I'm frontend developer, When I design a web page with css in Safari browser, it renders differently from other browsers like Chrome, Firefox. How do I use Safari browser on windows to test my web pages.

I guess, to use Safari on Windows, you can use some tools like browserstack.comSideswipe

The best solution is to download the MacOs and install in a virtual machine like VmWare or Virtualbox. You can also use real-time safari browser using these website. There are many free real-time safari browser too.

This question is 2 years old, but I hope I can help someone who is having the same troubles with testing on a Windows machine. I found this resource from a video of the GOAT of CSS Kevin Powell, big shout-out to him and the author of this article.

There are detailed steps how to setup everything and it only takes 5 minutes to do so. Of course the best way to test on Safari remains using a MacOS device, but now we have a pretty quick tool for other OS as well.

Now its not possible to install it. Alternative is that you can try to do it on linux ubuntu (or virtualbox on windows and there ubuntu and safari).

There are two potential workarounds for installing Safari on Linux: using WINE (the compatibility layer, not the drink) or using WINE and PlayOnLinux, which provides a graphical user interface (UI) for WINE.
