Safari should be on Windows. I don't care what CSS standards it has, it needs to give Chrome and Firefox some competition

It used to be there, 2007-2012 https://archive.org/details/safari-5.1.7-windows

I found an announcement in Italian on Apple website. It's from June 2007 https://www.apple.com/it/newsroom/2007/06/11Apple-Introduces...

The original plan with the iPhone was to have web apps, not native apps. That's why they needed to run the rendering engine of the iPhone on Windows. Then they went native and Mac only with the dev environment.

I don't think that Apple would earn one single dollar by porting Safari to Windows again.

Here are the Windows WebKit builds: https://build.webkit.org/#/builders/1192

"MiniBrowser" opened after installing AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 from iTunes and VC_redist.x64, and it appeared to be making network requests, but it never rendered any web content I could see.

The layout tests on Windows are failing at the moment due to a regression introduced a few days ago (likely https://commits.webkit.org/301043@main).

The easiest way to run WebKit on Windows is via Playwright.

You used to be able to get Epiphany preview on Windows, for quite a long time after you could get Safari on Windows. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore, though.
