Safari is an Internet browser released on June 30, 2003. It is included with Apple's macOS on the iMac and MacBook, and iOS on the iPhone and iPad. It is also available for the iPod Touch.

Note

On June 24, 2013, Apple announced Safari for the PC and Microsoft Windows operating system is discontinued. Older versions are still available, but with Apple no longer supporting the Windows-based Safari browser, we suggest an alternative browser like Chrome or Firefox.
