Apple's Safari browser is the original Webkit-based browser for the Windows operating system. The Windows version seems rather obsolete and hasn't received an update in quite some time.

In terms of features, users of OS X should feel at home with this Windows release but users of other browsers like Firefox or Google Chrome might feel a little lost mainly because it's obvious this web browser was designed for Apple's own operating system. Unfortunately, many of the newer features available in the Mac version of Safari seem to be missing in this release.

With that said, the program is fully customizable and provides access to a number of settings which can be geared towards your own liking. You can change the appearance (default fonts and font smoothing), bookmark preferences, tabs, RSS feeds, autofill, security parameters and more.

The application includes an interesting feature called 'Reading List' which can sync your saved web pages across all of your devices running a version of Safari -- whether it be an iPhone, iPad or another system running OS X. This can be useful for reading a web page on a portable device, even if it doesn't have a web connection at a later point.

Though Safari has been optimized for speed and Apple's own tests show it to out-perform Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, the reality is that the browser itself isn't really faster than other browsers on a Windows system. It does not feature hardware acceleration, not can it take advantage of 64-bit architecture.

In conclusion: There are a number of faster and less-cluttered browsers out there and Safari for Windows is really only useful for diehard fans of Apple products. We'd suggest looking at Firefox or a Chromium variant instead of bogging your system down with Safari.

A few readers have asked about the downloads list in macOS Safari—in particular, how to find it when the button is missing and where to find entries for older downloads.

While it seems like a simple matter of clicking a button and scrolling, Apple added some sophistication that has tripped people up. In earlier versions of Safari, the Downloads button was always present and all previous downloads appeared in a list. You could click a button to clear the list or use other history-wiping tools to erase it.

In the most recent Safari releases for OS X and macOS Sierra, the Downloads only appears when there are items in a list, and you can choose to age out the entries.

In Safari > Preferences, the General tab offers Remove Download List Items as a pop-up menu with choices of After One Day, When Safari Quits, Upon Successful Download, and Manually. While I don’t recall ever changing this option, it’s set to After One Day on my main computer; Apple may have chosen that for us as an option when the item was added as a preference.

Thus, if you have any of the options except Manually checked, the Downloads button will routinely disappear. If you’re relying on that list as a record of what you’ve downloaded in the past, make sure the option is set to Manually.

This has something to do with privacy, of course. By dumping the list routinely or in certain cases, Apple ensures that less information about your behavior gets retained for later examination—although if someone can get close enough to my machine to check out my Downloads list, they’re also likely to be able to access my Downloads folder.
