Q: Does OS X 10.6.8 support Safari 7?

No   Safari 5.1.10 is about the best you can get.

No, it's outdated.

Only Firefox is up to date and it's the only browser you can use on Snow Leopard now. Others like Opera and Vivaldi…require Lion 10.7

Not true.   I am happily using Safari 5.1.10 on a 10.6.8 iMac.   What is true is that it will not be updated further and may in time become unusable.   But that is not the question Mitzell asked.   He/she wanted to know the if Safari 7 was a Version that could use be used with Snow Leopard.   I gave him the latest version number.

Not a competition here.

Mozilla Firefox is the only up to date mainstream browser for 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10 is OUTDATED.

Safari out of date but can't get update.

and there are such many questions. Many websites show you date Safari 5 is out of date and even Safari 6 is out of date.

I doubt that you are working as a web designer if you tell me I'm wrong about Safari 5 being out of date.

Correct.   It is not competition.   But you are making more of this than you need.  I have clearly said that Safari will not be updated further, which means it has come to the end of its road.    Personally I have problems with Firefox, which is well known in these forums as not to be further updated after late August, but I didn't raise that point.    And who said I was working as a web designer.   Please point me to that statement.

I apologise. Firefox is slow and it seems to be quite buggy. I don't know whether or not it's buggy, but it opens website way slower than other mainstream browsers. I think their engine is the issue. It's not only the issue of OS X, but also iOS, Android,Windows and Linux.

I didn't say you were working as a web designer, but you should know that Safari on Snow Leopard does not support the latest web technologies.

Sad to hear that Firefox will drop the support. It is possible to run TenFourFox on Snow Leopard though. I don't understand why Apple doesn't support their operating systems a little longer. They could work on one OS for years and there should be a cap between the operating systems, as they had before. I don't really understand the new OS X every year with so little changes yet dropping the support on older Macs.

I'd personally still use 10.6.8 if it wasn't unsupported. It was very fast, very beautiful and the perfect OS. Mavericks should've been Lion in my opinion.
