I see some here are asking for Safari on Windows and Linux. You can get most of the way by just running Webkit builds on those platforms. BUT! That would only solve a small fraction of issues. Most of the issues my team has to work around are only with Safari on iOS and ipadOS. Plenty of those issues are so OS/hardware specific that they need to be debugged with actual devices since they can't even be reproduced in Xcode simulator. Those issues are mostly related to audio, webrtc and touch.


Are there actually any Webkit browsers on Windows without having to build it myself?


It's a bit complicated, but:

https://build.webkit.org/#/builders/67

Click the first Build # (9399 right now)

Near the end of the list of build steps you'll see "transfer-to-s3"

Click on that (step 12 right now) and you'll find the URL for the build on s3

(Right now: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/archives.webkit.org/win-x...)

You also need to have an (IIRC old) Itunes installed for some dependencies. Run MiniBrowser.exe when you've extracted the archive you downloaded from S3.

If they change the builds (e.g. 67 isn't Win anymore) you'd look for "Apple-Win-10-Release-Build" on the Builders list.


Thanks. That works, but worse that actual Safari. Especially icon fonts seem broken. But better than nothing :)


A few, not general purpose but dev builds basically: https://fujii.github.io/2019/07/05/webkit-on-windows/
