Not on v10.6.8.

The only way to update Safari is to upgrade OS X.

It's because your Mac is running v10.6.8 Snow Leopard. It's such an outdated OS X, you're bound to have problems with Safari.

Try using the Firefox browser instead > https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

See if your Mac can upgrade to v10.11 El Capitan > Upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

That way you would have Safari 9.1.1 installed. The latest version for Safari available.
