This is something I've never understood. What's running under the hood of a Mac. UNIX. What's Linux based off of. UNIX. Porting Mac software over to Linux should be super easy if Apple would just recompile the entire library set into a Linux distro.

Too small of a market to be worth the effort of the rewrite needed.

Actually, by the sounds of it, we need to convince more Mac, and Windows users to switch to Linux 😉

And Apple has discontinued the Windows version. If you want to run Safari in Linux, the only way to try that is to install Wine from the repositories (depending on the Linux distribution you are using) and then, download Safari for Windows from the Apple Support site. Finally, run the installer using Wine to install it.

Wine virtualizes Windows applications to run them in Linux, and it may or may not work in Safari

Good luck on that front.

You do realize that you are responding to a thread that has been dead for 4 years?😝

I don't think it's highly unusual for "the big two" to ignore Linux. Fortunately for Linux users, there's Firefox and Chrome.
