Why test Safari on TestingBot?

Real Safari, real Apple hardware

TestingBot streams real Safari running on real macOS and real iPhones / iPads. No simulators, no emulated WebKit, no "looks-like-Safari" surprises.

Every Safari since Safari 8

Test on every Safari version that still ships, from Safari 8 on Yosemite through Safari 26 on Tahoe. Match what your customers actually use.

Manual, automated, visual

Drive Safari live from your browser, automate it via Selenium, Playwright or Appium, or capture screenshots for visual regression, same grid, same login.

What is Safari?

Safari

Apple · WebKit · macOS, iOS, iPadOS

Safari is Apple's web browser, built on the WebKit rendering engine. It is the default browser on every macOS, iOS and iPadOS device, and it is the only engine permitted on iOS, so any iPhone or iPad user, on any browser, is effectively running Safari.

That makes Safari coverage non-optional for any consumer-facing site. WebKit's quirks around CSS, ITP (Intelligent Tracking Prevention), date/time inputs and PWAs catch teams off guard if they only test in Chromium during development.

  • Built on WebKit, maintained by Apple
  • Default browser on macOS, iOS and iPadOS
  • ITP, ATS and the strictest cookie policy on the web
  • Only browser engine allowed on iOS
  • Safari Technology Preview & Safari Beta available
What you can do

Everything Safari testing needs

Live debugging, automated CI runs, visual regression, extension testing, geolocation — all on the same fleet of real Apple devices.

  • Live & manual testing

    Drive Safari interactively from your browser. Native Web Inspector, network panel, console — same as if you were on a real Mac.

  • Automated testing

    Run Selenium, Playwright or Appium suites against Safari in parallel. Native Safaridriver on desktop, Appium on real iPhones and iPads.

  • Visual & screenshot testing

    Take pixel-perfect screenshots across every Safari version, then diff them automatically with our visual testing service.

  • Extension testing

    Load unsigned Safari App Extensions, Web Extensions (Xcode) and Safari Web Extensions 18.4+ in manual sessions and CI.

  • Geolocation & ITP

    Test from 20+ regions and validate Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention behaviour on real exit nodes.

  • Tech Preview & Beta

    Run today's site against tomorrow's Safari. Both Safari Technology Preview and Safari Beta are available alongside stable releases.

Real device vs simulator

Real Safari beats simulators every time

A WebKit emulator can render most pages, but a Safari emulator does not behave like the Safari your customers run. Here is how a real-Safari cloud compares to the alternatives.

Test from Windows

Test Safari on Windows, no Mac required

On Windows and need to test something in Safari? You don't have to buy a Mac, set up a virtual machine or chase down a borrowed laptop. TestingBot streams a real macOS desktop straight to your browser, so you can drive any Safari version: from Safari 8 on Yosemite through Safari 26 on Tahoe, directly from Windows 11, 10, or any older PC. Looking for a Safari emulator for Windows? TestingBot is the better alternative, with real Safari running on real macOS instead of a Windows-based simulator that drifts from what Apple ships.

Open the Web Inspector, switch tabs, validate Intelligent Tracking Prevention, run extensions, every developer tool the real Safari ships with, available from Edge, Chrome or Firefox on your Windows machine.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Safari versions are supported?

TestingBot supports every Safari from Safari 8 (OS X Yosemite) through Safari 26 (macOS Tahoe), plus Safari Technology Preview and Safari Beta. On mobile, Mobile Safari is available on real iPhones and iPads from iOS 12 through iOS 26.

Can I use Safari on Windows?

Apple discontinued Safari for Windows in 2012, so there is no modern Safari version that installs natively on a Windows PC. The supported way to test on Safari from Windows today is to drive a real macOS desktop in the cloud. With TestingBot you can stream a real Mac running any Safari version from Safari 8 through Safari 26 directly to Windows 11, 10 or older, with no virtual machine, no Mac purchase, and a Safari emulator alternative that runs real Safari rather than a WebKit simulation.

How can I test Safari without a Mac?

TestingBot streams real macOS desktops to any Windows or Linux browser, so you can test on Safari without owning or maintaining a Mac. You get the actual Safari developer tools, real WebKit rendering and full version coverage from Safari 8 to Safari 26, a cloud replacement for both a Safari emulator and an in-house Mac fleet.

Why do I need to test my website on Safari?

Safari has a market share of about 4% in the global browser market. This browser is built and maintained by Apple and supports all the latest browser technologies. Safari is the default browser on all macOS operating systems, which means a large portion of macOS users will use this browser for their day-to-day browsing. Test Safari's private browsing capabilities, open multiple tabs or test the cross site tracking prevention.

How can I automate Mobile Safari?

We recommend using Appium, which has built-in support to communicate with iOS Safari. Simply run your Appium scripts against the TestingBot device grid. TestingBot will instruct the iOS device to open Safari. Your Appium script will then instrument the mobile Safari browser in an automated way.

What is Safaridriver?

Safaridriver is a utility, shipped by default in every macOS operating system, which allows Selenium to automate Safari through a HTTP based API. To use Safaridriver, you need to make sure it is enabled by running this command in a terminal window: safaridriver --enable

How can I test on Mobile Safari?

TestingBot provides access to both iOS simulators and physical iOS devices. Use the developer tools to inspect webpages running on Mobile Safari, straight from TestingBot's Manual Testing service.

Can I test Safari on iPhone and iPad?

TestingBot provides access to physical iOS devices, located in our datacenter. You can run your automated or manual tests against iOS Mobile Safari on our iPhones and iPads.

How to test on older Safari versions?

TestingBot provides access to Safari versions from Safari 8 up to Safari 26.

Why is TestingBot the preferred choice for Safari Testing?

TestingBot provides real Safari browsers, ranging from Safari 8 up to Safari 26. You can use the developer tools that come with Safari to debug webpages, inspect elements and run performance tests. You can test the intelligent tracking prevention, test Safari extensions, open multiple tabs and perform all other actions on a remote Safari instance.
