Hello all,
what is also really annoying is that Apple oblige people to upgrade to version 15 (those who still use v14 will see it in upgrade panel / Configuration) and it's impossible to remove this bad Safari version from your system. You'll notified all day long to upgrade.. Unbearable attitude from Apple. There are a lot of big bugs in Safari 15, this application seems to be in alpha version..! Apple is joking with users.
What did they do to this browser!? It is unusable, the new design is completely non-intuitive, insufficient ram issues with a lot of web pages which has been a problem for years now... I give up, I can no longer use this browser and will be switching to something else.
Do NOT make the mistake I did & ca NOT undo! If you are running an older MacOS (I like 10.13.6), this installer will install the new Safari for you perfectly. EXCEPT it WON'T run. This means Safari is lost FOREVER until you do a clean system reinstall NOT MacOS Recovery.
My workaround copied the old Safari from Time Machine. Apple, in its wisdom, does not permit backward-compatibility so it cannot replace the new NOT-WORKING Safari in the Applications folder. Put it anywhere else. It will work 7 remember all your settings, history & bookmark.
Apple could easily solve this by blocking the installation on older systems. What a FAIL!
Is this another Apple one-way street without the capability to revert to Safari 14? Interesting that MacUpdate shows some Safari Preferences screenshots but not the one to set Safari 15 Tabs to the previous style.
The redesigned Safari 15.0 is out for Catalina and Big Sur. I don't believe Apple has made a downloadable package available for Big Sur, but the package for Catalina can be found here: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/15/01/002-02859-A_TFTOEP7KTW/c962h7kwercno4bxxaql4o2g03y80pefij/Safari15.0CatalinaAuto.pkg
Safari 14.1 updates are available from Apple for Mojave:

Actually, v14.0.3 is the current version. - - And now for my diatribe: Apple literally destroyed my interest in using Safari thanks to them destroying its available EXTENSIONS. This insanity started with version 13, which Apple rapidly replace with version 14. With this revision, Apple marketing promised the meagre list of available EXTENSIONS would increase, that it would be easier for older EXTENSIONS to be revised to work with Safari 14. Instead, the list of available EXTENSIONS shrank even further, making the Safari experience even worse. SO I GAVE UP on Safari. I moved entirely over to BRAVE. I also keep FireFox and iCab around. I have ALL the EXTENSIONS I enjoy along with the profound services they provide. My favorite? uBlock Origin. It's developer gave up on Safari as well and will not be developing for it ever again. I don't blame him at all. LOUSY LAZY JOB APPLE! :-P
Safari 14.0.2 still has the bug introduced in Safari 14.0.1 that makes unusable the buttons to upload files through the browser in Mojave. affects only Safari, only on Mojave 10.14.6 and with any site: from government sites to attaching files to a gmail message. Apple quality at its best.
The new Maps App sucks on the new Safari update. Worst design ever NOT as simple as it was do techs thinks because it's more difficult it's better (NOT)!!!
The extension holocaust continues, making it suck. Apple claim to have made it easy for the legions of extension makers they locked out with stupid Safari 13 to update their software to work with Safari 14. We shall see. For now, the extensions available for Safari 14 remain abysmal. - - Litmus test: If uBlock Origin ever returns, I'll relent my hatred of what Apple has done to Safari.
Caution. Online many people say that 1) Safari now refuses to allow any uploads and 2) has destroyed the webloc icon images. Perhaps the result of fixing the very bad memory leak from 14.0?

The JavaScrip for this Latest Safari is crap on my 2010 Mac Pro. Every few Hours Safari starts using up to 800% of my CPU and completely slows-down my Computer. I have to quit Safari and restart, and then I get relatively lower CPU Readings (Average, these days is 250%).
Safari 13.1.1 for High Sierra and Mojave:

I love this Browser. The complaints about not being able to use "CRUCIAL extensions" is a bit misleading because many of those have been replaced by as good or better alternatives. Yes, if you insist on using the "CRUCIAL extensions" of the past several mainstream user sites show you how to use them if you insist and with minimal effort.
Safari has the satellite-site t.irtyck.com. It joins and switched off only safari. To see it it is possible: safari-preference-websites-reader. To remove it it is impossible anything. In a computer it is not present, there is with Safari. Apple too undertakes nothing. Finishes that, as safari it is impossible to remove. More shortly, you want a headache - load safari. Be protected this bad browser.
"Purchase now"??? No such thing. The link to 'Purchase' Safari simply goes to Apple's Safari info page. If you for some reason actually want Safari 13, you get it from the "Software Update" System Preferences pane, if your Mac supports it. - - Meanwhile, I personally recommend NOT updating to Safari 13 specifically due to Apple destroying the ability to use CRUCIAL Safari Extensions with full capability. These include the illustrious uBlock Origin extension. It's developer is fed up with Apple and abandoned updating his extension for Safari 13. Hobbled is AdBlock Plus such that its blocking blacklist ability is gone. Users of 1Password are forced to pay for version 7 in order to simply continue using its Safari extension. AdGuard is gone! The DuckDuckGo Private Search extension is gone! SessionRestore is gone! What is available as Safari 13 extensions is an odd list of 'Who's This?' obscure odds and ends, lots of payware and various hobbled junk (IMHO). Safari 13 is an Apple FAILure. If you can manage to keep or restore Safari 12, I highly recommend doing so. And note that I work daily with Mac security, and I'm saying that! Shameful.
Safari 13.0.5 for Mac OS 10.13.x High Sierra -- http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/15/52/061-55346-A_1BG1GP8ECO/up3nf1cayr9nips82spt7vk34t52e5s9ao/Safari13.0.5HighSierraAuto.pkg
please make ublock origin available again! it's the most efficient browser for mac. i don't know how apple does it, but chrome, edge (the new one) and firefox are all more resource hungry.
that's my only criticism. that's why i only give it a 4 star rating
I was good... was. F***** Apple killed Extensions! Best feature is gone now. App Store add-ons are crappy and need to launch an app every time i reboot a machine. Hate Apple with it's "new-way software". Even when i restored a copy of Sierra with Safari 12.1.2, it has deleted all installed extensions! Why, how? It's even not a 13 ver. F*** you Apple. Tim Cook must leave.
Safari 13.0.4 is included with the Catalina 10.15.2 update, but also available for High Sierra:

What the h*** happened to the URLs? Not only are all my links showing up as "about:blank" (with a fully loaded page), but my tabs don't show what they are either. I have four tabs open, none labelled, and I have no idea what they are without clicking on each one. I hate this new version!
Apple‘s ruination of extensions, no longer supporting WebExtensions, offering only junk new, or hobbled old extensions wrecked Safari. I maintain v12.x on my Macs and only use v13 via Safari Technical Preview. Firefox is now my default browser.
