Download Safari update without app store

I'd like to be able to download Safari updates similar to OSX updates. When I go to the normal download location that I use for OSX updates, I can't find a Safari update to download. I would like to do this as I support multiple systems and would not like to go to the App Store on every single system.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 13" Mid-2010

You can contact Apple about your requirement via the Safari feedback page. Presently, you are required to use the macOS App Store on each Mac to obtain Safari updates via software update, where they are released typically as part of security updates.

Yes Ii would prefer that too, but sadly Apple in its infinite loopiness decided to change it to only available through the App Store.


If all your macs are on the same OS and version number you could try just downloading to one mac, then copy the Safari app to another mac, and if it works you could try on another and so forth. Be sure to make a backup of each mac

just incase it doesn't work.
