Its Java-based engine makes <em>Safari<\/em> the fastest browser ever. Besides, it has many attractive features that other browsers lack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Safari<\/em>\u2019s approach to cybersecurity is number one winning factor for me here. It\u2019s no secret that browsers are tracking your online activity to barrage you with ads afterwards. They also save your history, links you visited and so on.<\/p>\n<p><em>Safari<\/em> features a <em>Private Browsing<\/em> mode to keep your browsing hidden and secure. That\u2019s not too big of a deal you may say, since <em>Google Chrome<\/em> and <em>Edge<\/em> have that same option. What they don\u2019t have is the built-in stealth search engine <em>Duck Duck Go<\/em>. With other browsers you have to use Google search, and that still unfortunately tracks you. Your activity maybe stays anonymous in the sense that your browser history won\u2019t be recorded, otherwise there isn\u2019t anything else \u201canonymous\u201d about surfing the web while using this feature in <em>Chrome<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Sandboxing is also another great feature that <em>Safari<\/em> has. Not only can <em>Safari<\/em> warn you against downloading phishing or malware-infested sites, but it can also forbid sites engines to run certain software while downloading. With the help of machine learning, Safari identifies advertisements and spammers and removes the cross\u2011site tracking data they leave behind.<\/p>\n<p>Safari is also a very customizable browser. The most appealing feature is Reader mode when you can read any article without ads, navigation, and share-it buttons. The soaring video window is also very handy. You can drag-and-drop it anywhere you like on the screen and work with your e-mail or documents while your favorite music video is playing in the upper right corner. There\u2019s no way to pull this same trick off in <em>Chrome, Edge<\/em> or<em> Opera<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>You can get all of this and even more if you happen to be a Mac or an iPhone\/iPad owner. Apple pulled the plug on the <em>Safari for Windows<\/em> project in 2012. If you google \u2018safari for windows 10\u2019 you\u2019ll come up with tons of links, and nine out of ten will bring you to a phishing or scam site.<\/p>\n<p>The only trusted site nowadays is from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/download\/safari\/windows\/post-download?sl=1&amp;ex=DSK-309.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Softonic<\/a>, that developed Safari in the first place. The only version you can download and install is <em>Safari 4.1.7<\/em>. I still decided to give it a go. I knew that I wouldn\u2019t get half of those amazing features I wrote about above, but I wanted to see if I could get a faster beast than <em>Chrome<\/em> &#8211; whom I\u2019ve recently come to hate.<\/p>\n<p>I own a one-year old Windows 10 laptop and I tried to install the <em>Safari<\/em> browser for Windows. It took an unexpectedly long time for the software to install&#8230; about 10 minutes. I was also asked to confirm my administrator privileges twice during the process. When it finished,<em> Safari<\/em> failed to run, even though I checked the \u2018run after installation\u2019 box. I did find the Safari Icon on my desktop, and then I clicked on it.<\/p>\n<p>The browser was slow running it on my laptop on the first try, but when I closed and reopened it,<em> Safari<\/em> started to work much faster. Even faster than my <em>Chrome<\/em>! It opened up both light and heavy sites, no matter how many hi-resolution pictures of text they had. The only problem was the tools bar. I had to customize it and add the \u2018new tag\u2019 button, but other than that<em> Safari<\/em> ran smoothly.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7611\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7611\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7611\" src=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/safari-flash-player.jpg\" alt=\"Safari 5.1.7 failed to playback a Flash or HTML5 video.\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/safari-flash-player.jpg 600w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/safari-flash-player-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/safari-flash-player-225x150.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Safari 5.1.7 failed to playback a Flash or HTML5 video. Image source: Macworld UK.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I was thinking about exporting my bookmarks from <em>Chrome<\/em> when I ran into a roadblock. <em>Safari 5.1.7<\/em> failed to playback a Flash or HTML5 video. OK, maybe it was too old for the HTML5, but what about Flash? Usually, <em>Safari<\/em> users are told to authorize third-party plug-ins in the <em>Settings<\/em>, but this didn\u2019t work with the old version. The boxes were checked, but Flash still wouldn\u2019t run.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube informed me politely that it didn\u2019t support the browser I had but somehow identified it as <em>Mozilla<\/em>. Hoping that it was just a glitch, I reloaded the page and surprisingly the YouTube video frames were back. I managed to log in and clicked the play button, but the video still wouldn\u2019t start. The downloading ring kept circling, and I kept waiting without any result.<\/p>\n<p>A brief tour through other video hostings discovered the ugly truth. If you opt for <em>Safari on Windows<\/em>, videos just won\u2019t work for you. I even tried to download <em>Adobe Flash for Mozilla<\/em> (the only other option being <em>Adobe Flash<\/em> for <em>Edge<\/em> and<em> Chrome<\/em>) but it didn\u2019t run with<em> Safari<\/em> either. I guess, Adobe engineers just couldn\u2019t imagine anyone trying to run old <em>Safari<\/em> on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>The uninstall process took only four minutes, so that was a relief. I was a bit apprehensive about all of this, and all in all the verdict was disappointing. If you want to enjoy<em> Safari<\/em>\u2019s advantages, buy an Apple product. <em>Safari<\/em> will probably never come to <em>Windows<\/em> or <em>Android<\/em> and will remain the Apple key feature.<\/p>\n<h2>Links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Looking for the place to <a href=\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sell your electronics<\/a>?
