Is there a newer browser version of Safari I can update to from El Capitan?

I am looking for a newer Safari browser version that will work with my current operating system 10.11.6.

You would need to upgrade the operating system on your iMac, if you can.

The model year of an iMac is available at Apple menu > About This Mac.

An early 2009 iMac can be upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.6 but no later version. See: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

A late 2009 through mid 2011 iMac can be upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.6 but no later version. See: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

A late 2012 through late 2013 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 but no later. See: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

A mid 2014 and late 2014 can be upgraded to the latest version of Big Sur macOS 11 but no later. See: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

A late 2015 or later can be upgraded to the current version of Monterey macOS 12. See: How to upgrade to macOS Monterey - Apple Support

 

If you can't, another option would be to use a different browser such as Chrome or Firefox. The current version of Chrome will run on OS X 10.11 or later. See: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7100626?hl=en
