Safari in WSL

Edge Linux :P

I just run Degoogled Chromium forks (Cromite/Thorium) these days. Maybe its still Chrome underneath, but if I'm blocking Google Ads and their native browser tracking, at least its still a middle finger to Google's business model.

How? There is no Safari for Linux and never has been, AFAIK.

There was Safari for Windows until 5.x and it was good -- I liked it and used a Windows XP VM just to run it on Linux. Dead and gone now.

You can run Epiphany on WSL and get a Webkit browser that way, but that is not at all what you said.

If you mean running the 2012 release of Safari 5 under WINE today, I think that using such an old browser is probably a bad plan.
