How to use an older version of Safari ( like Safari 5.1 or Safari 6.0 ) on Mac OS X Mavericks ? This StackOverflow question answers my question for OS X, except Mavericks.

Multi-Safari website doesn't load and from a google cached copy I only saw Mac OS X Lion solutions.

I'd prefer a local solution instead of using services like BrowserStack because they're just annoyingly slow...

CNET has outdated Safari versions for download, e.g.

That said, I couldn't actually install them -- running the installer seems to succeed, but nothing new appears in /Applications, and OSX won't let you delete Safari as it's "required by OSX".

    Will not work, per Multi-Safari website: "Safari normally uses the Web Kit framework found inside Mac OS X to render web pages and execute javascript. This means that if you preserve an old version of Safari to run it on a newer version of Mac OS, it will use the newer Web Kit found in the system and you will get the same results as with the newer version. Thus, you would normally need a separate installation of Mac OS X for each version of Safari you want to test a website into." – php_on_rails May 07 '14 at 15:27
