Safari is a web browser designed and distributed by Apple Inc. Released in 2003 with Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), it replaced Microsoft Internet Explorer as the default browser for systems running on Mac OS X (now macOS). Safari would later be brought onto the iOS and iPadOS platforms. Safari was also made available for Windows until May 9, 2012.
Rather than simultaneously open a number of windows like other Internet browsers at the time, Safari allows you to have a set of tabs within one window. (You can still open and use multiple windows if you prefer.) Safari was also one of the first browsers to support pop-up window blocking. The default search engine is Google.
Safari 1
Safari 1 was released on January 7, 2003. Despite the fact it was meant to replace Internet Explorer for Macs, IE wasn't discontinued until June that year. It is unknown why. Safari 1 features a search bar and an address bar and is fully customizable. Safari 1 was the first web browser to feature tabs.
Safari 2
Safari 2 was released with Mac OS X 10.4 on April 29, 2005 and was the default browser for the operating system. Safari 2.0 experienced many errors and bugs so Apple quickly released Safari 2.0.2 on October 31, 2005 and included the modifications to pass the Acid2 test.
Safari 3
Safari 3 was released on January 9, 2007, the same day as the iPhone was announced. Safari 3 was released for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista. Apple also announced a mobile version of Safari for iOS for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Safari 3 for Windows experienced more bugs than ever after it's release in June 2007, but these bugs were fixed on June 14, 2007. Apple also shortly released Safari 3.0.2 for Microsoft Windows computers to address more bugs.
