Safari for Mac
Safari is included with your Mac operating system.
Updating Safari
To keep Safari up to date for the version of macOS you're using, install the latest macOS updates.
The most recent version of macOS includes the most recent version of Safari. For some earlier versions of macOS, Safari might also be available separately from the Updates tab of the App Store.
Reinstalling Safari
If you deleted Safari and don't have a Time Machine backup or other backup, reinstall macOS to put Safari back in your Applications folder. Reinstalling macOS doesn't remove data from your computer.
Before reinstalling, you might want to use Spotlight to search for Safari on your Mac. If you find it, but it's no longer in your Dock, just drag it to the Dock to add it back.
Safari for Windows
This on my old Mac mini on which I had to wipe the internal SSD and reinstall El Cap. When El Cap was installed it also installed Safari 9.10.2. This worked fine. Late in the day yesterday the App Store wanted to update Safari. App Store 'thinks' that it installed 11.1.2 but it did not. Safari is still at 9.10.2. It no longer works.
The first step to updating your Safari browser is checking if your Mac actually has any available system updates. If you have macOS Mojave or later, upgrades will come via your System Preferences. If you have a software update available, you can install it to get the updated version of Safari. About Safari for Mac Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Computer, Inc. And available as part of its Mac OS X operating system. It was included as the default browser in Mac OS X v10.3 (Panther) and is the only browser bundled with Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger).
Apple no longer offers Safari updates for Windows. Safari 5.1.7 for Windows was the last version made for Windows, and it is now outdated.
