How to Update a Browser to Safari 2

Update your Safari version to 2.0.

While PC computers offer a variety of Web browsers, the Mac standard is currently Safari. As of April 2010, the most current version of the Safari browser is 4.0. This however only applies to computers running the most up to date Mac OS X. If you are running an older version of the OS then you might only be able to upgrade to Safari 2.0. These users can automatically upgrade the browser using a Mac's internal software update. Other computer users who want to specifically download the older 2.0 version will need to download the installer from a separate website.
