are now standard, such as the Canvas API. [ citation needed ]
In 2015, Safari was criticized for failing to keep pace with some modern web technologies. [148]
In September 2017, Apple announced that it would use artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the ability of advertisers to track Safari users as they browse the web. Cookies used for tracking will be allowed for 24 hours, then disabled, unless the AI system judges that the user wants to keep the cookie. [149] Major advertising groups objected, saying it will reduce the free services supported by advertising, while other experts praised the change. [150]
Apple used a remotely updated plug-in blacklist to prevent potentially dangerous or vulnerable plugins from running on Safari. Initially, Flash and Java contents were blocked on some early versions of Safari. Since Safari 12, support for NPAPI plugins (except for Flash) has been completely dropped. Safari 14 finally dropped support for Adobe Flash Player. [91]
Beginning in 2018, Apple made technical changes to Safari's content blocking functionality which prompted backlash from users [151] and developers [152] of ad blocking extensions, who said the changes made it impossible to offer a similar level of user protection found in other browsers. Internally, the update limited the number of blocking rules [153] which could be applied by third-party extensions, preventing the full implementation of community-developed blocklists. In response, several developers of popular ad and tracking blockers announced their products were being discontinued, [154] as they were now incompatible with Safari's newly limited content blocking features. Beginning with Safari 13, popular extensions such as uBlock Origin no longer work with Safari. [152]
Safari can sync bookmarks, history, reading list, and tabs through iCloud. This happens by default if a user's Mac, iPhone or iPad is logged in to iCloud, but syncing can be disabled in the Settings app (on iOS and iPadOS) or System Settings (on Mac). [ citation needed ]
iCloud Tabs lets users see a list of their other devices' open tabs that have not been added to a tab group. On iOS and iPadOS, these iCloud Tabs are shown below the grid of open tabs. On the Mac, they are shown at the bottom of the Tab Overview, or in an optional iCloud Tabs toolbar item. [ citation needed ]
Safari 15 added tab groups. These tab groups, and the tabs they contain, can be synced across devices; [155] when a tab is opened in a tab group on one device, it is added to that tab group on all devices, without needing to manually open it through iCloud Tabs. [ citation needed ] macOS Ventura added Shared Tab Groups, which can be shared through iMessage . New tabs and closed tabs will sync for all participants, and a small thumbnail with users' profile pictures will be visible on the tab they are currently viewing. [156]
Safari supports the Handoff feature, which allows users to continue where they left off on another device. [157] [158]
The Safari sidebar was introduced in Safari 8 as a way to access Bookmarks, Reading List, and Shared Tabs. The sidebar got its biggest update in Safari 16, when it added support for vertical tabs. This allows users to see their tabs arranged vertically in addition to the horizontal tab view in the top Toolbar. [159]
On macOS, Safari is a Cocoa application. It uses Apple's WebKit for rendering web pages and running JavaScript. WebKit consists of WebCore (based on Konqueror 's KHTML engine) and JavaScriptCore (originally based on KDE's JavaScript engine , named KJS). Like KHTML and KJS, WebCore and JavaScriptCore are free software and released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License . Some Apple improvements to the KHTML code were merged back into the Konqueror project. Apple has also released some additional codes under the open source 2-clause BSD-like license . [160] The version of Safari included in Mac OS X v10.6 (and later versions) is compiled for 64-bit architecture. Apple claimed that running Safari in 64-bit mode would increase rendering speeds by up to 50%. [161]
WebKit2 has a multiprocess API for WebKit, where the web-content is handled by a separate process than the application using WebKit. Apple announced WebKit2 in April 2010. [162] Safari for OS X switched to the WebKit2 API with version 5.1. [163] Safari for iOS switched to WebKit2 with iOS 8. [164] [165]
Safari for iPhone was released along with the original iPhone . It was well-received at the time of release, with news outlets calling it "far superior" to other mobile browsers at the time. [166] [167]
