Safari for Linux

You would have to send feedback to Apple at

When is Apple going to start making Linux compatible software.

Extremely doubtful they ever will.

This may or may not work as far as Safari is concerned:

At your own risk! 🙂

I've had it working in the past. I couldn't get Flash to work but for my testing purposes that didn't matter to me 🙂

Why do you say that the chances of Safari working on Linux OS is a shot in the dark? I thought Mac is or was based of Unix/Linux? Am I incorrect?

You got the Unix part right. But Linux is not part of the OSX or based on it...

But to be honest, no one should ever say Apple won't make a program to work on another OS. Look(!), they made Safari for Windows! Whose to say they won't make Safari for Linuxs. Gee... I like to see Final Cut Pro ported over to Windows. Boy, wouldn't that shake some people/businesses up.

I can't speak for Apple...

You could probably find some open source browser that is based off the rendering engine though (webkit). It's known that there will be a Linux version of chrome and that uses webkit. The Safari part is just the user interface and front-end. I doubt apple will be build a Linux version of Safari, given Linux's current market share.

Here is a list of webkit browsers. At least one is definitely a linux program.
