Because the original thread author stated they had Mavericks 10.9.5, with certain issues

related to their configuration and there has been no update to Safari for that macOS, I

stated some work-arounds that I've found useful.


While I occasion to use Mavericks 10.9.5, there are no updates to Safari nor that OS X.


If you are still running Mavericks 10.9.5 and can't see Sierra as an option, you may try

the link and read about, then get El Capitan from the Apple servers.

If those users want to try a work-around, regular Firefox 57 (Quantum) may do OK. So

there also is a chance to use SeaMonkey version mentioned, while it likely has gotten

bypassed so login at google accounts/gmail may fail now. Apple Mail in those older

OS X has a few reported issues by some users who still try to access Google mail.

El Capitan 10.11.6 can run on most Macs that had been running Mavericks 10.9.5; so

there's a portal there to get a newer Safari browser, & also saw a recent security update.


Because Safari versions are tied to releases of newer macOS, this ^ is a way to get one.

For now. It's usually good planning to have and use more than one valid browser.
