I managed to log in and clicked the play button, but the video still wouldn’t start. Hoping that it was just a glitch, I reloaded the page and surprisingly the YouTube video frames were back. YouTube informed me politely that it didn’t support the browser I had but somehow identified it as Mozilla. The boxes were checked, but Flash still wouldn’t run. OK, maybe it was too old for the HTML5, but what about Flash? Usually, Safari users are told to authorize third-party plug-ins in the Settings, but this didn’t work with the old version. Safari 5.1.7 failed to playback a Flash or HTML5 video. I was thinking about exporting my bookmarks from Chrome when I ran into a roadblock. I had to customize it and add the ‘new tag’ button, but other than that Safari ran smoothly. Even faster than my Chrome! It opened up both light and heavy sites, no matter how many hi-resolution pictures of text they had. The browser was slow running it on my laptop on the first try, but when I closed and reopened it, Safari started to work much faster. I did find the Safari Icon on my desktop, and then I clicked on it. When it finished, Safari failed to run, even though I checked the ‘run after installation’ box. I was also asked to confirm my administrator privileges twice during the process. It took an unexpectedly long time for the software to install… about 10 minutes. I own a one-year old Windows 10 laptop and I tried to install the Safari browser for Windows. I knew that I wouldn’t get half of those amazing features I wrote about above, but I wanted to see if I could get a faster beast than Chrome – whom I’ve recently come to hate. The only version you can download and install is Safari 4.1.7. The only trusted site nowadays is from Softonic, that developed Safari in the first place. If you google ‘safari for windows 10’ you’ll come up with tons of links, and nine out of ten will bring you to a phishing or scam site. Apple pulled the plug on the Safari for Windows project in 2012. You can get all of this and even more if you happen to be a Mac or an iPhone/iPad owner. There’s no way to pull this same trick off in Chrome, Edge or Opera. 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. The soaring video window is also very handy. The most appealing feature is Reader mode when you can read any article without ads, navigation, and share-it buttons. Safari is also a very customizable browser. With the help of machine learning, Safari identifies advertisements and spammers and removes the cross‑site tracking data they leave behind. Not only can Safari warn you against downloading phishing or malware-infested sites, but it can also forbid sites engines to run certain software while downloading. Sandboxing is also another great feature that Safari has. Your activity maybe stays anonymous in the sense that your browser history won’t be recorded, otherwise there isn’t anything else “anonymous” about surfing the web while using this feature in Chrome. With other browsers you have to use Google search, and that still unfortunately tracks you. What they don’t have is the built-in stealth search engine Duck Duck Go. That’s not too big of a deal you may say, since Google Chrome and Edge have that same option. Safari features a Private Browsing mode to keep your browsing hidden and secure. They also save your history, links you visited and so on. It’s no secret that browsers are tracking your online activity to barrage you with ads afterwards. Safari’s approach to cybersecurity is number one winning factor for me here. Besides, it has many attractive features that other browsers lack. Its Java-based engine makes Safari the fastest browser ever. Safari is the iconic OS X and iOS browser.
