Safari was introduced within Mac OS X Panther in January 2003, and as of 2021, has progressed through fifteen major versions. It is supported on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS a Windows version was offered from 2007 to 2012. It succeeded Netscape Navigator, Cyberdog and Internet Explorer for Mac as the default web browser for Macintosh computers. It is primarily based on open-source software, and mainly WebKit.
