Run Older Versions of Safari With Multi-Safari
While looking up how to run Safari 2.0 on Snow Leopard, I found this neat web page called Multi-Safari that offers self-contained applications for Safari 1.0 all the way to 3.2.1. The original webkit frameworks were kept so that web developers could test older versions of the rendering engine on their sites and each icon has a little badge that shows what version it is (and so you don’t confuse them with the current Safari icon). The versions from 2.0 up will run on Snow Leopard and Leopard, even the tiger versions. If you try running anything below 2.0 on Leopard, you’ll get a message telling you that it’s not compatible with your version of Mac OS X.
I think it’s really interesting to run these old browsers on a modern operating system.
