Q: How can I upgrade Safari?

1. Not on that Mac. Switch to a product such as Firefox.

2. Yes.

Try Firefox instead, though they just dropped support for 10.6 so you know what is next to be dropped, don't you.

Support will be dropped for the next version, FF 46 for 10.6 through 10.8. HOWEVER, users will supposedly be automatically switched to the 45 ESR version, which will continue to get security patches. The 45 ESR (Extended Support Release) should be good through the end of '16 and could be good up to March '17.

If not switched automatically, can be downloaded and installed manually.

That said, I will most likely be switching to the ESR regardless, since Firefox is soon to self-destruct, even in supported OSs, by turning it into a Chrome wannabe.

EDIT: maybe not until FF 48, not sure.
