I do not want to upgrade to yosemite as I use parallels and updating will mean I have to buy new software How can I just update safari without updating the operating system

My service provider for my emails One.com is blocking me accessing the data as my version of safari is out of date. Im on version 10.8.6 snow leopard and do not wish to upgrade as I use parallels on this laptop to manage some other software that I run. Is there something I can do just to update safari alone so that I can access my emails using safari. If I download and use chrome it works fine. Please advise Paul

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Use Chrome then. Safari has no standalone installers anymore. In order to upgrade Safari, you need to upgrade your OS.

If you're running Safari 5.1.10, no. If you're running an earlier Safari version, open the Software Update pane of System Preferences and install all Safari and security updates.
