Is it possible to upgrade Safari without upgrading my current OS 10.6.8? The newer OS versions freeze my computer.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Safari is a part of OS X and the only way to get a newer version is to upgrade the OS.
El Capitan uses Safari version 9.

Not past 5.1.10. If desired, switch to a product such as Firefox.

I did try El Capitan and would like to keep it, but my computer freezes; I had to restore to the older version. Any fix for the newer OS freezing (black screen) my old 24" iMac?
How much RAM do you have? When did the computer freeze? What were you doing when it froze?
4GB RAM... When simple videos are running like on Facebook, or if the computer is idle for a while; I've been trying to pinpoint but it's difficult. Some days it would run forever without issue, others when only for a few minutes - with or without videos. I can't find the common thread. It freezes, then black-screens... I know - its impossible to get a "prescription" when the patient is vague!!! I'll just have to live with the 10.6.8!!!
