What are the differences from a developer point of view between Safari for Mac and Safari for Windows?
I think it boils down to evaluate differences between (if I missed something, please correct):
- Layout rendering
- Javascript behavior
The final decision to be made being:
Can developers test only on Safari Windows (knowing that we can't afford to miss important bugs)?
Thanks, JB

Pretty much all of the menu options and features in Safari for Windows are exactly the same as Safari for Mac, but you won't get the same integration with the operating system that you see on OS X — standard-looking Downloads popover, Dictionary integration, great drag & drop and text editing, a nice PDF plugin, ...
As far as rendering and JavaScript are concerned, there is no difference. What is different is underlaying UI library used for browser itself, but page render is the same. Show activity on this post. Font rendering can be different between Mac and Windows Safari as the systems typically have different fonts.
No, Apple has now limited the Safari Browser only up to iOS and macOS so you cannot download it for Windows OS. However, you can get the outdated Safari versions for Windows OS which might have some compatibility issues.