Safari has also been available for iPadOS since its split from the main iOS operating system. With the release of iPadOS 13 , Safari for iPad's user agent was changed to present itself to websites as Safari for Mac and shows the desktop version of websites, except in the miniature Slide Over multitasking view. Apple improved multitouch compatibility for desktop websites through a number of tweaks to the WebKit engine, for example with heuristics to determine whether to translate a tap into a hover or a click. The iPadOS version also gained a download manager, support for Media Source Extensions to allow users to watch Netflix in Safari, and support for the custom keyboard shortcuts in web apps like Gmail, which override Safari's own keyboard shortcuts. [168] [169] External webcam support for websites was later added also. [170]
The browser has continued to receive updates with new releases of iOS, such as the addition of browsing profiles for different use cases with iOS 17 , and a locked private browsing feature. [171] [172] iOS 15 added support for third-party browser extensions , which can be downloaded and installed through corresponding apps via the App Store . Extensions available included VPNs and content blockers. Universal extensions that also worked with the Mac version of Safari can be created via a WebExtensions API . [173]
A Safari version for visionOS released with the launch of the Apple Vision Pro headset in 2024, with features specific to the platform such as moving browser windows around in virtual space. The Verge said it was the headset's "killer app" at launch, due to its versatility and potential for web experiences. [170]
Safari for Windows was introduced along with the 3.0 version for Mac at Apple's WWDC conference in 2007, in an effort to increase overall Safari market share. It supported Windows XP and Vista at launch. [174] Wired , in a review, praised its speed but criticised bugs at launch. [175]
After Safari's release, Apple Software Update, an updater program bundled with QuickTime and iTunes for Windows, automatically selected Safari for installation, as a "recommended" program. This was criticized by John Lilly , then-CEO of Mozilla , who said it "borders on malware distribution practices". [176] By late 2008, Apple Software Update stopped installing new software by default, though it still offered Safari in its list of available programs (with its checkbox unticked).
Safari for Windows was discontinued after version 5.1.7 released in 2010. [177] [178]
In 2009, Safari had a market share of 3.85%. [179] It remained stable in that rank for five years with market shares of 5.56% (2010), 7.41% (2011), 10.07% (2012), and 11.77% (2013). [180] [181] [182] In 2014, it caught up with Firefox with a market share of 14.20%. [183] [184] In 2015, Safari became the second most-used web browser worldwide after Google Chrome , and had a market share of 13.01%. [185] From 2015 to 2020, it occupied market shares of 14.02%, 14.86%, 14.69%, 17.68% and 19.25, respectively. [185] [186] [187] [188] [189] [190] As of November 2021 [ update ] , Google Chrome continued to be the most popular browser with Safari (19.22%) following behind in second place. [191]
In May 2022, according to StatCounter, Apple's Safari dropped to the third most popular desktop browser after being overtaken by Microsoft 's Edge . [192] Safari was then used by 9.61 percent of desktop computers worldwide. [192] One year later, Safari retook second place. [193]
Software security firm Sophos detailed how Snow Leopard and Windows users were not supported by the Safari 6 release at the time, [194] while there were over 121 vulnerabilities left unpatched on those platforms. [195] Since then, Snow Leopard has had only three minor version releases of Safari (the most recent in September 2013 [196] ), and Windows has had none. [197] While no official word has been released by Apple, the indication is that these are the final versions available for these operating systems, and both retain significant security issues. [198] [199]
Apple has been criticized for anticompetitive practices related to Safari on iOS. [200] Before iOS 14 (2020), users could not change their default browser, so links always opened in Safari. [201] App Store rules still require all third-party iOS browsers to use Safari's WebKit browser engine, inheriting its limitations. [202] Apple's stated motivation for this browser engine restriction was to increase security, an argument disputed by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority . [203] The European Union's Digital Markets Act regulation, passed in 2022, requires Apple to allow alternative browser engines. [204] In response, Google and Mozilla began porting their browser engines to iOS. [205]
In a November 2023 disclosure, during the ongoing antitrust trial against Google, an economics professor at the University of Chicago revealed that Google pays Apple 36% of all search advertising revenue generated when users access Google through the Safari browser. This revelation reportedly caused Google's lead attorney to cringe visibly. The revenue generated from Safari users has been kept confidential, but the 36% figure suggests that it is likely in the tens of billions of dollars.
Both Apple and Google have argued that disclosing the specific terms of their search default agreement would harm their competitive positions. However, the court ruled that the information was relevant to the antitrust case and ordered its disclosure. This revelation has raised concerns about the dominance of Google in the search engine market and the potential anticompetitive effects of its agreements with Apple. [206]
macOS , originally Mac OS X , previously shortened as OS X , is an operating system developed and marketed by Apple since 2001. It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of all Linux distributions, including ChromeOS.
iCab is a web browser for MacOS and Classic Mac OS by Alexander Clauss, derived from Crystal Atari Browser (CAB) for Atari TOS compatible computers. It was one of the few browsers still updated for the classic Mac OS prior to that version being discontinued after version 3.0.5 in 2008; Classilla was the last browser that was maintained for that OS but it was discontinued in 2021.
The Finder is the default file manager and graphical user interface shell used on all Macintosh operating systems. Described in its "About" window as "The Macintosh Desktop Experience", it is responsible for the launching of other applications, and for the overall user management of files, disks, and network volumes. It was introduced with the first Macintosh computer, and also exists as part of GS/OS on the Apple IIGS. It was rewritten completely with the release of Mac OS X in 2001.
Mac OS X Panther is the fourth major release of macOS, Apple's desktop and server operating system. It followed Mac OS X Jaguar and preceded Mac OS X Tiger. It was released on October 24, 2003, with the retail price of US$129 for a single user and US$199 for a five user, family license.
A favicon , also known as a shortcut icon , website icon , tab icon , URL icon , or bookmark icon , is a file containing one or more small icons associated with a particular website or web page. A web designer can create such an icon and upload it to a website by several means, and graphical web browsers will then make use of it. Browsers that provide favicon support typically display a page's favicon in the browser's address bar and next to the page's name in a list of bookmarks. Browsers that support a tabbed document interface typically show a page's favicon next to the page's title on the tab, and site-specific browsers use the favicon as a desktop icon.
Shiira is a discontinued open source web browser for the Mac OS X operating system. According to its lead developer Makoto Kinoshita, the goal of Shiira was "to create a browser that is better and more useful than Safari". Shiira used WebKit for rendering and scripting. The project reached version 2.3 before it was discontinued, and by December 2011 the developer's website had been removed.
This is a comparison of both historical and current web browsers based on developer, engine, platform(s), releases, license, and cost.
Internet Explorer for Mac was a proprietary web browser developed by Microsoft for the Macintosh platform to browse web pages. Initial versions were developed from the same code base as Internet Explorer for Windows. Later versions diverged, particularly with the release of version 5, which included the cutting-edge, fault-tolerant and highly standards-compliant Tasman layout engine.
Dashboard is a discontinued feature of Apple Inc.'s macOS operating systems, used as a secondary desktop for hosting mini-applications known as widgets. These are intended to be simple applications that do not take time to launch. Dashboard applications supplied with macOS included a stock ticker, weather report, calculator, and notepad; while users could create or download their own.
Sleipnir is a tabbed web browser developed by Fenrir Inc. The browser's main features are customization and tab functions. It supports HTML5 and multiple layout engines.
webarchive is a Web archive file format available on macOS and Windows for saving and reviewing complete web pages using the Safari web browser. The webarchive format differs from a standalone HTML file because it also saves linked files such as images, CSS, and JavaScript. The webarchive format is a concatenation of source files with filenames saved in the binary plist format using NSKeyedArchiver. Support for webarchive documents was added in Safari 4 Beta on Windows and is included in subsequent versions. Safari in iOS 13 has support for web archive files. Previously there was a third party iOS app called Web Archive Viewer that provided this functionality.
Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google. It was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows, built with free software components from Apple WebKit and Mozilla Firefox. Versions were later released for Linux, macOS, iOS, and also for Android, where it is the default browser. The browser is also the main component of ChromeOS, where it serves as the platform for web applications.
iCloud is a cloud service operated by Apple Inc. Launched on October 12, 2011, iCloud enables users to store and sync data across devices, including Apple Mail, Apple Calendar, Apple Photos, Apple Notes, contacts, settings, backups, and files, to collaborate with other users, and track assets through Find My. It is built into iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, macOS, and visionOS. iCloud may additionally be accessed through a limited web interface and Windows application.
Notes is a notetaking app developed by Apple Inc. It is provided on the company's iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and macOS operating systems, the latter starting with OS X Mountain Lion. It functions as a service for making short text notes, which can be synchronized between devices using Apple's iCloud service. The application uses a similar interface on iOS and macOS, with a non-textured paper background for notes and light yellow icons, suggesting pencil or crayon. Until 2013, both applications used a strongly skeuomorphic interface, with a lined, textured paper design; the Mountain Lion version placed this inside a leather folder. This design was replaced in OS X Mavericks and iOS 7.
OS X Mavericks is the 10th major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. OS X Mavericks was announced on June 10, 2013, at WWDC 2013, and was released on October 22, 2013, worldwide.
OS X Yosemite is the eleventh major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers.
OS X El Capitan is the twelfth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh. It focuses mainly on performance, stability, and security. Following the California location-based naming scheme introduced with OS X Mavericks, El Capitan was named after a rock formation in Yosemite National Park. El Capitan is the final version to be released under the name OS X. OS X El Capitan received far better reviews than Yosemite.
macOS Sierra is the thirteenth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. The name "macOS" stems from the intention to unify the operating system's name with that of iOS, watchOS and tvOS. Sierra is named after the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California and Nevada. Specifically, Mount Whitney is the location for macOS Sierra's default wallpaper. Its major new features concern Continuity, iCloud, and windowing, as well as support for Apple Pay and Siri.
iPadOS 15 is the third major release of the iPadOS operating system developed by Apple for its iPad line of tablet computers. The successor to iPadOS 14, it was announced at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 7, 2021 along with iOS 15, macOS Monterey, watchOS 8, and tvOS 15. It was released to the public on September 20, 2021. It was succeeded by iPadOS 16, which was released on October 24, 2022.

An African safari can be one of the most unforgettable experiences of a lifetime, and plays an important role in Africa’s economic development, conservation, and sustainability. But do you wonder how the modern day safari came to be?
In the Swahili language, the word “safari" means “journey”. Originally from the Arabic verb “safar" which roughly translated means “to make a journey”. Swahili is the primary language spoken throughout much of East Africa and the Congo.
The earliest safaris recorded were primarily focused around the trade routes. With the Arabic and African cultures so closely connected in early human history, there would often be large caravans of traders traveling across vast landscapes to bring their wares from one city to the next.
During the 18th century, trading was a profitable and successful business as many prized items, and unfortunately even people, were sold and used for barter. During the colonial era, European safari caravans were large-scale operations that involved a huge crew along with supplies and weapons.
Fortunately, the safari that was associated with slave trade ended before the turn of the 20th century, changing the purpose of safaris from a business focus to one of adventure and exploration. Adventures in Africa at this point were marked by great discoveries of new species of plants, animals, and birds, each one as bright and exotic as the last. And the expeditions discovered awe inspiring landscapes that were both treacherous and beautiful.
Unfortunately, along with these naturalists and men of science came the hunters. Too often, the safari became associated with the “hunt,” that is, conquering the big unattainable wild beasts and returning from the hunt with trophies. Of great renown were hunters like William Cornwallis Harris, who not only hunted big game, but documented the hunts so that everyone would be aware of his courageous adventures into the African wilderness. This gave rise to the familiar imagery we associate with the word ‘safari’ today. East African hunting safaris became a fashionable pursuit among members of the privileged classes in Europe and America.
Ironically, it’s because of men like Harris that the conservation movement was born! This movement would ultimately help save these pillaged areas of Africa and the native wildlife, allowing them to continue to exist unspoiled for future generations. Today, the modern safari is far from what it was. Tourists now participate in wildlife viewing of the African savanna, forests, and rivers, shooting them with cameras, and mounting photos on their walls. Africa’s tourism industry provides many jobs for local people and offers them the opportunity to support their families and communities through the strength of ecotourism.
Africa's national parks, reserves and local communities need a steady stream of visitors to do their important work, so in a very real sense, you are making a difference simply by taking a safari.
Global Family Travels invites you to safar with us on a unique vacation to discover the extraordinary wildlife and connect with the rich cultures of the people throughout eastern and southern Africa! On our African Safaris , we offer options to Learn, Serve, Immerse in the countries of South Africa , Tanzania , and Zimbabwe , and custom safaris to other destinations in Africa. Each destination provides unique and authentic African cultural experiences to connect you with the people and communities we work with!
Want to learn more about the history of safaris? J oin us on Saturday, November 14th for a free travel event to learn more about the history of safaris, which will also show how you can make a difference for local communities and wildlife in Africa. RSVP here to register!

Safari is a web browser developed by Apple, based on the WebKit rendering engine and JavaScriptCore scripting runtime. It has been included with macOS since 10.3 Panther , replacing Internet Explorer for Mac as the default web browser, and with iOS since its initial release. It previously supported Windows between versions 3.0 and 5.1.7.
While Safari is an operating system component, on macOS, it can be updated independently of the core operating system. Typically, a major Safari version branch will continue to support the previous two releases of macOS, with these updates distributed via Software Update .
Safari can be identified by its User-Agent string, an HTTP header that identifies browsers ("user agents") to web servers and JavaScript programs.
Much of the user agent string contains tokens that are retained for compatibility reasons. Tokens relevant to identifying Safari and its host operating system are bolded.
WebKit constructs all of the user agent string up to the end of (KHTML, like Gecko) ; the rest is controlled by the browser, such as Safari. Non-Safari browsers making use of WebKit may change some or all of the user agent string.
Safari 0.x - 2.x releases use a string of the following format:
This example identifies:
Intel Macs, supported as of Safari 2.0, substitute PPC for Intel .
When the WebKit build is an unstable nightly, a plus sign is appended to the version, for instance, AppleWebKit/522+ .
With Safari 3.0, this was extended to include the Safari browser version number:
This identifies a PowerPC -based Mac running Mac OS X, Safari 3.0.2 build 522.12, and WebKit 522.11.
This identifies Windows XP , running Safari 3.0.2 build 522.11.3, and WebKit 522.11.3.
With Safari 3.1, the version number of Mac OS X was added. Notably, periods are substituted for underscores. Windows version numbers continue to use periods.
The release of Safari on the iPhone introduced a variant of the user agent string:
This identifies iPhone OS 1.0 build 1A543a on an iPhone , running Safari 3.0 build 419.3, and WebKit build 420+ (implies a nightly build).
The release of the iPod touch brought a minor variation of this user agent string, substituting iPhone for iPod .
With Safari 3.1 and iPhone OS 2.0, the operating system becomes identified as iPhone OS. This name continues to be used today for compatibility. This may have been added to ensure iPod touch devices received content intended for iPhones and other smartphones.
This identifies iPhone OS 2.0 build 5A347 on an iPod touch .
The user agent string remains identical across all platforms supported by Safari, until the release of the iPad . This makes a minor change to remove the iPhone keyword from the string, ensuring iPads receive content intended for large displays, rather than smartphones.
This identifies iPhone OS 3.2 build 7B367 on an iPad .
Safari 5.0 and iOS 5.0 remove the language identifier from the user agent string.
Safari 5.1 and iOS 5.0.1 remove the encryption strength indicator that had been obsolete since 2000. As the highest level was U (128-bit encryption strength, for use in the United States and Canada), this was indicated by most browsers for compatibility with servers that might otherwise use inferior encryption strength, increasing risk of data being decrypted by an attacker.
iOS 7.0 on iPod touch changes the device model identification from simply iPod to the more accurate iPod touch . The end result is the following string formats:
Due to a combination of the unreliability and complexity of user agent strings, and Apple's increased focus on privacy in Safari, parts of the user agent string have been deprecated by "freezing" version numbers and other platform-specific identifiers.
As of Safari 11.1, released with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and iOS 11.3, WebKit and Safari are both always identified as build 605.1.15 . On iOS, the operating system build is now hardcoded to 15E148 . This number doesn't point to a released build of any operating system, but the "15E" prefix matches iOS 11.3. The released build of 11.3 is 15E216.
As of Safari 15.0, released with macOS Big Sur 11.0 and iPadOS 13.0, desktop devices are always identified as Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7 . This likely occurred because renaming the Intel identifier for Apple Silicon , and changing the version number from 10_xx_y to 11_x_y , would cause some websites to fail to identify Mac users.
This release also enables "Request Desktop Site" by default on iPads, causing all requests to use the Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7 user agent string. The user agent string and navigator JavaScript object fully spoof the device as being an Intel Mac. It is still possible to identify an iPad by some of its other characteristics, such as multitouch capability.
watchOS 5.0 and later include the ability to view web pages in a limited instance of Safari. Apple Watch devices identify as an iPhone in the user agent string.
Safari and WebKit on Apple Vision match iPad behavior, using "Request Desktop Site" by default. When requesting a mobile site, it identifies as an iPad with the equivalent iOS version number to the current version of visionOS .
Current user agent strings for desktop mode appear as the following:
As highlighted by the bold sections, the only accurate identifiers are indications that the browser and engine are Safari and WebKit, and the Safari version in this case is 18.0.
Current user agent strings for mobile mode appear as the following:
The device class is identified (via either iPhone or iPad ), and the operating system version is accurately identified in this case as 18.0.
Safari is built into iOS, and can not be upgraded separately. Starting with iOS 14, the Safari releases closely follow those on macOS. Prior to this, it was typical that Safari on iOS would significantly lag behind macOS releases. However, on occasion, bug fixes would be backported through minor updates to the system WebKit component.
Prior to iOS 7, WebKit's text rendering functionality was used to render UIKit labels, text fields, and text views.
Safari 3 for Windows was announced by Steve Jobs at the WWDC 2007 keynote as a strategy for "Safari's market share to grow substantially". [2] Apple controversially used its existing install base of iTunes customers on Windows to distribute Safari 3.1 as a "recommended" update in Software Update , selected to be installed by default when the user may believe they are simply installing an iTunes update. The move was criticized by Mozilla CEO John Lilly. [3] Apple later [ when? ] changed Safari's Software Update entry to require the user to manually select it for installation.
Safari for Windows was silently discontinued after version 5.1.7 was released on 9 May 2012 ( 2012-05-09 ) . No official explanation was given, however it has been assumed to be a combination of its lack of success in gaining more than approximately 4.85% of desktop browser market share, and the introduction of Google Chrome in 2008, at the time being based on WebKit . [4] WebKit nightly builds continued to be released for Windows until 16 October 2012 ( 2012-10-16 ) . [5]
Safari 3 was initially announced with support for Windows XP and Windows Vista. While not documented by Apple, it was also found to run on Windows 2000 until 3.1.2. The final 5.1.7 release supports Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Safari technology preview.
Safari Technology Preview is a version of Safari that is regularly updated with recent WebKit development work. It is similar to Google Chrome Dev and Firefox Developer Edition , in that a release is made every few weeks, allowing web developers to test new changes before they appear in the stable release. While the previews are typically stable, they are still not intended for general use.
